Colour is only part of the challenge in selecting clothes that will make you look your best and help you project a successful personal style. You also need to understand what cuts, fabrics, patterns, textures, and proportions compliment you.

Think about your favourite skirt. Why does it always look good and feel comfortable? Why does a certain dress always bring you compliments? One thing is for sure, your best styles aren’t necessarily the most expensive hanging in your wardrobe; they might even have been bargains that were chosen by chance but have become trusted friends that you turn to again and again.

If you analyse the design, fabric and details of these favourite clothes you’ll start to get an idea of what styles suit you. Similarly, if you have clothes that never look or feel right, so that even if you try them on again after weeks of neglect, you hurriedly remove them — ask yourself, why? Is it the colour, the cut, the cloth or all three?

Interpreting Fashion Dressing for Yourself

Even when it’s clear why your favourite things are winners, you won’t want to be limited just to wearing those fabrics and shapes, and you need not be. With a good basic understanding of what shapes, proportions, length, fabrics and details suit you, you will be able to interpret any new fashion idea. Women of any age, whether 16 or 60 plus, can enjoy fashion and look up-to-date.

Looking current does not mean having to spend a lot of money on new clothes every season. No, if you have an understanding of what looks good on you, all you do each season is to add one or two new pieces to update your favourites in keeping with your lifestyle and budget. It’s easy, the CMB way.

Essential Fashion Dressing Details

To understand what styles suit you, we need to analyse your:

• Body shape: How angular or how curvy are you, and what should be emphasised?
• Proportions: How balanced is your body; where are you long or short?
• Height and Bone Structure: Are you petite, average or grand in scale?

This information will help you to understand why certain skirts, trousers, jackets, and so on really suit you, and guide you when trying new styles to add more variety to your look. Once you learn how to identify and how to compliment your own personal body shape, proportions, height, bone structure and face shape, you’ll be able to interpret new fashion ideas with confidence.

Forget Fashion Dressing Scales

Weight is not a major issue in assessing your body shape. Extra pounds won’t change the fact that you are, for example, either Angular or Curvy. But if you are an Angular body shape you will ’soften’ as you gain weight and will need some easing of your basically crisp designs.

Think of Elizabeth Taylor. In recent years she’s fluctuated from a size 6 to a size 16. But even when she is very slim, she is still curvy, and if she puts on weight she still has an hour-glass figure — albeit more rounded and less defined. The point is that she can never be angular, and therefore is not suited to crisp, severe designs. Her build is essentially soft and curved.

Why was Princess Diana’s wedding dress a disappointment and the Duchess of York’s such a success? Diana was ill-advised to bury her elegant lines under layers of excessive flounce. She looked lost. Fergie, by contrast, has a more rounded figure, and looked terrific in the soft gathers and nipped-in waist.

Your body shape is determined by your bone structure and the distribution of muscle and fat around it. Your shape can be altered through exercise, hormone imbalance, age, and of course, pregnancy and cosmetic surgery. But most of us stay essentially the same basic shape from late teens onwards.

Illusion Fashion Dressing

After years of advising women of every shape and size I can assure you that to look your best you don’t necessarily need to lose weight. However, you do need to come to terms with who you are and accept yourself. Why try to become what the fashion industry projects as an ideal figure, when that is constantly changing anyway? Sometimes they would like us to believe that we should be pin-straight, almost boyish in figure, then the full-figured ‘hourglass’ is de rigueur once again. Life is too short to waste it on wishing we had longer legs, a fuller bust, narrower waist or whatever. The only reason your weight should be a concern is if it affects your health and your ability to enjoy life.

Instead of wishing you were different, concentrate on making the most of what you have and learn how to ‘balance’ your figure by implementing a few clever tricks that we image consultants use every day. We’ve learned to play up our assets, and to minimise our liabilities.
