Upcoming: Figure Flattery Guides for Women and Men

I’ve been getting a number of questions about how to dress to suit one’s body type. And I’m glad.

I strongly feel that dressing for one’s body type is integral to stylishness—how many times have we seen people slavishly following trends, without regard to their personal architecture?

So it seems that the next logical step for Style Intelligence Report to take is to create an online Figure Flattery Guide. Use it to help you pare down your existing wardrobe. Use it as a shopping guide. Use it to help you edit down your trend choices for each season.

Every Monday through Thursday, for the next few weeks, I’ll first be tackling the women’s side: there’s just more figure areas to highlight. But next, I’ll be creating a comprehensive guide for men, probably one of the first of its kind. Every Friday, stay tuned for a post on a different topic—maybe an Adapt this Look (I’ll bring this back, I promise!), a Q&A, or a Trendscape, or even something Else!

Tomorrow, I’ll inaugurate the Women’s Figure Flattery Guide with a post for the sizable number of petite women out there, myself included. Keep the emails coming, and see you then!
