Let’s talk pink…. 💕
There’s no doubt that pink in all it’s hues is a strong trend this season and as it’s my favourite colour, I can’t say I’m disappointed. However, I choose to wear pink because I love it, not because it’s the latest trend colour.
Trends are all well and good when they align with your own personal style but following trends needlessly can lead to a chaotic, un-cohesive and unwearable wardrobe.
The best way to create a workable wardrobe is to start by understanding your own personal style and shopping accordingly. Buying pieces that align with the image you want to create will ensure you always have something to wear and love each and every item in your wardrobe.
Once you’ve built a strong, cohesive wardrobe then you can play around with the trends should you wish to do so and if they align with your personal style.
Are you a trend follower or do you prefer to shop according to your personal style?

The smile says it all! Along with the comment, “

The smile says it all! Along with the comment, “I look SO good. I mean REALLY good!” that meant that my work here was done. How handsome and stylish does Bilal look?
Bilal says, “If you are looking for a personal stylist look no further. Clare is absolutely fantastic. I had a colour analysis and personal styling appointment with Clare and I will never go shopping on my own ever again. Clare picked quality pieces for me that matched my undertone, body shape and personal style. I was a little bit nervous before starting this style journey, but Clare made me feel relaxed and excited! I cannot wait for my next appointment.”
You’ll know I’m passionate about styling but I’m particularly passionate about men’s styling, with around 25% of my client base being male, and this figure is growing. You might be interested to know that many men suffer with the same body confidence issues that is women do - they just aren’t as open about it as we are. Seeing smiles this size fills my heart with joy and gives me a spring in my step every single day. I love my job and I’m lucky to work with the best clients a Stylist could ask for! Thanks to you all for making my work so enjoyable.
If you’d like a smile as wide as Bilal’s then please get in touch at hello@clarewatkins.com I am now booking into 2023.

Do You Know How to Dress For Your Body Shape? One

Do You Know How to Dress For Your Body Shape?
One of the primary tools I use when dressing my clients is recognising their body shape - understanding how to dress it correctly to emphasise their best or favourite parts and playing down the rest.
When clients meet me in person for the first time, they are often surprised that I am only 5ft 1.5 (the half being very important!). One said to me, “Wow, you’re tiny! You dress yourself so well, you dress yourself tall.” The trick here is that I know and understand my body shape, so I’ve become very good at creating balance and proportion to make me look taller than I am. As I’ve also identified the best features of my body shape I tend to play to those - for example my small waist to hip ratio. This draws the attention to those parts I love (my small waist) and away from the rest I like a little less (my tummy).
There are several different body shapes each with their own set of guidelines and tips and tricks. Once you master these you are dressing your body in the optimum way to create the best silhouette.
The perfectly balanced outfit is created by using my expert tips and advice to choose clothes, fabrics, texture and pattern that both fit and flatter your body. You can only successfully achieve this by knowing which body shape you are. This is why identifying and discussing body shape happens at every appointment. During our time together we work on maximising your best assets, emphasising what you love about your shape and cleverly disguising what you don’t.
It’s one of the simplest yet most effective ways of completely changing the way you look for the better.

Getting the girls ready for the new season. Two pa

Getting the girls ready for the new season. Two pairs have been for a little TLC at the cobblers which has given them a new lease of life for Autumn/Winter 2022. They’ll be no boot shopping for me this season again, as I plan to continue to wear these again and again just as I have for the last four years. If I was to calculate the price per wear I think we’d be on pennies. And as one of my clients said, “You live in these. They must owe you money!”.
Buy well, buy less, make it last. It’ll pay you back in the long term.

Never underestimate the power of accessories. They

Never underestimate the power of accessories. They shouldn’t be kept for special days or occasions, they are for every day, perfect for upping the style stakes. No outfit is complete without them - they are like the frosting to a cupcake. But don’t forget, they should complement your outfit, not compete with it.
These pieces are some of my faves from @monicavinader the bottom bracelet is now 5 years old and still going strong, which is why I am delighted to be a #MVInsider and can offer you a lovely 20% discount with code MVINSIDER20-D31F at https://family.monicavinader.com/s/clarewatkins
Read on for reasons why accessories should not be underestimated...
▫️Accessories add interest to your outfit. Without them, you run the risk of becoming bored with your wardrobe because the outfits are always the same. Accessories can switch up your look in an instant.
▫️Accessories extend the life of your clothes. With a change of accessories, an outfit you were so familiar can be given a new lease of life.
▫️Accessories pull your look together. They create interesting details where clothes are simple or plain.
▫️Accessories add personality to your look and give you an opportunity to express your unique, personal style.
▫️To renew and rejuvenate an older outfit and give it a completely new look pair it with the latest season’s must have accessories. It’s also a low cost way of bringing your look bang up to date.
▫️Accessories add versatility. With a change in accessories you can wear the same ensemble over and over but it will look and feel different every time when you add different accessories.
▫️Use accessories to highlight your best assets and take attention away the ones you are not so fond of.
▫️And finally, when it comes to jewellery don’t forget that warm skin tones should wear gold near their face and cool skin tones should wear silver. This will act as an instant face lift.
