finding clothes
that realy suit you
One of the most important decisions we
need to make before buying clothes is to
discover what we really need. If we don’t
get this right we will end up spending money on items that we just won’t wear. For example, if you are a stay at home mom you’re
likely to need lots of durable, easy-to-wash,
practical garments. However, if you work
in the corporate world you will need smart
outfits that mix and match together. Examining how you use your time will quickly reveal where you need to spend your money.
At the end of the day we all need clothes
that are appropriate to the life we lead.
KNOW YOUR SHAPE
If we want our clothes to be flattering then
we have to analyse our figure. The four
most popular body shapes are as follows:
The pear shape is recognised by being
broader in the hips than the bust. Look for
clothes that have well defined shoulders
and are darker below the waist. Longer
length jackets with shaping and boot leg
trousers will also work for you.
The apple shape is an all over rounded
body with no defining waist area. The best
styles for you are tops with V necks, tailored jackets, dresses with a high waistline
and pants with side zips. Also, dressing in
a single color with a contrasting scarf is a
great way to slim a slightly heavy figure.
The straight up-and-down silhouette is usually slim and not particularly curvy. Clothes
to shop for include those with strong blocks
of color, high necks, shirt dresses, A-line
