Boutique of the week aims to bring you my top picks of fashions for all generations. Rant has to be one on my favourite finds. I am ready to rant because I really want this label in my closet. I get asked daily when I take ladies on personal shopping trips ‘what labels would work on me?’ In one simple honest answer try ‘Rant.’This fashion label offers integrity, superb fabrics, a generous size range up to 18, an ethical business practice and most importantly relaxed and clever styles that can be worn by many body shapes and generations. The styles offer longevity and flexibility in how they are worn.
It’s all about the layer – do not be scared of the layer
When working with a layered style simple choose the basic pant, top or dress that compliments your own body shape and then finish with layers where you wish to add focus.
- For ladies with a bigger bust line and narrow hips (The Inverted Triangle body type) keep the look simple on the top half and busy on the hip line.
- For ladies with a very straight no curves shape (formally referred to as the Rectangle body shape) you can add soft layered pieces around your shoulders and your hip line. This will bring out you shape and give you balance.
- For women who suffer my fate and want to drag their butts up to their bust (formally known as the Pear body type) then look at keeping the bottom half simple with fuss free straight long dresses, skirts and leggings and add fun layers on your top half. This will bring balance into your life.
- Ladies who thicken out in the mid region (We seriously need to change you title from Apple body types to ?? – anyone please.) should look for small repetitive patterns and fabrics that skim over your tummy with ease.
