Orange Soda | Errands, day out, meetup with the girls to a quick brunch enjoy straight bootcut jeans in a dark wash balances the proportions on a rectangle shaped body (look for a mid rise as high rise can widen the waist and low rise can straighten out any waist to hip curve). The darker wash and straight cut lengthens the silhouette. A wrapped and ruched top helps define the waistline. Ensure top ends at the hip line( not mid thigh to appear boxy nor waist to emphasize the width of it). A v-neck naturally emphasizes the vertical line of the silhouette. The softness of the flowy sleeves offer subtle volume and curves to the sharp angular lines of the rectangle. A pointed toe elongates the silhouette.

Work Mode | This look is great for presentations and meetings for the pear body shape. Tower building with colour creates the illusion of height for the pear body. The light coloured blazer adds the illusion of weight to the top of the body. The cinched waist with the same colour belt moves the lines of sight away from the hips. The boat neckline on the top emphasizes the width of the shoulders for a more balanced look. The straight cut trousers create vertical lines to elongate the look. The pointed heels further lengthen the look. The gold accents add dimension and an interesting contrast to the outfit.
