I love this! My favorite part:
Here’s the thing: Particularly in recent years we have all been so inundated with typology-based advice, from various fruit-inspired body shape theories to super in-depth colour analysis quizzes, that the idea that only a small set of clothes and colours works for each person has become widely accepted. And that’s pretty sad I think. Sure, there may be a handful of colours that each one of use looks a little more tired in and a few that we look a little better in, but the vast majority of shades will look just fine. The same goes for shapes/silhouettes: Yes, a few extreme cuts may make you look a little more bottom-heavy or perhaps 2 pound lighter, but your body is what it is and clothes won’t magically change that.
If something is your style and you love it, I believe you should wear it, regardless of whether it supposedly ‘flatters’ your body or doesn’t. Plus, if we are being honest, ‘to flatter’ almost always means ‘makes you look thinner’, and that definitely shouldn’t be your prime objective when it comes to getting dressed.
