Are you in a fashion rut? Do you hate to shop for clothes? Do you think everyone looks cuter than you do? Do you have to fish for compliments on your fashion? Are you wearing the same clothes you owned ten years ago? Are your clothes making you look old, fat and out of date?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you might be in need of a wardrobe makeover. You don’t have to be a super model to look great. It’s really not about your size or shape; it’s about the clothes you choose.

Basic Pieces

There are some basic wardrobe pieces that most women wear, but often they choose the wrong cuts and styles for their figure. These simple guidelines for skirts, jeans, jackets and capris will help you look younger, thinner and cuter!

Skirts

First of all, if you never wear skirts, you should start. Nearly all women look attractive in skirts, as long as they choose the right shape and length.

A classic A-line skirt compliments nearly every female body. Because it is only fitted at the waist and then gently skims away from the body over those "difficult" areas around the hips and thighs, it creates a flattering silhouette. The look is feminine yet comfortable because nothing is binding. The great news is that A-lines are a super hot fashion piece right now, so you have many choices to pick from.

Never allow the hem of your skirt to fall at the widest part of your leg – be it your calf or your thigh. A good target for your hem is between your knee and your calf where your leg is narrower. This will give the illusion of thinner legs overall. Experiment with various skirt lengths to determine which is most attractive on you. Just because ankle-length skirts are in fashion doesn’t mean they work for your body. Also, unless you are twenty and weigh 125 pounds, do not wear a mini skirt – ever! A slightly longer hemline is always more attractive than a too short skirt.
