Dismiss the Rules of Body Type
December 01, 2009 | 36th Edition

Ladies, we are not fruit, and we are too uniquely intricate to be defined by simple geometric shapes. So why don these ill-suited titles and reside in a little fashion box much too minute to encapsulate the wonder that is woman. It’s time to dismiss those rumored “rules” and expand your fashion horizon! Embrace your favorite trends, and make them work for you. Rock your booty in skinny jeans, and flaunt your curves, don’t hide them. You know your body best, and you know what you feel good in. You’re one of a kind, and you’re fabulous! So don’t let standard style stipulations put boundaries on your wardrobe wonderland!



How to Wear: What You Never Thought You Could!
December 01, 2009 | 36th Edition

Skinny jeans can be scary - am I too hippy, too old, too short, too conservative? You get the idea; you can fill in your own blank. The truth is, this chic silhouette looks hot on every body. So fight the phobia and rock this style in your own personal and confident way … because trust us, this trend is here to stay!



Flatter Yourself
December 01, 2009 | 36th Edition

Sure, we all have figure challenges that we’d like to hide, but that doesn’t mean anything is off limits for our particular shape. From busty to petite, and even moms-to-be, here are some outfit ideas to highlight your best features. But remember, this list is by no means complete, and fashion is all about embracing your own personal style. A good rule of thumb: wear what you feel good in!

bellshaped
Bell Shaped: Accentuate your upper body with a printed blouse and elongating silhouettes like the Eclipse Vest. Lengthen and slim your lower body with striped trousers or a long, dark skirt.

petite

Petite: Solid color silhouettes create the illusion of a longer body, and your stunning stems will shine in a dress or skirt hem just above the knee. Ankle length pants are perfect for petites, and a slim fit highlights your cute little shape. Look for vertical lines and princess seaming to elongate your torso and enhance your shape.

fullfigure

Full Figure: Dark brown is the new black for areas you want to downplay. Use prints and color to draw attention to your favorite features, and create shape with silhouettes like the Cinch It Vest or a wrap dress. Special details are sure to garner compliments galore!

Mom-to-Be: In this special season of life, clothing is all about comfort. But as your body changes, you still want to feel like your stylish self. Find a few key pieces with room to grow, and layer on sweaters and button downs that are meant to be a bit roomier. Leggings are a dream - cute and comfortable, both before and after your happy new addition.

busty

Busty: A moderate v-neck elongates your neck, creating lovely lines that look sexy, not scandalous. Flared pants create a balanced, hourglass silhouette. A v-neck sweater over a button-down blouse allows for that crisp tailored look without being sloppy or oversized.
