The Perfect Fit....for every shape

    Flare has found wearable runway looks for every shape. You don't need to wander wondering what clothes to wear. Check this out...

    For Petite:

    Fashion finds
    1. Silk top, $90, Banana Republic.
    2. Leather belt, $315, Suzi Roher.
    3. Cotton/polyester-blend dress, $128, Kensie, The Bay.
    4. Pleather bag, $85, High Fashion Handbags.
    5. Sequined skirt, $165, Banana Republic.
    6. Nylon/spandex leggings, $175, Norma Kamali for Everlast, The Bay.
    7. Leather shoes, $580, Davis by Ruthie Davis.

    Style tips:
    ● Voluminous shapes can overwhelm petite frames. Cinching the waist controls the volume.
    ● Hemlines should be long or mini—anything between shortens the leg.
    ● A monochromatic head-to-toe look creates the illusion of a taller body.
    ● Sharply tailored pieces and short dresses are no-fail basics..

    For Tall and Lean:

    Fashion Finds
    1. Acrylic/wool-blend coat, $199, Mango.
    2. Glass brooch, $380, Isaac Manevitz for Ben-Amun.

    6. Wool/lycra-blend skirt, $240, Rebecca Taylor.
    7. Stretch-Georgette dress, $525, Castle Starr.

    Style tips:
    ● Don’t try to hide your height. Stand tall.
    ● Experiment with different lengths. Short doesn’t always mean better.
    ● Play with proportion, such as a voluminous jacket over a skinny pant.
    ● Prints and texture add dimension to any look.

    For Pregnant Women:

    1. Pleather bag, $69, Mexx.
    2. Wool/alpaca-blend coat, $555, Rebecca Taylor.

    4. Patent-PVC shoes, $135, Nine West.
    5. Silk dress, $1,495, Jeremy Laing.
    6. Malachite necklace, $630, Alexis Bittar.

    Style tips:
    ● Avoid overly tailored styles that bind and constrict.
    ● Accessories can jazz up the plainest of dresses.
    ● Mimic an empire waist with a skinny belt.
    ● Stay away from loud prints or stripes that draw attention to the tummy.
    ● Opt for ankle booties or T-strap pumps with a slightly lower heel—chic but comfortable.

    2. Polyester belt, $25, Aldo.

    5. Wool flannel jacket, $195, Banana Republic.
    6. Leather shoes, $250, Aldo.

    Style Tips:
    ● Don’t try to hide or conceal your assets; instead, choose body-skimming pieces.
    ● Waist-cinching belts define your shape even more.
    ● Tailored styles, such as fitted shirts and pencil skirts, accentuate your curves.
    ● Avoid loud graphic or floral prints and opt for small and playful patterns instead.
