Back from Seattle (the sweetest getaway), and back to more styling tips💁🏼♀️. Today I’m sharing tip #8️⃣ in my style series - elevating your everyday style comes from playing with proportions and learning what works best for you.
It isn’t always easy figuring out what proportions look right on you or help you feel your best, and there are many schools of thought for how you arrive at this knowledge. My line of thinking though is that you should dress in what you want to dress in, and learn how to finesse those things to work for you and your body type as opposed to just following the rules of what you “should” or “shouldn’t” wear.💃🏼
Here are a few outfit proportions worth experimenting with:
- Fitted on top + Loose on bottom
- Loose on top + Fitted on bottom
- Oversized on top + Oversized on bottom
- Fitted on top + Fitted on bottom (this doesn’t have to mean skinny, just fitted through the waist and hips)
- Boxy cropped (waist length) on top + Wide-leg high-rise on bottom
- Shorter skirt or shorts on bottom + Fitted first layer on top + Looser second layer on top
- Fitted long skirt on bottom + Looser boxy on top
- Shorter short on bottom + Looser on top
