The style basics How to wear colours

Your bra Your knickers

Making the most of accessories Choosing the right pair of shoes

• Recognise your assets and choose clothes which flatter this part of your body.
• Show off your breasts OR your bum, never both in one outfit.
• If you have love handles or a round tummy, wear textured fabrics and wrap-around tops.
• If you have a short or wide neck, wear tops that are open at the neck, rather than high or round ones, to lengthen and slim your neck.
• If your clothes are too tight, you'll look fatter not thinner; straining fabric is a style no-no.

• Only wear shiny fabrics and bright colours on areas that you are sure can stand up to being in the limelight.
• If you have sallow skin, dark circles or bags, don't wear black near your face, it only draws attention to it.
• Combining black with bright colours makes the black look boring and the colours look cheap.
• If you're petite or of larger build, avoid a dramatic contrast between top and bottom as this will cut you in half.

• Always make sure your bra is lighter or the same colour as the clothes you're wearing.
• If you have big breasts - it's essential to wear a bra that fits you properly; a good bra will lift the boobs and give definition to the waist.
• Balcony bras look great on girls with large chests.
• Avoid thin back straps unless you are totally fatless or you will end up with unsightly back bulges under your clothes.
• If you have small breasts - spaghetti straps will offer enough support. it's all right to show the straps off under spaghetti strapped tops and dresses, as long as the bra is pretty.
• If you want to create cleavage, wear 'chicken fillets'.
• Small breasts look good in bras with 'chicken fillet padding' and a draw-string front.

• Wear flesh-coloured underwear under white, light or see-through clothes.
• If a skirt is see-through but not figure-hugging, opt for big, flesh-coloured knickers rather than a G-string.
• If you have obvious cellulite on your bum, avoid G-strings at all costs when wearing thin fabrics.

• If you've got a large chest and you're embarrassed to show off too much flesh in a v-necked top, wear a large necklace to cover the area.
• Never wear a scarf or necklace over the top of a roll-neck jumper.
• Don't wear long pendants that nestle in your cleavage if you have big boobs.
• If you have a double chin or your face is chubby, opt for longer earrings.
• If you have a short neck, avoid large, choker-style necklaces.
• Chunky costume jewellery is a stylish way to add colour and individuality to your outfit.

• If you have thick ankles, don't wear delicate, strappy heels, ballerina-style shoes or ankle straps which cut across the ankle.
• If you have skinny legs, avoid thin, teetering heels or they'll look like they're going to snap under the weight of your body.
• If you are pear-shaped, avoid dainty kitten heels.
• Trousers and jeans should fall to the bottom of the heel.
• Black shoes look best with darker colours - don't wear black shoes with light-coloured clothing unless they are extremely dainty.
• Don't wear black shoes with bright colours as they make your outfit look cheap.
