How to find the perfect fitting pants.

As a personal image consultant who has worked with 1000’s of women I have found that whether you are a size 2 or 22, pants can be difficult to fit.

I get it. Not all pants are created equal.

Before we continue to chat about fit, know that with Covid, shopping is different and it can be extremely difficult to find what you need with in-person shopping.

Shopping for clothes online has become our new norm.

As a professional stylist who now shops for her clients online 99% of the time, I am going to help you with my best personal styling tips and advice.

Something no one talks about when shopping for pants.

Personal Styling Advice Tip #1:

Decide on your preference. Do you know what styles and cuts look best on you? Are you aware of your body type and what styles flatter you? What styles make you feel most confident?

If you are a professional, powerful woman, knowing the answers to these questions will empower you to show up as the best version of you every time.

·       Straight

·       Wide leg

·       Boot cut

·       Skinny

·       Crop pant

Instead of getting overwhelmed with ALL the silhouette choices, begin with one look.

Personal Styling Advice Tip #2

Think about your measurements. When was the last time you measured yourself? Get current measurements so that you can easily make choices when shopping online.

·       Waist

·       Rise -waist to crotch

·       Back rise

·       Hips

·       Thigh

·       Inseam

Personal Styling Advice Tip #3

Stop wasting time ordering pants and that are not going to fit you perfectly and give you the confident feel and look you deserve.

Remember just because a particular brand is the perfect fit for your friend Emily, doesn’t mean they are going to fit you perfectly.

Personal styling is unique to you.  

The goal is for you to love what you are wearing while feeling ultra-confident as a professional businesswoman.

When you have a strong self-image of how you are walking into the room or zoom room, others feel your self-esteem and success.

Style begins with the woman, not the clothes.

A brand photo shoot’s sole purpose isn’t to just capture beautiful photos, there is strategy behind the visuals. And Yes, we want you to ultimately have beautiful photos.

A brave new look.

A brand photo shoot is to help your business STAND OUT and thrive in your niche, further developing your brand presence and communicating a story.

We want to make sure your clothing choices are complimenting your brand and telling the story you are intending – creating brand harmony with you as a business woman.

7 Questions to consider when choosing your clothing pieces:

1.       Branding colors – what are the 2-4 colors you want to emphasize?

2.       What are 2-3 words you want others to feel about you when they see your pictures?

3.       Do you feel ultra-confident in your clothing choices? Did you know that fitted clothing always looks better on camera vs. a non-fitted look?

4.       How many wardrobe changes will you have?

5.       Do you need to purchase new pieces? With virtual shopping, making sure they arrive in plenty of time to review.

6.       Accessories – think about your favorite pieces and how they show up on camera.

7.       Shoes – will they be seen?

Your photoshoot needs to be on purpose. It is your brand. It is representative of you; it is your business card and how others perceive you.

You want to make sure your photoshoot pictures are capturing you at your BEST all while telling your story.

Step into your Excellence. Confidence. Self-worth. Reveal Your Radiance.

If you want helpful fashion advice to feel more beautiful, more confident and 100% aligned with your personal brand, have a conversation with a professional stylist.
