Shape Up
Dress for your shape and you’ll look your best at all times. Here we help you identify your bodyshape and advise what to wear.
The Hourglass Curvy with a tiny waist. You need to highlight your curves by emphasising your waist.
12
evelinbrandt
• A belted waistline is the easiest way to play up your petite waist. • There’s a reason Kim Kardashian has adopted a crop top and pencil skirt uniform, it’s incredibly flattering on curvy girls. A pencil skirt accentuates
your curves and smoothes out your thighs. • A dress with a V-neck and fitted waist is the best option. • When it comes to trousers belted wide leg styles are the most flattering. evelinbrandt.co.uk
/ Fashion / The Apple A slim lower body with weight around your middle. Minimise your midsection by highlighting your shoulders and legs.
Sarah Pacini.
• A flowy top is the best way to de-emphasise your midsection. • Try low-waisted straight-leg trousers. • A shift dress is the perfect way to conceal any problem areas. • Most women with apple figures have shapely legs, so show them off!
The Banana An athletic body with toned arms, a smaller bust size and legs. Your bust and shoulders are the same width as your hips. Highlight the thinnest part of your waist so your hips and bust appear larger and more proportional. • Shirts with ruffles around the bust make your top half look larger, which makes your waist look smaller and shapelier in comparison. • Try a slightly cropped jacket with a banded bottom. • Tapered trousers will create the illusion of more proportionate hips. evelinbrandt.co.uk
More & More.
Bitte Kai Rand.
The Pear The widest part of your body is around your hips, so you need to elongate and balance your figure by accentuating your top half. • Try an off-the-shoulder fit-and-flare dress. Your bare shoulders will take the attention off your lower body, and the skirt shape is ideal for highlighting the smallest part of your waist and then generously flaring out to conceal wider hips. • Interesting details or prints direct attention to the top half of your body. • An A-line skirt highlights the smallest part of your waist, and flares out over hips. • Embellished or embroidered tops are great for drawing attention upwards. evelinbrandt

/ Fashion / What’s In-Store? As well as suitable pieces from Evelin Brandt, Bitte Kai Rand and Comma, this season we are stocking Mother of the Bride, wedding guest and special event outfits from new Irish brand, Izabella as well as Ella Boo.

Rise to the Occasion
If you are heading to a summer wedding, a day at the races or a formal garden party we can help you look your best. DRESS FOR YOUR SHAPE AND STYLE: Only do a floaty maxi and boxy blazer if you can pull it off, otherwise stick to a stylish shift or figure-flattering fit and flare dress.
Celebrity Style: Look to the likes of Kate Middleton, who is always well-turned out for any society wedding, race day or garden party she attends.
Remember: Don’t stand out for all the wrong reasons; dress to suit the occasion and adhere to the dress code. 14
