… or Does It ?
Have you seen a pair of jeans that will fit a Size 6 AND a Size 16 ?
NO …
It is the same with styling consultations. There is not a “One Size Fits All” recipe for looking great. This is why a personal styling session is so important. EACH individual person is so unique. I am using jeans as an example because these days walking into a jeans shop to buy a pair of jeans means more than knowing your correct size. As well as Size there is Type of jean – Rise, Cut and Colour (or type of Wash) – Here is some information for you about choosing jeans:
Rise
The rise is measured from the middle of the crotch seam to the top of the waistband and can create your perceived waistline

- High Rise – Sitting just above the navel (Best for Pear or “A” shaped women) For petite builds this fit also accentuates the waits and elongates the legs, good for women with bigger hips
- Mid Rise – Sitting just below the navel (Good for women with long legs) also good for women with bigger hips

- Flared Jeans – Flattering on round or “O” shapes (however they will shorten your legs)
- Straight Leg Jeans – Look good on most body shapes; and then there are the …
- Boyfriend Jeans – usually quite loose and look best on “boyish” or straight figures or round “O” shape figures
Wash
Dark Denim – Will look good on everyone, especially women with thick thighs and this is the denim (sometimes called the “Rinse”) which makes the legs look longest also
Stone wash, Distressed and Vintage Washes can add bulk visually to heavier women and there is even “whiskering” detail on jeans which can draw attention to areas of the body such as thighs. Then there is where the pockets are placed, detail or lack of detail, topstiching colour … many, many variables which is why …
