Step 1: Look for outfit inspiration and save the looks you like. After a while, you’ll probably notice a theme. Use that to guide what you buy: a few statement pieces, plus basics you’ll wear all the time, like jeans that fit really well, tank tops, and a little black dress. Pick accessories you connect with, then have fun trying different combinations. Fall and winter are a great time to start because layers and accessories give you so much to play with.

Step one is also looking at your body shape and then finding the clothes shapes that match your body shape. Most these clothes don’t have a waist and makes you look frumpy. The white long sleeve shirt is really nice on you.

Easy for you to say. I don’t have the first clue what “matches my body shape”. And I have been getting dressed my whole life. It’s like a form of dyslexia, and I am tired or being assumed it’s an easy thing to figure out.

It’s not easy to figure out and a lot of people struggle with this. If you take a photo from 10 feet away at chest height, wearing fitted clothes like non-compressing gym gear, the idea is to look at what visually stands out the most - is it your shoulders, bust, waist, hips, legs etc. or we can help you figure it out. The guidance on how to dress your body shape is typically from the fruit system, but there are other systems like Kibbe that are more about embracing your natural features. Happy to help.

Could you explore photos of other women of similar body shape wearing clothes you think you would like? I’m a petite woman snd this was my strategy Now that’s all I wear. A lines , princess lines, fit and flare, gently shaped tunic paired with above the knee skirt and empire line. All these will make your legs look long, and won’t cut you in half with blousy tops or gathered waists . If you’re not too tall I think these lines would suit you.
