- small scale prints and motifs, vertically designed, bc larger prints overpower frame
- make sure armholes dont show bra
- sleeves should sit at the boney part of shoulders
- v-neck and scoop necks elongate
- above the knee hemlines are flattering
- monochrome colour from head to toe elongates the figure
- lift waistline with belt or go for high waisted style to give image of better proportion
- choose narrow silhouettes and wear close to the body in fabrics with a soft drape, as stiff fabrics will give you a boxy (lolboxxy) line.
- shoes with a point that elongate the figure look flattering
general rules widely given for creating a capsule wardrobe:
- Choose a colour scheme.
- This would typically involve choosing one or two base colours that go with everything, such as black, white, brown, grey, or navy.
- Items such as trousers, handbags or coats would be bought in shades of these colours, so that they can be put with anything else in the wardrobe.
- After choosing the base colours, choose one or two accent colours, which are brighter than the base colours, and co-ordinate with each other. These would typically be used for items such as tops, dresses, or accessories;
- once a colour scheme is established, all the items in a wardrobe should be interchangeable, as the colour of the pieces always complement each other.
- Consider your body shape.
- Some cuts of clothing are more flattering than others; for instance, stylists often advise that women with wider hips wear cap sleeves, as they make the shoulders appear wider, and more proportionate to the hips.
- If the items of clothing chosen are flattering, the wearer is more likely to want to keep them in their wardrobe.
- Consider your complexion.
- As with cuts of clothing, some colours are more flattering than others, to both skin tone and body shape.
- If the colours are well-chosen, then the items are more likely to remain in favour.
- Choose classic shapes and patterns.
- While some cuts and patterns of clothing go in and out of fashion, others are considered 'classic' because they do not date.
- It is wise to choose classic pieces for a capsule wardrobe, as the wearer intends to keep them for a number of years.
- Choose high-quality fabrics.
- As the idea of a capsule wardrobe is to own a few items of clothing that can be worn different ways, individual pieces get much wear. Therefore, it is a good idea to choose clothing that is well made and continues to look good despite wear.
