Real Women Have Curves: Style Tips For Hourglass Women

As a leading personal stylist in London, I have clients from all over the world,my clientele is mainly upmarket women. Are these women size zero? Absolutely not. The most common body shape is hourglass and whatever their size my hourglass clients complain that fashion does not suit them. They are right. I am a UK size 8- US size 6, I have not bought a pair of trousers for 6 years, many of my clients are the same. This is not a size thing but a shape thing. I have curves. Is fashion missing a trick? I refuse to wear hipster trousers. In fact, I refuse to wear anything that does not suit me. If you have a waist, hipster trousers cut in at the wrong part of your body and however slim you are the result is a roll of flesh. Elegant? I think not. Hipster skirts ride up and down as the hourglass has no defining flat area, so tops hang out and you are left with about 6 inches of spare material at the back, as the "too big top will end up on the waist. This makes the skirt unflattering, at best and it looks like you are wearing someone else's clothes.
