008: Use Style Lines to Flatter your Figure - with Imogen Lamport

My guest is the fabulous Imogen Lamport of Inside Out Style back by popular demand. If you haven’t listened to Episode 2 where Imogen made her first appearance then be sure to go and listen to that after this episode. If you have listened to that episode then you will know that Imogen is a walking encyclopaedia on all things style. 

At the time of recording we are in the transition phase between seasons and I am planning what to make and wear as the weather begins to change. I’ve become fascinated by the optical illusions that clothing can create and so I decided to ask the style guru, Imogen, about the ways in which we can use style lines in our clothing and the rules to help me understand what will flatter me and what I should avoid. It’s a juicy episode packed to the brim with great rules, tips and advice.

In this episode you will hear:

• The four most common style lines and how they relate to our clothing
• The three rules of horizontal lines – how to use them to create balance and where to avoid them
• How to create height and lose pounds using verticals and why rolling up your sleeves can make your legs look longer
• The best place to use a curve in your clothes and which neckline is the most flattering for you

…and sooooo much more!
