It really helps to get to grips with the shape of your body, as this will give you a head start in finding the basic clothes shapes that suit you. Most of us go up and down in weight a bit but, generally, whether we are having a ‘fat’ or a ‘thin’ day, our basic shape stays the same. Mine is classic British pear: I’ve got quite a round bum (Wayne’s really cheeky and says it looks big when I wear my Juicy tracksuits). I don’t mind my shape and it’s not likely to change that much, so I always dress to make the most of it.

Jacket, French Connection; shoes, George at Asda;belt, Mexx.

I think my best bit is my waist, though, as it’s quite petite. This gives my body good proportion and balances out my shape, so I mostly go for clothes that highlight it. Big belts are brilliant for this. Also, as you can see, I’m definitely not the tall, leggy type, so I always have to take my height – and short legs – into consideration when buying new clothes. (Now you know why I love my heels.)

I have to be honest, though, understanding how your own body shape fits with the styles you like is one of the hardest things to get right, and it’s taken me ages to figure it out. But when you have you’ll realize that getting the balance right makes a huge difference. Because I know what shape I am, it makes it so much easier to pick styles that fit. So I always love things that come in at the waist and that highlight my shoulders – like a Grecian-style dress, or skinny jeans and a floaty top. And, of course, my Christian Louboutin stilettoes.
