What to Wear – Petite and Busty

Body VariationsBy Imogen LamportJuly 31, 201320 Comments

The other day I received an email pleading with me to help with dressing the petite and busty figure. This body shape can easily look disproportionate and unbalanced as the scale of the bust is large, but the scale of the overall body is small and petite.

Fabric, Personal Style, Prints and Patterns, Style TipsBy Imogen LamportJuly 25, 2013Leave a comment

The obsession with Kate Middleton post birth of Prince George abounds on each media outlet. I admire her for appearing in her first public outing with the new prince not strapped up in shapewear to give us the impression that just hours after the birth she’s snapped back to her pre-pregnancy flat stomached ways. For…

What to Wear to a Wedding

Dress Codes, WardrobeBy Imogen LamportJuly 23, 20134 Comments

Weddings these days have many dress codes. Recently a friend of mine was horrified when turning up to a wedding in a floor-length gown (the invitation dress code said “formal”) to find out that really, all the bride had wanted was for people not to wear jeans! The first point of call when figuring out…

How to Pick Prints – Curved or Angular

Prints and Patterns, Reader QuestionsBy Imogen LamportJuly 1, 2013Leave a comment

Hi Imogen, I love your blog! I am wondering if the type of prints (i.e. angular/curved prints) have anything to do with body shape. I saw two ladies who coincidentally were dressed in black and white printed dresses. One has an I-shaped girl and the prints on her dress were bold and angular. If she…

How to Pick a Slimming Print

Prints and Patterns, Style TipsBy Imogen LamportJune 26, 20139 Comments

Many people are a bit scared of prints, as they’ve been told that prints will make them look larger. This is not always the case, it really depends on the type of print. There are two main types of prints, sparse and dense. Sparse prints have the elements spread further apart, these are the ‘fattening’…

Principle of Volume

Fabric, Personal StyleBy Imogen LamportJune 24, 20137 Comments

One of the simplest, but most often forgotten rules, is that of the principles of volume. Too much volume at one time will make you look larger than you are. Too skin tight can look a little tarty.

How to Wear a Fur Vest

Drape, texture and sheenBy Imogen LamportJune 21, 20137 Comments

It’s winter here in Australia and there are lots of faux fur vests around. They can be a tricky trend to wear as they add some bulk to your frame due to their highly textured nature. But if you feel the cold like me, they really do keep you warm and toasty. Wear over more…

How to Wear Neon Colours

Colour, Reader QuestionsBy Imogen LamportJune 19, 2013Leave a comment

Could you perhaps do a blog about neon colours? Who could wear them, do you think? Perhaps only winter types? I’m a bright spring and wonder if perhaps neon is a bit too bright for clear springs. The reality is that people don’t have really bright colouring like parrots and tropical fish. We are naturally…

Personal Style, Reader QuestionsBy Imogen LamportJune 10, 20131 Comment

Reader’s question: “Hi Imogen, I was on Yelp today and reading up on reviews for clothing places to shop in NYC. I saw a number of reviewers talk about how difficult it is for the 30 or 40 something to find clothes that still make them look young but aren’t so young looking that make…

How to Take an Outfit from Casual to Dressy

Accessories, Outfits, Style Tips, VideosBy Imogen LamportJune 6, 20133 Comments

Many women tell me that they’re really not sure about how to go about styling up their outfits. They end up wearing a basic pair of jeans, or a pair of black pants and a shirt, and because they’ve not added anything else, the outfit is boring and plain. In this video, Jill Chivers of…
