It’s not uncommon for your body shape to change some with age, Aplasticplanat Cosmic Friendship Shirt from pregnancy and the stretching out of your previously taut skin, to just the natural general sagging and redistribution of weight of menopause. Experiencing this can mean that your old clothes don’t look as good as they used to and it may be that you just have to get used to the less slim version and give yourself some slack (as we tend to imagine our stomachs are way bigger than they are in reality) or start adapting what you wear. If you’re reading this I’m assuming that you want to look and feel your best, no matter what your age or shape may be. However, as you grow older, it can become more challenging to find clothes that not only fit your body but also reflect your personal style. You start to discover that much of what is available is aimed at the super-toned and younger body, even though the majority of the population is older (and wiser) and no longer wishes to wear dresses with cut-outs at the waist. When it comes to dressing for your shape, the key is to accentuate your best features and downplay any areas you’re not so comfortable with. For example, if you have an hourglass figure with curves in all the right places, look for clothes that cinch in at the waist and flare out over your hips. This will accentuate your curves and create a feminine silhouette. But with your new more rounded tummy, you may not want it to be as tight fitting at the waist as what you used to wear, or you may want to look for features such as strategic ruching that hide your new tummy. On the other hand, if you’re more apple-shaped with a bit of a tummy, try looking for tops and blouses that bypass your waist, or blousing your tops over the waistband of your pants or skirts. This will create less focus on your midsection and cover up any areas you’re not so happy with. Fabrics are key to creating a look you love and that make you feel confident. Fabrics that cling and show off every roll make you way more self-conscious, whilst a fabric that skims make you look and feel better. So some of your old tighter jersey garments may not work as well now as they did in the past. Instead, start finding fabrics and styles that still work with your figure, but don’t highlight areas you want to camouflage. The more heavily textured a garment is, the more bulk it adds to your frame. Look for fabrics that are more smooth rather than really chunky knits (tips of the day – if you’d describe a garment’s fabric as chunky, then it will be making you look more chunky). Shine draws attention so it’s great to use in jewellery as it will grab attention, sparkling earrings or metallic necklaces are a great way to draw attention to your face. But shiny fabrics in garments will draw attention to themselves, so don’t wear a shiny garment on a area of your body you’d rather wasn’t a focal point.

Working with makers, Aplasticplanat Cosmic Friendship Shirt mills and factories right here in the UK, HebTroCo is a brand inspired by the hardy Yorkshire environment and an unfaltering respect of the great outdoors. The influence of the local dales and moorlands, where the brand is based, creates a collection of stylish utility and workwear pieces for those who live, or aspire to live, a lifestyle in touch with the natural world. Everything is designed in-house, is exclusive to HebTroCo and is made using only the best and most sustainable natural fabrics, including wool from nearby farms. In addition to the highest quality fabrication and eco production methods, at the heart of the brand is a unique personality and sense of humour, helping to build a large and growing community of customers around the UK. HebTroCo is based in Hebden Bridge, an area once at the centre of the textile industry and somewhere that used to produce over 20,000 pairs of trousers a week (a million a year), leading to the nickname ‘Trouser Town’. It was this fact, coupled with a desire to support small British manufacturers, that inspired the founders, Brant Richards and Ed Oxley, to create the brand. Brant was the editor of men’s magazines; a cycling magazine and a lifestyle title, before going on to work in bicycle design and brand development. Ed had mostly worked in the outdoor industry running a mountain bike skills and guiding business. He also worked as massage therapist for ten years, all jobs that had a common thread of making people happy. Both had a passion for Yorkshire and for its natural beauty, which is now something intrinsic to the brand they created. HebTroCo was born via a crowdfunding website at the end of January 2016, with the aim to sell an initial batch of 176 pairs of trousers. The batch sold out in five hours, so the pair quit their jobs, and committed to HebTroCo full time, creating a hugely successful business with an army of loyal customers and employees. Whilst the collections are non-seasonal they include items for warm and cold weather, and are always created with Yorkshire in mind, requiring durability and functionality. The result is a workwear wardrobe of stylish classics, designed for city dwellers and those in more rural areas. There are pieces that can be worn in the office, and pieces that will help you get to the top of a mountain – some of them even tick both boxes. Everything is carefully tested, perfected and guaranteed for life for manufacturing defects. If at any point something does happen, then the guarantee offers a repair or replace service.
