KIWI LIVING: WHEN IT'S TIME TO STYLE UP

Fitted can mean cleverly draped or a loose top cinched with a belt, the key is to find a dress, top or stylish pair of pants that frames your figure in a way that makes you feel good.

Tip: Embrace your curves in a tailored dress.

Push the boat out a little and reach for a bold colour. The idea isn’t to pick something bright just for the sake of it but to choose a more vibrant shade that you genuinely love.

Tip: If colour scares you, opt for a print or black and white are a striking combo.

For a showstopping look try accessorising in high contrast colours like earthy green and orange or for something a little more subtle, head for metallics. Gold is a great option this Summer.

Layering with similar colours will result in a look that feels sophisticated and modern. Experiment with brown, white and tan or different shades of grey, both light and dark.

Tip: For a formal option, choose a suit in a softer shade.

Shirts and pants in a slim cut give a great silhouette. To know what feels best for you try on different jean styles in-store, gradually going slimmer until you find one that works for you.

If a slim fit isn’t you thing, a structured blazer is an easy way to dress-up your look.
