Body Shape

We believe that every body is beautiful.

We know that there are times in our lives where we lose confidence in our appearance, whether it be changes to our body shape, pregnancy, menopause or illness.

Understanding your body shape and knowing the cuts and styles to compliment it, is the key to looking and feeling great.

When you feel good, you exude confidence and we can help you find your style and become a more confident dresser.

Our brands typically size from UK 6-18 although Joseph Ribkoff sizes up to a UK26 and can be ordered in for you. 

Typically, there are five body shapes that most women can identify themselves with:

Hourglass

An hourglass figure typically describes a woman with shoulders and hips that are the same width apart and a small waist. 

The key to styling an hourglass frame is to follow the natural silhouette and draw attention to the waist with belts, fitted garments and neutral colours.

Avoid straight cut trousers, high waisted jeans and oversized items. Brands to look out for which will look great on you are Onjenu, Stardust, Fabienne Chapot and Berenice.

 

Inverted Triangle

Women with an inverted triangle shape tend to have broad shoulders and often, a flat bottom with gorgeous long legs.

V neck tops are great for inverted triangle shapes as they help break up your shoulder line and draw attention down your body.

Try wearing girlfriend or boyfriend fit jeans or go for a flared style to accentuate your slim hips and neat bottom!

 

Pear

Pear shaped women typically have hips that are wider than their shoulders and bust. 

Fabienne Chapot have a fab range of blouses with detail on the sleeve to even out your silhouette. Try Mos Mosh for their high rise jeans and play around with some of the new shapes of jean that are around this season.

 

Rectangle

Women with a rectangular body shape tend to have an athletic body shape.

Try Poppy Field the Label for their beautiful dresses this Summer. Mos Mosh have some great blazers to suit your shape whilst Mos Mosh jeans are always a winner. Try a wide leg with a fitted Troy tee in a vibrant colour.

Apple

An apple shaped woman usually has broad shoulders, narrow hips and a wider midriff.

You can accentuate your slim hips with a boot cut jean and team it with a blouse. Fabienne Chapot and Mos Mosh have beautiful shirts and tops that look great with denim.
