5 STYLE TIPS EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW – Series 1

3 minutes read

This is the first of a two-part series.

Dear Queen, do you know how to wear clothes?

Unfortunately, having fine clothes does not mean you’re stylish (yeesh). You have to know your body and what makes you look good. So ladies, here are 5 style tips that’d turn people’s heads:

  1. Organize and edit your closet: Closet editing is simply taking out unnecessary things from your closet. And this is harder than it sounds because we realize that we are emotionally attached to our clothes. (for some reason) Hence the reason we see that we have lots of clothes but nothing to wear. You can edit your closet using the following steps:
  • i. Group your clothes based on their function: examples include work clothes, casual clothes, and clothes for a special occasion.
  • ii. Group your clothes based on how frequently you wear them: for clothes you haven’t worn in a year or two, you should take them out of your wardrobe.
  • iii. Group your clothes based on their quality: this helps you take out clothes that don’t fit anymore and those beyond repair.
  • iv. Color code your clothes.

With this, you will have a clear idea of what you have and what you need.

2. Invest in styles that work for your shape: style is less of wearing trendy clothes and more of wearing what flatters you. The first step to doing this is to find what suits your body shape. Women generally belong to one of the following body shapes:

  • The hourglass shape: I think everyone has an idea of what this is. (The famous figure 8) Women in this category have a well-defined body shape with balanced hips and shoulders. (E.g. Beyonce). The clothes that best suit them are those that outline their waistline. This, combined with A-line dresses and clothes with V-line/ Sweetheart necklines. It is best for women in this group to stay away from oversized clothes.
  • Pear/Triangle shape: women in this group have a thinner upper body and a wider lower half i.e., larger hips and thighs. Bright colored clothes with sweetheart and v necklines, and crop tops, would make these women look great.
  • The inverted triangle: women belonging to this category have broader shoulders, with less defined waists. Loose pants, pencil cut skirts, and A-line tops are the best fit for them.
  • Rectangle body shape: this is in women with an athletic build. Their waistline isn’t overly defined, and their shoulder lines and hips are straight. They should wear sleeveless/strapless tops, blazers, A-line skirts, among others. People in this group always look great in trousers, and they can have fun with almost any kind; pleated, flaired, or straight.
  • Apple Body Shape: Women with this body shape have a heavier upper body i.e., broad shoulders and big bust lines. Monochrome or dark colors would work best for them. Also, printed dresses, empire cuts, and palazzos should be a must-have for these women.
