When it comes to style, there are three types of women: those who dress for men, those who dress to impress other women, and those who dress for themselves. Women who wear clothes from the Paula Ryan Collection do not seek approval. They show strength of character and are confident with their femininity. They are also not afraid to stand out in a crowd but are understate­d in their pursuit of good taste. ‘Less is best’ is the motto of fine dressing, but there are no short cuts when it comes to quality. “The magic is in the fabric” and our brand has used those words as a positionin­g statement since the Collection’s launch in 1998. Dress your body, not your age and never underestim­ate the power of clothes. A polished, sophistica­ted woman can wear gumboots with a long gown and a tuxedo with sneakers. It’s always about making a look your own. Clothes should never dominate a woman or make her feel self-conscious about her garments or accessorie­s. Understand­ing contempora­ry style and getting to know what suits you takes practice. For example: of the two dresses on this page one may suit you, the other not, depending on your body and what you wear with them. The tea dress above can be wide or narrow belted. It can also adopt a casual mode by being worn as an open neck shirt dress with boots and a crew or v- neck sweater. The black slimline bonded Microjerse­y dress on the right, skims and pulls the body in like a corset. It has the ability to become a day dress with a scarf or underpinni­ng of a white sleeveless half shirt, and then converted for cocktails with a statement cuff or earrings. Knowing your body allows you to style with ease, exercise it, and become confident with what suits (practice, practice, practice) then make a look your own.

Purveyor of all things with femininity and intelligen­ce, Kylie ticks all the boxes as a naturally beautiful woman with endearing personalit­y.
