Make sure your clothing actually fits you correctly.
“Now, this applies to everyone no matter what shape, size or smile you have. If you are wearing something that is just too big, hugs in the wrong place or is just too small it will most certainly not look good. So make busy with your local tailor and get your clothing taken in or shortened to suit your shape.”

Find something you love and accentuate it.
“This is a pretty classic rule when I go shopping or when I style my clients. Find your favourite body part (we all have them) and accentuate it. For me it would be my waist. My waist is my smallest part, so I wear a whole heap of high-waisted skirts, pants or dresses cinched in and showing it off ’cause it’s so damn fly (yes, I can admit that). If you love your long legs, show them off by wearing some fab statement pants or tailored shorts.”
