We all want to squeeze into those pieces of clothing that fit us so well a few years ago but as we get older our body size changes so don’t feel discouraged if something doesn’t appear to fit you anymore. By wearing clothes that are too small may highlight areas you wish to hide and won’t fit your shape properly.
Buying clothing that fits you will make you feel more comfortable but it will give your body a better shape. One thing to remember is that the same size of clothing will fit differently from different brands, so the next time you’re searching for a new pair of jeans, try on a few in different shops to see which one you feel most comfortable in.
The same principles go for buying clothes that are too big. Having style is not all about being a small size so love your shape and purchase clothes that fit you and suit your body. If you’re used to buying clothes that are too big for you, perhaps take a friend along shopping with you, they can advise on style tips and it will also make the experience of shopping more enjoyable.
You don’t have to have accessories hanging off every part of your body. There is no need to have necklaces, earring, handbags and a belt – it is too much. It will all detract from the way you look so keep things simple. Getting the balance right is important. Accessories are a great way to turn an outfit into something glamorous especially on a night out for example, but even then, wear 2-3 key pieces that all complement each other so not to draw away from your outfit.
Try clothes on! If you’ve seen something on a hanger and not sure if it would suit you, try it on. You may be surprised that a lot of clothes look very different when worn. This also applies to buying clothes you really love the look of but buy on a whim. The last thing you want is to be disappointed when you get home.

Are you the type who plays it safe? Do you only choose to have one main colour? If so, you need to brighten your wardrobe up a little and think about adding other colours. An injection of colour can make you look good and feel good but don’t make the change quickly, add colour here and there until you are completely comfortable with it.
When it comes to colour, the majority of us know that black makes things appear smaller and white makes things appear bigger, taking this information and mixing and matching shades and tones close to your desirable colour, you can create a wonderful, colourful wardrobe that will make you feel great. Also don’t stick to block colours, experiment with patterns and images to give you plenty of options.
You spend a lot of money on your clothes so why not ensure that you look after them. To do this, check the labels and following the cleaning and care instructions, this will allow your clothes to continue to look good for as long as possible.
