The Importance of Clothing Proportions

Wearing well-proportioned clothes is an important step towards nailing our signature Kiwi look: modern without trying too hard.

It's about wearing something that feels like it was tailored for you and brings out your best features!

Clothing proportions can make all the difference when creating outfits—too baggy, or one size too small will ruin even the most expensive ensemble. In this blog post, we'll explore why paying attention to clothing proportions is essential for everyone.

The most important rule to remember regarding clothing proportions is "Balance." Balance means that our clothes should be neither too baggy nor too tight. If a piece of clothing fits like a glove, it isn't necessarily the right size — it might be making us look bigger than we are! On the other hand, if it's so big that it swallows us, it isn't the right fit either. The key is to find something that complements our figure and proportions.

The right clothing proportions will also bring out the best in our body type. For example, we can choose slim-fit clothing to highlight our shape if we have a slim frame. Similarly, those with a curvier figure can go for slightly looser fits that are still flattering.

We should also consider the length of our clothing when considering proportions—longer hemlines tend to be more elegant and timeless. In contrast, shorter ones can draw attention to the wrong areas. Our aim should be to create a modern yet timeless look.

Finally, we should be aware of the colours and patterns we choose—while oversized prints can often make us appear larger than we actually are, small details like stripes or polka dots can help draw attention away from our flaws. Choosing colours carefully is also key: dark are great for hiding problem areas, whereas brighter can help make us look more vibrant and youthful.
