Style anatomy

Designer Shamsha Hashwani shares how she styles herself according to her body type

How would you describe your body type?

I would describe myself as someone who is petite.

Has your body changed in the last five years?

No, not really. I have maintained my body type for some years now.



How has your style changed over the years?

I’ve become more adventurous with colours. I am also more experimental now, especially with flared pants and ijars compared to straight-cut pants.

In your opinion what is your most troublesome area?

My hips!

How do you dress your body according to your body type?

I love looser fits and cuts on myself! I also love halter tops. In my opinion, a combination of both suits my small frame the best.

In your opinion what is the biggest mistake a person can make while dressing here?

I would say wearing something that is not flattering for one’s body type.



What silhouettes suit your body the most?

Either something loose and baggy or tapered as well as short halter tops.



What is the one piece of clothing you shy away from
the most?

Jeans! I am not comfortable in them any more!
