May 8, 2023

Ever found yourself wondering just what you ought to wear?

Whether it’s a brunch, a quick errand, or even a day at the office, finding the right outfit can feel like a task if you aren’t sure about what your style is.

After all, you want to find clothes you are confident in.

So, let’s make finding the right outfit for every occasion a breeze - here’s a comprehensive style guide for every size that will have you looking stunning, every time.

To begin with, have you found your style yet? Timeless fashion is your aim, regardless of trends. And if you haven’t figured out your personal style, we’ve got you.

Understand Your Personal Style

One of the best ways to find what resonates with you is to experiment.

Fortunately, there’s no dearth of options. Unfortunately, this can get quite overwhelming. So, before you start mixing and matching different outfits together, here’s what you need to keep in mind:

Understand your body type:
Have you ever noticed people looking absolutely elegant, no matter what they wear? The first step to be that person is to understand your body shape. After all, no matter how you look, if you can only understand what your body type is, you’ll be able to better identify which outfit styles would fit you best!
Identify your aesthetic:
What kind of outfits do you love most? Which outfits do you feel most comfortable in and help you shape your curves.
Understand your colors:
It isn’t just about which colors you love best, but what suits you the most. It’s tempting to select black, every single time. Black is slimming, and it goes with just about everything, so do lighter tones. Having solid neutrals and pastel toned outfits can also add length and give a more elegant flair, making it an easy day style!
Use complementary colors:
The color wheel can help! When you’re trying to pair different pieces together to create your outfit, look for complementary colors, this will create a more balanced and harmonious look.
Accessorize well:
You can take any outfit to the next level with the right accessories. This goes back to identifying your aesthetic again, after all, while statement necklaces might go with some outfits, if that’s simply not your style, it’s best to skip it. Look for accessories that resonate with you - and use them wisely.

Styling Tips for Every Size

You’re clear on your aesthetic, now let’s set out some guidelines for your body type.

Fashion is about feeling beautiful and confident in what you’re wearing, instead of hopping on the next trend (though, that’s perfectly fine too!)

And the best way to do this is by keeping a few simple guidelines (not rules) in mind:

Apple Body Type:
When you have a larger bust and smaller hip, look for clothes that are fitted at the waist. Use A-line outfits so as you accentuate your waist and also create a more balanced visual and avoid overly fitted or loose outfits.
Hourglass Body Type:
Literally what the name suggests, the hourglass body type boasts a smaller waist with more balanced proportions. When picking out an outfit, look for clothes that are slightly fitted to give a more elegant flair.
Pear Body Type:
This body type has a smaller bust with wider hips. The name of the game is balance. So, look for styles that have more volume at the top and more fitted outfit to create a visual balance.
Rectangular Body Type:
Rectangular body types have numerous styling options, if you know what you’re looking for. To create a curvier appearance, look for clothes that are more fitted at the waist.
Inverted Triangle Body Type:
If, in addition to a larger bust, you also have wider shoulders and narrower hips. To create more balance, you need to find an outfit that balance your proportions. So, opt for A-line skirts, flared bottoms, fit and flare dresses to add volume!
