We
often consider colours and styles when choosing our clothes, but how
often do we really think about the fabric? Sometimes fashion magazines
show us some of the most unlikely fabrics together, even in one
garment, such as leather with satin or cotton with chiffon. However
much you mix it, is up to you, but be sure you know the best fabrics
for your shape and how to wear them.
The general rule is the straighter your body shape, the crisper the
fabric should be. If you are curvy, the best fabrics for you are those
which have some fluidity and draping attributes. The underlying rule is
that smaller people suit lighter weight and flatter fabrics,
whilst larger and taller people will suit fabrics with more texture.
Your scale should determine the weight and texture of your clothes.

Cut
Colour Cloth
If you are smaller
Select fabrics which have minimum texture,
such as fine knits, needlecord and lightweight tweeds as these
won't swamp you.
Chiffons, silk georgette, and taffetas are
good too, although you have to think about your bodyline as well.
For example, chiffons are very fluid and will look fantastic on
your curves, whilst taffetas are crisper and need to be
tailored to fit well.
If you are
larger
Medium to heavy weight tweeds and knits will
suit you best. Curvy ladies, however are better suited to medium to
heavy wool crepe and flannel. If layering is your thing, you are
better off layering fine-knits and thinner fabrics. Be careful not
to let your fabrics add too much.
The jeans
issue
When we think jeans, we think heavy stiff fabrics - and that is
just fine, again, if you have straight body lines. If you are on
the curvy side, you'll need to choose your jeans carefully. A
stone-washed fabric, for example, will be softer and more
pliable. It's easy to find jeans in a variety of
different weights, cuts and textures so there is the right one for
every shape.

Chiffon
A delicate fabric that is a favourite among
the romantics and good for softening a classic look. As chiffon is
very fine, the dainty blouses are generally best for the small to
average scale figures. A stylish dress or blouse in this fabric
looks so feminine this season.
Cotton
Cotton is a timeless staple that appears in
many guises. The cotton t-shirt is a perennial that's great for
layering in cooler months. It's always worth investing in quality
cotton T's as they last longer and keep their shape.
Shirts are wardrobe constants too, again,
invest in good quality pieces with added technical fibres such
as lycra or polyester to help them stand the test of everyday
wear. Make sure it fits properly; there's nothing worse than a
gaping shirt!

 Knits
Wool is a great staple fabric because it is so durable, doesn't
crease, and of course it keeps us warm!
This makes wool a
great work wardrobe investment. This season there are
both chunky and fine knits so be sure to select the right
volume for your body shape.
You will also find
light knits with completely contrasting materials, such as chiffon
or silk for the sleeves or in a bow. These are great for adding a
little glamour to your wardrobe.
Lace
The variety of lacey looks this
season will attract dramatics, classics and romantics, depending on
how you wear it. With the right accessories you can create the
vintage look, neat or demure or pretty and girlish.
Lace requires very
little accessories as it is decorative enough as it is. Be careful
wearing lace in the office, a little goes a long way!
Satin
If you're a bit of a city chic or a romantic you'll love the satin
blouses in smart, neat styles or billowing with bows.
Satin reflects and
can make you look bigger while matt fabrics make you look
smaller.
In the cold of winter satin will
brighten up your outfit by reflecting more light and giving your
face a little lift.

Tweeds
Tweeds and checks are a key theme this season
but choose them carefully. These come in many different weights, so
make sure you pick the right one for you.
Checks
Remember, checks and tartans are just like
stripes which can make you look wider than you really are. Be
careful with the tartan look this season and don't add any
unwanted width to your frame.
Volume
One of hottest trends this season is volume
but take care and keep it to a minimum. If you wear a wide leg
trouser, wear a more fitted top and if you wear one of the new
chunky knits keep your trousers or skirt slim.
If you are petite, do not overwhelm yourself
with volume and if you are larger, be careful not to wear tiny
clothes.
Confused?
With the range of fabrics
available there is something for every taste and figure. If it's a
material minefield out there for you then why not arrange a style
consultation with your colour
me beautiful hk consultant who will help you invest in your
best seasonal pieces.
