How often does this happen to you? A full wardrobe, but nothing to wear. You’re not confident about what goes together, or if the colour’s right, or does it make you look fat. How do you make sense of it all?

Well there is a way, and that is to understand your body – its shape, contours and seasons. Confused? Alison Bird from Sense of Style has a few tips that can help us all from suitable hairstyle to colours that set off your eyes.

This way you can determine the colour which best suits you and ensures the individual’s best features shine and they have an overall glow.

With the correct colour palette you will find it simple to choose clothing. And you need to know what styles suit you – hairstyles, clothes styles and jewellery styles. To do this you have to work with your body shape, starting with your face.

Alison says that by looking at the shape of your face she can determine the best haircut, jewellery and eyewear that will suit you.
