Know your body shape

If you buy clothes that are suitable for your body shape, you will more likely rely on such items, as they flatter and adorn your figure. The body type is, among other things, related to the proportion between your shoulders and hips. Curious about what your body type is? View all body types here and discover which one you have. If you have questions about determining your body type, please contact one of our Editors.

Details

Do you have certain aspects of your body that you want to hide or accentuate? Opt for design details that flatter and showcase these features in the best possible way. Consider, for example, choosing the right neckline or the perfect length of a skirt or dress for your height. Last season, we wrote numerous blogs with the best tips. The perfect reference for all your questions.

Discover the different color types

Fundamentally, there are four color types: spring, summer, autumn, and winter. These color types are based on the color of your hair and eyes, and the undertone of your skin. Each color type has a palette that is suitable and flattering for the characteristics of that type. These colors will make your skin/hair/eyes shine. This doesn't mean that you are limited to buying only colors from your color type, but the advice is to wear the colors from your color type closest to your face.

Fabric guide

The range of fabrics is endless, and everyone has their favorites. However, there are often fabrics we avoid because we think they are uncomfortable, itchy, too synthetic, or we simply don't know how to combine them. Yet, these fabrics could be considered sustainable choices. So educate yourself about the different fabrics and decide based on that whether a fabric is suitable for you or not.

Treat your clothing sustainably

Proper care can extend the life of your clothing, allowing you to enjoy it longer. You don't always need to wash an item after every wear; sometimes airing it out or 'steaming' it in the bathroom can freshen it up. It's also important to wash your clothing at the right temperature, on the right cycle, and with the correct detergent. If woolen clothing starts to pill, a fabric shaver can refresh its look. And there are many more tips and tricks like these.
