THE KEY TO A POLISHED WINTER ENSEMBLE? NAILING YOUR PROPORTION­S

-

EVER PUT ON AN OUTFIT and felt it’s not quite right – like there’s a problem you can’t quite put your finger on but is immediatel­y obvious? It’s probably been a question of proportion­s – a finicky skill that can stump even seasoned fashion editors. This winter, thanks to Hedi Slimane at Celine, we’re in a bourgeois-inspired state of mind, which means we’re coveting long skirts, high boots and mannish blazers. Avoid looking overwhelme­d by mixing heavy and light fabrics, cinching at the waist and showing tactful flashes of skin.
