Core or not Core?

As a stylist I get asked most days, what items are a core item and what items should I invest in? The answer is not quite as simple as that. We have talked lots over the last few months about style personalities and body shape and to be honest with you, the answer to these two questions are more important and help you understand what are your core items. I can easily tell you what items are core for my style and body shape but that will be very different to yours.

Don’t get me wrong, I obviously can give you a list of items that would be good to create as many outfits as possible, for example…Jeans, Tee, Knitwear, Blazer. But there are so many elements to look for in each of these item categorys. Take Jeans for example, should you go for high waist, low waist, cropped, high rise, wide leg, skinny, slim or straight ……soooooo confusing and so overwhelming, This is exactly what I mean, the answer to what style jeans, blazer etc is complete based on your body shape and how we want these items to highlight your body.

I would encourage you to have a think first of all about what is your style? Are you a creative personality, dramatic, urban, classic, romantic or elegant? what does that even mean?

Your style personality is as important as your body shape, a good stylist would be keeping these in mind when selecting your ‘core’ items and how to dress you.
