1. If you are narrow in the body try stripes when choosing a top...remember different width stripes can make a big difference to your proportions.
2. If you are long in the body look for high rise trousers or skirts.
3. If you have worn leggings the first time around, try a skinny or straight cut dark denim and team it with a platform, wedge or tuck inside a boot.
4. Once you have a wardrobe full of block colours, start adding prints to broaden your wardrobe.
5. If you wear a print, accessories should be kept to minimum and be simple or bold depending on the size of the print.
6. The longer you are in the leg; pinstripe and plaids with a turn-up can create a more sophisticated look; and don't forget the heels with a peep or slightly pointed toe.
7. The smaller you are try smaller prints, the larger you are the larger the print one can carry.
8. White denim can be as slimming as black denim and will be perfect for a summers day or night out.
9. Denim jackets are a perfect jacket to team with a maxi dress, just remember to turn up the sleeves, collar and button one button to give it shape.
10. If you want to create a long leg, avoid a strap around the ankle and look for straps that cross over the front of the foot.
11. If you are heavier in the hip and thigh a bell or wide flare denim is a perfect smart casual solution; just add a high wedge for sex appeal.
12. A one button jacket with a peaked lapel is ones first investment.
13. If you look or looked good in a mini, and don't want to show your legs, try a solid matt opaque tight or a skinny/ straight trouser for a more sophisticated look.
14. Sack dresses allow you to belt them wherever you feel flatters best; either under the bust at the waist or on the hip.
15. A great buckle draws the eye to the centre of your body and takes the attention from one's hip.
