Understanding your body shape means you can choose clothing cuts which are most flattering for you.

The biggest styling myth I see with clients is that you should swamp the area you don’t like and hide behind baggy clothes.

The key to flattering your body shape is BALANCE.

If your shoulder line is wider than your hip measurement, you want to visually build the hip to make it look wider. Yes, wider.

If your hip measurement is wider than your shoulder measurement, you want to visually build the shoulderline.

If your upper body is shorter than the lower body and vice versa, then aim to visually elongate it.

Body Shape Guidelines:

-Skim, don’t swamp -Create silhouette -Balance the body
