Wardrobe\u00a0stylists have revealed that the trick for looking incredible is knowing your silhouette and choosing the pieces that are proportionate for your body type. You could be adding width and losing height to your proportion just by dressing your body in the wrong pieces.<\/p>\n

Fashion student at the London College of Contemporary Arts, Paloma Laudat, 21 said: \u201cStudying fashion teaches you that the best clothes are not always the ones that are trending. The right pieces in fashion are the ones that are designed for the model and are able to bring out the model\u2019s assets and conceal her flaws.”<\/p>\n

Most of us are familiar with the several British make-up shows that take various members of the public and transform them into the \u201cbetter\u201d and more fashionable versions of themselves. In the past we\u2019ve seen shows like Gok Wan\u2019s How to Look Good Naked<\/em> and Snog Marry Avoid?<\/em> Now, Channel 5 has produced the show even more advanced show, 100% Hotter<\/em>, which sees members of the public going through a makeup, hair and fashion transformation. The candidates are placed in front of an electronic \u201cmagic mirror\u201d that outlines their silhouette and displays virtual outfits without the candidate having to physically try on clothes.<\/p>\n

Although we can\u2019t all own a magic mirror, this part of the show is great for demonstrating to us how important it is to understand our silhouette before dressing it.<\/p>\n

If you haven\u2019t got a magic mirror or a personal stylist, don\u2019t worry. In Fashionality<\/em>,\u00a0Gemma Ismail and the Voice of London fashion team have\u00a0handpicked the right styles and cuts for your wardrobe based on your body type. We promise that they\u2019ll look better on you than on a hanger!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
