Tawnie Style Guide

Our fashion expert’s tips to flatter your Younique Tawnie Body! 
Remember these are only guideline- fashion is all about fun and feeling your best! So if you feel good in it, don’t be afraid to rock it!

Your body challenge: Creating curves and elongating your limbs
Parts you want to accentuate: Petite waist, great legs & shoulders


Tops

  • Asymmetrical Dresses and Blouses. This is your “best cut”! It creates a clean line of sight elongating your petite frame and accentuating your best assets! 
  • Trendy prints and patterns but apply the “Fist Rule”- anything larger than your fist is too big. 
  • Vertical lines. A blouse with a zipper accent in the center or a shirt with patterns that are vertically printed will elongate your torso. 
  • Tops with V-shaped or U-shaped necklines, this will give an elongated appearance to the torso and help create some curves up top. 
  • Try fitted button down shirts/cardigans, the tailoring in at the waist helps show off your infamous Tawnie waistline. 
  • Sport 3/4 length sleeves in the cooler months, the little extra skin will elongate your lithe arms. 
Dresses
  • Sleek maxi dresses with a vertical design
  • You look great in straight sheath dresses and shirt dresses 
  • Bias cuts and generous A-lines that are just on or above the knee. 
  • Empire style dresses are great dresses for our Tawnies. If you can find one with pleats and ruffles up top it will help give the appearance of a fuller chest.
  • Maxi dresses, especially one with a higher neck will give you more volume on top.
  • Dresses with a wrap neck and pleats at the chest area will create the illusion of full body curves.
  • Flutter sleeve dress are ultra feminine and erase the need to define your waist for a fool proof look perfect on your body!
Bottoms 
  • Wear straight pants with a hem that sweeps the floor even with heels. This will create the illusion of having long legs. 
  • Skinny Jeans- your body was made for skinnies! Just make sure to add a top with some volume & voila!
  • Jeans and skirts that fit higher than your natural waist. They create the appearance of having longer legs. But be careful not to go too high, this will create the illusion of a super short upper body. 
  • Mini-skirts that hit across the broad part of the thigh 
  • Wear fitted pencil skirts just above the knees, they will skim your hips and make sexy curves 
  • Keep your skirt hem lines at the knee or above. Anything longer can make you appear smaller than you are.
Jackets & Blazers
  • Jackets with V-shaped or U-shaped necklines. These neckline styles aid in creating the illusion of height. 
  • Shorter jackets that end at the high hip they flatter by creating the illusion of longer legs. 
  • Vertical lines and seaming. They create the illusion being taller. 
  • Look for a blazer with a smaller collar or no collar. Big collars will overwhelm your small frame.
Shoes
  • Sandals and platforms will give the illusion of more height 
  • Wear nude toned stilettos or platforms. The nude color of the shoes will add inches to the look of your legs. 
  • Peep-toe shoes as they create illusion of having more height. 
  • Try Pointed toe shoes, they are more lengthening than round toe. 
  • Rock some flats, but keep your outfit silhouette slim. 
  • Tall boots with skirts showing some skin around the thighs is a sexy look for any Tawnie!

Accessories
  • Look for accessories that are size appropriate, anything too big will overwhelm your small frame.
  • Accessories with bold colors are a great alternative to chunky & big. They give you the dynamic look you want without consuming your tiny body.
  • Thinner belts help create a waist without making your small torso look even smaller.
  • Longer necklaces & chains will elongate your body and give you more height.
  • Go with a medium to smaller sized purse to avoid having your side consumed by an over sized bag. You can wear just about any shape or length bag!
  • Bigger earrings will give more volume to your top if you are trying to optimize a smaller bust.
  • Bracelets & bangles are a great way to add some lower body volume in a subtle way.
