Carine Roitfeld is the ultimate Parisian in every aspect of her life, including her own personal fashion style. She has impeccable taste and is more than unconventional in the way she thinks. To her, fashion is undoubtedly self-indulgent and she embraces fashion’s existence but with a far-reaching cultural foresight that gives the whole picture a sense of balance. She has an intrinsic gift to combine street culture and sophistication but at all times staying away from being identified solely in any of these two worlds but forever acknowledging that mixing these two disparate worlds is the only medium for creativity.
All these notwithstanding, Carine’s approach to fashion is categorically lofty. She has a remarkable eye for coming up with a look that is both attractive and avant-garde. She combines decorous adult pieces with assertive trend-setting fashion statements, some of which borders on the edgy, such as her love of fur, bondage shoes and animal prints that have made the most influence on fashion. Most runway shows of the past winter season were copies of Carine’s chic glam, her own personal trademark. Carine Roitfeld’s personal fashion style is all about tradition, simplicity and luxury.

Everyone should wear heels even if it is only a small one. Heels make you look slim.

Another stylist advice is to find heels with a platform since these comfy fashion has a gentler angle and gives an added support at the balls of the feet.
• Find your ideal shape
According to these stylists, clothes can create for you your ideal shape. When buying clothes, try on several styles and sizes. Look for clothes that fall at a complimentary angle. Clothes should not fit tightly and cling, it should glide through your body. If you have wide hips, find clothes that will give the illusion of smaller waist such as a top or dress that drapes where you are slimmest. Women with wide shoulders should opt for V-neck shorts. The deeper the V, the more tapered the shoulder will look.
• Minimize your flaws
Try to camouflage whatever it is that you do not like about your body. If your legs are thick, then don’t attract attention to it by wearing pale colored and heavily detailed pants. Pale colors and elaborate detailing will call attention to the legs. Cargo pants with pockets on the thighs will add mass or bulkiness to where the legs are thickest. To hide a tummy bulge, the best options are tops and shirts with a broad band at the waist.
