Chic FOR YOUR SHAPE

Flattering fashion to help you look and feel great

-

Bardot top

This frilly off-theshoulde­r top is a no-brainer for pear shapes, helping to balance proportion­s by broadening your top half. Tuck into a pair of mom jeans for a retro look that shows off your waist.

Skater dress

An ideal shape for those who carry weight on their bottom half. Nipped in at the waist and flaring out into the skirt, you’ll turn to the fit-and-flare style time and time again. This chic monochrome palette will go with everything, too.

Double denim

Much like your favourite jeans, a denim skirt deserves a spot in your wardrobe rotation. Sitting high on the waist, this pencil-style hugs your curves and features a split at the back for easy movement. When wearing double denim, mix washes and team with a lighter shirt.

Sleek shoes

Swap your classic black courts for these white slingbacks for a fresh update that’ll have you spring-ready. The V-shape design and pointed toe will give the illusion of longer legs – perfect for petites.

Timeless knit

Collared sweaters are on-trend and the V-neckline is super flattering on all busts. A style staple, every wardrobe needs a Breton knit and, yes, you can wear horizontal stripes! Just look for fine lines rather than wide stripes for a slimming effect.

Belted boilersuit

Make everyday dressing a breeze with this all-inone. The built-in belt and wide-leg cut makes for a streamline­d silhouette, cinching you in at the waist and floating over thighs. Undo some of the buttons and wear a coloured top underneath if you want to break up the block denim.

Striped blouse

The fine vertical stripes lengthen your torso and the ruffle detailing adds a feminine flair that will add volume to smaller busts. Whether you wear with jeans or a knitted skirt, it’s an easy option for daytime dressing.

Floral frock

If you struggle to find the right length of dress, then online hotspot Boohoo has you covered as it caters for tall and petite frames, too. This floaty dress from its Tall range has fluted sleeves and a dipped hemline that is longer at the back.

Statement sleeves

Not only will voluminous sleeves give your look a high-fashion edge but they are incredibly flattering, too. The oversized design accentuate­s the shoulders, making the waist appear smaller. Keep your bottom half to a slim fit to balance it out.

Printed skirt

If you want to keep the attention firmly on your bottom half, then this statement skirt is the one for you. It has a floaty shape that skims over your figure. Tuck in a plain tee or a ribbed knit to add structure, and wear with knee-high boots to streamline your silhouette.

Midi dress

A midi dress excels in versatilit­y and longevity and you can never have enough. Considered details make this a winner, from the flouncy sleeves to the elasticate­d waistband. Team with anything from trainers to heels.

Square neckline

A ‘V’ isn’t the only neckline that flatters a bust. Square necklines have risen up the fashion ranks and they look just as good. Tap into the trend with this dress that shows off the décolletag­e without revealing too much.

Wide-leg jeans

This season is all about swapping your skinnies for a wider silhouette and, once you make that switch, you’ll never look back. These sit high on the waist, making your legs look endless, and skim over thighs. The fabric is stretchy, too, for the perfect bum-lift.

Wrap blouse

When in doubt, go for a wrap blouse for the ultimate figure-flattering fit. This one highlights your curves and shows off your waist in one stylish swoop. Leopard print ensures it will be a classic wardrobe piece.

Spring jacket

Not only is purple the colour of the season but this lilac beauty will show off your shape, too. The belted design gives more definition at the waist while the faux leather fabric gives a tougher edge. Wear with your favourite jeans and tee.

Wide-fit sandals

Comfort and style? We’re sold! This pair has a wide fit and a block heel, making them easy to wear all day long. Perfect if you’re heading off to a wedding, the shimmery shade is made for the dance floor, and the backless design makes them easy to slip on and off.
