5 permanently applicable fashion tips for women

Women's fashion is an exciting field, but it can be hard to find your way around. However, there are some timeless principles that will enable you to remain elegant for any occasion. Finding your style while respecting your personal morphology and tastes is the key to feeling good in your clothes. Here are five fashion tips for women, applicable all year round, to enhance your figure and build a timeless wardrobe.

Our fashion tips for dressing your body type

Knowing your body type is essential for choosing clothes that make you look your best. Every woman is unique, and learning how to harmonize your outfits with your morphology helps you feel more confident. Find out how to adapt your wardrobe to different body shapes.

Dressing for an X shape

The X-shape (or hourglass figure) is characterized by shoulders and hips of equal width, with a pronounced waist. This morphology is considered well-proportioned. To enhance this silhouette, choose clothes that emphasize the waist: slim-fitting dresses, tailored jackets and high-waisted pants. A belt can accentuate the slimness of the waist.

X: low-cut tops and high-waisted pants

Highlighting H-shaped silhouettes

Women with an H-shape have aligned shoulders and hips, but a slim waist. The aim is to create curves and structure at the waist. Straight dresses, flowing blouses and slightly fitted jackets are ideal. Low-waisted pants also provide good balance.

H: jumpsuits and belted chinos

Morphologie O: clothing for plump women

Women with an O-shape have generous curves. The idea is to choose clothes that highlight your assets while blurring the areas you wish to conceal. Choose flowing tunics, empire dresses and straight pants to elongate your silhouette. Avoid materials that are too tight-fitting.

O: V-neck blouses and loose-fitting pants

Balancing the silhouette of A-shaped women

If you have an A-shape, your hips are wider than your shoulders. To balance your figure, you need to draw attention to your upper body. Choose tops with ruffles, epaulets or bright colors. For the bottom, opt for flared skirts or pants to minimize the width of your hips.

In A: ruffled shirts and wide-leg jeans

What to wear when you have a V-shaped body?

V-shaped women have shoulders that are wider than their hips. To balance this silhouette, choose voluminous skirts, flared pants or skater dresses that add volume to the lower body. At the top, opt for simple cuts and V-necks that soften the width of the shoulders.

In V-shape: bat-sleeved tops and printed pants

Finding your color palette: the secrets of colorimetry

Another essential fashion tip is to choose the color palette that best enhances your complexion. Colorimetry helps you determine which colors illuminate your face and which shades to avoid. To identify your palette, determine whether your skin has warm or cool undertones. Neutral colors such as black, white, beige or gray generally work for all skin tones, but adding colors that suit your skin tone will make your outfits even more radiant.

Buy basics for your wardrobe!

A well-thought-out wardrobe is based on quality basics. These timeless pieces are easy to combine, allowing you to create elegant outfits for any occasion.

Top basic tops to have

A good choice of basic tops is essential for building your wardrobe. Here are a few essentials:

  • The white T-shirt: versatile and timeless.
  • The white shirt: perfect for chic or casual wear.
  • A cashmere or wool sweater to add a touch of luxury on cooler days.
  • A black blazer to structure your outfits and add a touch of elegance.

Top timeless basic pants

Among the basic pants, here are the ones you should own:

  • Straight or slim jeans, classic and easy to wear.
  • A well-cut pair of black pants, elegant for both office and evening wear.
  • High-waisted pants, perfect for elongating the silhouette.

The perfect little dress for every occasion

The little black dress is a must-have. It can be worn for formal or more casual events, depending on the accessories chosen. A shirt dress is also a versatile option for a look that's both chic and comfortable.

Quality accessories

Accessories are essential to enhance your outfits. Here are a few essentials:

  • A leather belt to structure your looks.
  • A timeless bag in a neutral color like black or camel.
  • Delicate jewels that add a touch of elegance without overpowering.

Jackets and coats: basics not to be neglected

Never underestimate the importance of a good coat. A leather jacket or a beige trench coat are classic pieces that stand the test of time. A wool coat is an excellent investment for winter, elegant yet practical.
