~Fashion Tips 2~

Straight up and down need not be a problem; what you need is a little definition around the waist area (OUR Wobbly Bits), so lets set you on the road to womanly curves...

  • Avoid shapeless dresses. Opt instead for fitted clothes.
  • Go for simple necklines that taper in beneath the bust to create a waistline.
  • Hipster trousers are great for creating a waistline.

Wobbly bellies are a common trait of the 'apple' body shape and a frequent source of frustration to the not-so-proud owner. Make sure you go shopping armed with our tummy-concealing tips.

  • Flat-fronted trousers and skirts are really flattering for a larger tummy. Try to avoid pleats and front zips - side and back zips are a much more flattering option.
  • Low-waisted trousers make the stomach look smaller.
  • Don't wear anything that's gathered at the waist.
  • Wear soft, forgiving fabrics that don't cling to the tummy.
  • Wrap-around tops create folds across the tummy that detract from any other rippling in that area.
  • Avoid belted jackets and coats - the belt will ride up and give the impression that you're pregnant.

Abide by the following rules (Not Long enough legs) when you hit the high street and we'll make a leggy, supermodel of you yet.

  • Avoid three-quarter length trousers because they make legs look shorter. Trousers should be full length, falling to the bottom of the heel
  • Don't wear trousers with turn-ups or wide legs, instead opt for narrow, straight legs or bootcut trousers
  • Skirts and trousers with high waistbands make legs look longer too.
  • Create the illusion of height by wearing a top and bottom of the same colour, drawing the eye up and down.
  • Longer length jackets worn undone also give the illusion of height.
  • Avoid chunky, ribbed tops that widen rather than lengthen the body.
  • Wear heels!!!!
