I need help with my wardrobe

Take out all your clothes and try them on.  Work out how they go together and see how many outfits you can make.  Get rid of any items that do not fit, that are worn or out of date.  If you have any clothes that have hardly ever or never been worn, give them to a friend or a charity shop.

Which colours can I wear?

Some colours will make you look healthy, others will cast shadows over your face or drain all the colour.  Concentrate on what looks good next to your face and work from there.  Please note – most people do not look their best in black!

How do I find my own style?

Don’t try to imitate the style of someone you admire.  Identify your good and bad areas and try to minimise problems by accentuating your good points.  If you feel you need to lose weight, draw attention to your face and hair, take extra care with makeup.   Look at your proportions and try and balance them – shorter people look better in blocks of colour than lots of patterns.  Short legs can be lengthened by parallel leg trousers, below knee length skirts and high heels.  Taller frames can take longer jackets, flowing loose shapes and separates in harmonising colours rather than single-colour dresses.

I need to find an outfit for a special occasion?

Be adventurous and experiment with different colours and shapes.  Don’t feel you have to look like someone else or that you need to spend a fortune that you haven’t got.  Rely on your instincts as to what looks good. Tell me more...
