Your shape is heart
Hey, heartbreaker! You have a strong upper body (whether broad shoulders, a larger chest, or both) and you a visible waist. You'll love tailored tops, pants that came to party, and fit-and-flare dresses.
Letβs take a look β¬οΈ
YOUR GOAL
Let's balance proportions by adding volume and visual interest to your hips and streamlining your top half.
Your Quick Hit Fit List
Before we look at your go-to (and not-so-go-to) pieces, can I set the record straight once and for all?
I donβt want your clothes to βflatterβ you π ββοΈ I want them to *fit* you
πFit β flatter (aka βDo I look good in this?)
πFit = function (aka βIs this garment doing its job?β)
Wearing clothes that donβt fit well (i.e. they arenβt doing their job) is something way too many women settle for. They chalk it up to clothes not flattering them rather than clothes not doing their job.
Thatβs why the following recommendations are split into go-toβs vs. fits that likely wonβt work hard enough for you.
This is not a βwear this not thatβ list.
This is your permission slip to only wear clothes that work hard enough for you.
Your go-to pieces
-
Wrap dresses and A-line skirts that hug the waist and add volume to your lower half
-
Tapered, straight- or wide-leg pants that balance strong shoulders or a larger chest
-
Fitted, structured and/or minimal tops with V- or scoop-necks that elongate
-
Wider straps that help balance the width of your shoulders and support your chest
Fits that donβt work hard enough
-
Turtlenecks, mock necks and boat necks that overemphasize your shoulders and/or chest and create the dreaded uni-boob effect
-
Spaghetti straps are often disproportionate to gorgeous, strong shoulders (and make it tough to wear the proper bra)
-
Oversized jackets, sweaters and drop shoulders that add volume to your top half
-
Skinny jeans and pencil skirts that make your hips appear disproportionately narrower than your top half

I've helped everyone from SAHMs and CEOs to teachers and young professionals find more space (in their closets and brains) and more confidence (in their outfits and lives).
I can't wait to help you create your oh-THIS-is-what-getting-dressed-should-be-like wardrobe so you always know what to wear today.
