Essential Wardrobe: Trousers


Trousers: the white collar, upper level closet executives. Unlike their blithe, blue collar denim brothers, these wardrobe administrators have crisp efficiency running their entire length. Dress them up, dress them down, hem for heels, hem for flats, these proficient industrialists are a fashionably profitable investment.

Upper Figure Options
While your stems may look lovely in skinny cuts, the entire ensemble appears a bit rickety. Stabilize your ripe bounty with a boot cut or wide leg and fancy the hip and thigh area to your figure's betterment.















Middle Figure Options: A mid rise with generous stretch in the back and a stingy stretch in the front will minimize and secure your soft, delicious center.
















Lower Figure Options: While dark colors can aid minimization, fit is the trump. Check your trousers' resumé to ensure a mid to low rise, a boot or wide leg, a generously cut thigh and seat, and a waist that curves slightly in.















Hourglass Options: Wanted: Trousers trained to follow complex. Some of the most competent candidates offer a flat front or extended tab closure and a flared leg to balance the lines of your undulating line.

















Linear Options: You alone can conscionably hire capris and skinny pants for your closet. The taper and cut on both styles will make your hips look full and curvy, dramatizing the illusion of a angled waist.

Essential Wardrobe: Day Dress


Relaxed elegance in a one piece ensemble. Day dresses like flea markets and picnics. After running errands, you can find them stopping for afternoon gelato.

Upper Figure Options
Let your anterior curves speak without distraction. Then draw the eye down to posterior curves with a bright hue or playful embellishment.

















Middle Figure Options: Fit the shoulders and avoid a clingy waist. A well fitted bust will keep shift dresses sharp but never boxy.
















Lower Figure Options: Scoop necklines draw attention back to your smile while a-line and full skirts give your lower body the space it needs.

















Hourglass Options: Dresses are your body shape's calling. With a matching top and bottom size all you need to search for is a fitted waist.

















Linear Options: Soft lines and romantic ruffles show off your lines while adding some new curves.

Essential Wardrobe: The Classic White Blouse

The classic white blouse likes everyone and everyone likes the classic white blouse. Denim likes it, trousers like it, skirts like it, jumpers like it. If one garment of clothing were going to act as student body president, it would be the classic white blouse. Below are some candidates for your empire.

Upper Figure Options
Closet empires are not equal opportunity employers, and the Upper Figure need not employ white blouses with little gaping buttons for the benefit of tradition. Keep it clean with an open neckline to break up the line of the bosom. Fit the girls first and tailor the rest. Apply belting and tucking assistants as appropriate to offer appropriate shape and style.
























Middle Figure Options: The keywords are cascade and camouflage. Show off your arms, your lovely neck, but keep the soft lines of your figure under banded tops and tunic style cuts with a finished hem that will not be tucked in.

























Lower Figure Options: A defined waist with a skirted peplum to cascade over the hips, never fails a southern endowed lady.


























Hourglass Options: Tie it, belt it, band it: whatever you need to do to show off the center of your torso.

























Linear Options: Keep the neckline high and embellish to allude to volume and curves.


























If you have warm undertones in your complexion consider wearing an ivory or honey beige as opposed to a cool white.

Essential Fashion Basics


I heart fancy: imaginative prints, elaborate embellishments, delicate adornments. And there is a time and place for pantsies of fancy, but before we move into niche specialists, we must employ the basics. One must lay their closet foundation before they can start adding crown molding, dormers, and cupolas.

Each of these items should be fastidiously selected. For these garments are your clothing managers. They serve a
multifarious role and keep all your closet underlings in line. As you interview, ask about their ability to highlight your best assets, express your signature style, and flatter you mercilessly.

These week we will be interviewing some of the top positions in your closet empire. On tomorrow's agenda: the classic white shirt.
