“There's no how-to road map to style. It's about self-expression and, above all, attitude." - Iris Apfel
Multiple Choice
Triangle women are embracing the more-is-more approach to jewelry. So, necklaces are getting layered. Feel free to experiment with this versatile trend. One day, wear multiples of the same material, such as silver ropes; another, go for contrast, such as pearls mixed with edgy chains.
Denim Days
How to discover your dream jeans? Try, try and try again. If you’re heading to Crabtree Valley Mall or The Streets at Southpoint, consider your body type and these tips:
Petite
Seek a relaxed fit that’s narrow enough not to overwhelm. And while this may be obvious, it’s not easy to pull off: Jeans for petite women must not bunch up at the ankles. You might like a soft, supple pair that molds to curves and feels like leggings. Bonus: Fading that travels down the leg has an elongating effect.
Tall
When it comes to jeans, the No. 1 goal of lanky women is to avoid high-waters. Therefore, your objective is to find a more generous inseam. Jeans that are slightly flared at the hem can cover your ankles and most of your shoe. For casual days, consider a pair that rolls up at the bottom.
Hourglass
The challenge is to find dungarees that fit well on the waist but aren’t too tight elsewhere, like the thighs. Start with pants made of a flexible material. Then, look for those that are gently curved through the upper hip and perhaps offer zipper pockets or other embellishments to draw eyes toward your best assets.
Curvy
Great denims - the holy grail of women of size. First, hunt for pants with a stretchy waistband. Second, angle for extra room around the stomach, hips and butt as well as slim (but not too slim!) straight legs that give the effect of a skinny jean.
Fashion Emergency Kit
Stash an instant stylist pack in your bag or glove compartment. Triangle trendsetters recommend:
– A scarf to transform a simple outfit in a second
– Double-stick tape for a loose hem or gaping shirt
– Lint brush
– Powder, lipstick and mascara
– Sample-size cologne
– Safety pins for everything!
