Understanding Your Body & Style Foundation
Our body shape is determined by our bone structure.
No matter how much weight you lose or gain, your body structure remains the same.
Because of this, every garment you choose must relate to your natural proportions—not trends.

Necklines & Shoulder Lines
Invest in lightweight, fluid fabrics that create softness and movement. For fitted tops, choose styles with some stretch so they comfortably follow your shape while maintaining a smooth and balanced silhouette.

Sleeves
Keep your sleeves fitted whenever possible to maintain clean and balanced proportions. If you’re wearing a looser fit, I would recommend pulling or rolling the sleeves up slightly to create more structure and definition.

SILHOUETTES - INSIDE LINES
Invest in light to medium-weight fluid fabrics with some stretch that softly follow the body and open into an A-line shape from the waist down. Choose hip-length tops and jackets, and if wearing cropped styles, pair them with wider or A-line bottoms and a soft tuck for a more balanced silhouette. Monochromatic looks can also help create elongation and harmony.
