IN THIS colourful season, you don't need to chase every trend or buy the latest fashion to look stylish.

Self-love is accompanied by neatness, confidence, and choosing clothes that flatter your body shape.

Never attempt to imitate others. Instead, concentrate on these suggestions to boost your style:

Understanding your personal style

First, try to discover your own style by considering your body size, shape, and skin colour. Not every trending piece of clothing can suit you.

Look up to other people of your size and body shape, and you can take it from there and add your own flavour.

Identify elements that genuinely appeal to you and consider how they might be integrated into your own unique expression, rather than simply copying what you see.

During hot weather, opt for loose, breathable clothing.

However, since temperatures can fluctuate, baggy or loose clothes are ideal as they allow for adaptability, even if it gets chilly.

These styles are also easy to fashion, especially with solid colours, which can create a chic look.
