Do you ever find yourself drowning in a sea of style information Halal, Is It Me You’re Lookin’ For Shirt, colour analysis results, and body shape theories? You are not alone, because we think that getting dressed should be easy because we’ve been doing it all our lives. Yet when we start getting our style education we suddenly realise that there is so much more to getting dressed than just body shape or just colours. There’s a whole myriad of things to consider and this is why it’s easy to get lost in the labyrinth of fashion advice and feel completely overwhelmed. But fear not! In this post, we’re diving into the world of personal style, helping you unravel the confusion, and guiding you towards dressing with certainty and confidence. Let’s address the elephant in the room – the overload of style information. Personal style is, well, personal. The key is to find what resonates with you. Your style is an expression of your personality, your experiences, and your unique preferences. Rather than adhering to someone else’s rules, it’s about discovering what feels like an authentic extension of yourself. Embrace the pieces that make you feel confident, the colors that light up your face, and the silhouettes that celebrate your body. Have you been told you’re a clear and deep winter, a bright spring, and even a vivid winter? With various colour systems pointing in different directions, it’s no wonder you’re left scratching your head. Personal colour analysis has been around for over 50 years, and it had its original trend peak back in the early 1980s with the publication of Carole Jackson’s book Colour Me Beautiful. Since then, colour analysis tools have improved in leaps and bounds, from the original 4 seasons to the much more nuanced 18 palette Absolute Colour System that works for all skin tones and colouring. Your hair colour, eye colour, and skin undertone are your allies here. When colour analysis first appeared you were given a “season for life”, which denied that your colouring would change (well when you only have 4 seasons to choose from there aren’t many options), yet I know from my two decades of experience that colouring does change – my own has changed as I’ve moved from black hair to blonde to silver that my palette has shifted too. I’ve discussed this here. Body shape theories can be equally perplexing. From Kibbe to What Not to Wear, there’s a myriad of systems, each claiming to have all the answers. But here’s the truth: no system can encompass the diversity of human bodies and any that try and push your body into one of 5, 8, 10 or 12 categories is super limiting. Instead, we need to find out what works for you layer by layer, by adding body shape, to body proportions, adding in some body variations and then of course colouring, personal preferences, lifestyle and your personality. With resources like my free Body Shape Quiz, the Body Shape Bible, and so many posts on body shape, we’re equipped to start to navigate this territory with precision and insight. Your uniqueness is what makes you beautiful. Instead of forcing yourself into a predefined mould, let’s celebrate your individual body equation – shape, proportions, and variations.

Halal, Is It Me You’re Lookin’ For Shirt ,hoodie, sweater, longsleeve and ladies t-shirt

Fast forward to the present day and the classic NB style is now in its sixth iteration, Halal, Is It Me You’re Lookin’ For Shirt having settled into its role as the brand’s flagship premium lifestyle sneaker. The 990v6 is the lightest, cushiest, sportiest (and priciest) version yet, featuring New Balance’s FuelCell cushioning, which is usually reserved for its top-flight running shoes. It’s also the first 990 to be designed in conjunction with new New Balance Made in USA creative director Teddy Santis, perhaps better known as the founder of label of the moment Aimé Leon Dore. If the 990v6 owes its lineage to NB’s heritage models, the 1906R looks in the opposite direction for its inspiration. Decidedly futuristic, with just a hint of 1990s PE teacher thrown in for good measure, this mesh-and-metallic masterpiece has taken the sneaker world by storm. There have been some great collaborations, but there is also a wealth of general-release colourways that anyone can get their hands on – not just those who know their way around a raffle. The original 2002 launched to a somewhat underwhelming reception back in 2010. Customers just weren’t interested, perhaps partly due to the high price tag and partly to it simply not being the right time. What’s certain is that it didn’t have anything to do with the shoe’s design, because when it relaunched as the more accessibly priced 2002R in 2020, it quickly became one of the hottest shoes on the market. The ‘Protection Pack’ release of this shoe proved particularly popular, featuring a deconstructed, dishevelled look, marked by the jagged overlaid panels and uneven, asymmetric lines throughout. We think it’s a great option for anyone looking for an off-kilter alternative to classic NB styles like the 990, 991 or 992. It has hints of all three but at a much more affordable price point. This low-top silhouette is a relic from New Balance’s first foray into the world of basketball. While it wasn’t exactly a slam dunk on the court in 1989, it has since found a new audience on Instagram explore pages and #fashiontok feeds.
