SUITING YOUR BODY


Depending on the cut, a suit can be extremely flattering - or not. Every cut is different, and it is important to pay attention to those nuances when shopping for one. Find the right look for your shape with this guide: 

BUSTY
Wear a V-neck shirt or undo a few buttons on your blouse. Flashing some décolletage prevents an overly boxy effect.



BOYISH FIGURE OR PETITE
Choose suits with silhouette - too much volume will overwhelm your frame.


  



TALL
Wide-leg trousers are balanced on tall girls. Cropped pants should hit just about 2 inches above the ankle - the length should look intentional, not like you outgrew them.




CURVY HIPS
A well-cut, body-hugging jacket that ends at the waist highlights your slimmer top half. Flared pants down play wide hips.




FULLER FIGURE
Go for a sleek, streamlined suit. Your jacket should be tailored and trim and hit at the hips. Straight cut pants that fall to the bottom of your heel look best.




PREGNANT
A chic blazer is indispensable as part of your maternity wardrobe. The styling options are endless - throw on over jeans & tees, add a poised edge to dresses, or button up over your office ensemble.

You can have a streamlined silhouette even with a changing belly shape. Go for a single-button blazer that closes just under the bust.

VERSATILITY IS KEY

Regardless of the numerous fashion trends in the world that most shoppers strive to keep up with, it is important to learn the value of a versatile wardrobe. No matter how tempting it is to buy the latest trend items, it is much more beneficial to build a versatile wardrobe.

I encourage shopping consciously by investing in fashionable and functional pieces. You should be able to create multiple outfits with fewer clothes. 

"Items that you can repeatedly wear and style into different outfits are what will keep you going and let you build your own iconic style."
At Dara Chic Studio (IG: @darachic.studio), I designed a sheer coat with delicate blossom prints that is versatile in not one, but three ways:

Worn as kimono:
       

Worn as dress 


Worn as pool/beach loungewear:

                                         

Wade into the sheer fashion by incorporating this versatile coat into your wardrobe rotation.
