Do you want to look put together rather than thrown together? Some people find it really difficult to know what clothes to wear and
for the main part, what style suits them best. It’s important that you feel great in what you wear.
It’s so easy to get stuck in a style rut and just wear the same things day in and day out, like leggings/joggers and oversized baggy sweatshirts and jumpers. All body shapes, sizes and style dilemmas can be catered for, the goal is always to make you look and feel gorgeous!
The trick is to make your outfit work for you and show off your best asset. In collating ensembles for your wardrobe, it’s important to cater for each aspect of your lifestyle to ensure that this is reflected with items for; work, smart/casual wear, loungewear, sportswear/hobbies and evening wear … so you have outfits for every occasion. It’s also good to change things up a bit and mix smart with casual, like putting a tailored jacket with a pair of dark jeans, heels and with a silky top to create a smarter luxury look accessorised with matching clutch bag and some statement jewellery.

Heels make your foot look more elegant and your leg look longer in addition to making you taller, so they are a girl’s best friend (along with diamonds of course!). Even if you can’t rock a high heel, kitten heels can still have a similar effect. Heels and flatforms help with posture and definitely give a sense of presence too!
Dressing to suit your body shape is key, as hiding your shape by wearing baggy clothes over compensates and can often create the opposite of the desired effect. There are so many ways to work with your body shape that are really flattering and it makes such a difference wearing the right size clothes as it completely changes your silhouette and helps you create your own identity.
Wardrobe staples tend to be …
Pair with smart or casual attire.
Straight cut is often a good choice, however, go with whichever fit is best for your body shape

Which is spacious enough to carry all your essentials, while elevating every look in your wardrobe
Shirt, dress or skirt, something that zhuzhes up your look
the classic that can be teamed with a casual or smart top to create the desired look
Choose something that suits but is eye-catching and adds some va va voom
NB: Of course, the black can be swapped out for another colour, lots of people choose, navy, grey or brown as there go colour base.
Be sure to avoid colours that make you look washed out and choose fabrics, prints, styles and colours that instantly bring your look to life … as adding a pop of colour can brighten your look and lift your mood. Styling details visually draw the eye to them for example a rolled-up sleeve or jean hem for a more casual style, while wearing a sash tied belt to the side detracts from a waistline and using a french tuck on a top with jeans, is a more subtle way of drawing emphasis to your waist.
And last, but not least, never forget to accessorise – you can literally make or break an outfit with accessories!
What’s your style combination?
Professional and polished, corporate tailored, vibrant and bold, country casual, cool and edgy, elegant and sophisticated, chic and stylish, girly and pretty and to name but a few … the options are limitless.
Gaps in your wardrobe?
This is what is meant when you go to choose an outfit to discover that you don’t have the right footwear to finish the look, or, the lovely sleeveless dress you are wearing, really needs the option to add a jacket, duster, shrug, pashmina to cover your arms and keep you a little warmer. It’s so important to look the different ways of wearing your clothes together to establish a greater variety of outfits and find those important gaps and create your gap shopping list!
