May welcomes in a new season of style opportunities, opening doors to experiment with the latest fashion offerings. We round up ten styling tips that will change the way you dress.
1. Use Jewellery Strategically
Opt for a long necklace to draw attention down your body or a shorter length to take the attention away from your hips.
2. Wear Tall Pointed-Toe Heels
A thin heel with a tapered toe will elongate your legs, giving them the illusion of a longer length.
3. Don One Colour
Wearing one solid hue from head to toe will give your shape an uninterrupted vertical line. Drawing your eye over your body, rather then directing it to the position where the opposing colours meet.
4. The Cold Shoulder
Baring skin through strategic cut-outs or donning revealing sheer panelling, is one of the seasons most coveted trends. Opt for soft sheens of transparent fabric that are heavily embroidered for a touch of everyday opulence.
5. The Tuck
Gather a small portion of your top and tuck it into you trousers. This will give you the appearance of a flatter stomach.
6. Synch In Your Waist
Try adding a belt over the top of your jacket to draw in your waist.
7. Go Tall
Strips can be used to lengthen your silhouette when worn correctly, shy away from horizontal lines that will broaden your body and select upright varieties.
8. Go Nude
Matching your shoe to your skin will work to extend the appearance of legs and make you look taller and leaner.
9. New Heights
High-waist bottoms are a tricky one to execute, but when done right, have the ability to work wonders. With a plethora of varieties available from palazzo trousers to slim fit jeans, there is something for everyone.
10. Tailoring
The key to a well-dressed woman is the fit. Invest in a good tailor that can customise your wardrobe to your individual body.
