Get the right fit and balance in your clothes

You will feel happier and more confident in a well-balanced mix of clothes that fit you properly.

If possible, try everything on before you buy it
Find a fit and style that makes you feel comfortable and confident
Well-fitting underwear will make your clothes fit better
Don’t get too worried about rigid rules on ‘dressing for your body shape’
Experiment with different styles and shapes – you may see a different person than you expected staring back at you in the mirror
Clothes sizes vary widely across different manufacturers and different styles. Wear the size that fits you properly and cut out the size label if it bothers you.

Balance different elements in your outfit for a relaxed and confident image
Try mixing something fitted and tight with something longer and looser, or something very feminine with something a bit more edgy or masculine
If you like short skirts, try them with opaque tights and trainers or boots
Layering different clothes can also give a different, modern look
Experiment, look at fashion images, keep your eyes and mind open.
