small text
large text

Mannequin #1 (Casual): Black tank top w/rhinestone trimming by A.B.S.; Burgundy tweed jacket w/unfinished edges by CHAIKEN; Jeans by JAMES; Bronze high-heel pumps; Lemon Quartz necklace by SONYA OOTEN

Rules:

  • Tone things down a few notches.
  • A V-neck can give great sex appeal without showing too much.
  • Look for shirts with specialties, i.e. roughing, jewels, stitching.
  • Buy a classier jacket.
  • Buy jeans free of distressing and that fit close to body, not tight.
  • Shorter jacket is better for petite people.
  • Boot cut jeans help elongate the leg.
  • Higher rise pant makes legs look longer.
  • Pointy toed shoe helps elongate leg.

Mannequin #2 (Work): Tangerine cashmere sweater from SEARLE; Caramel leather jacket; Polka-dot silk scarf; Brown plaid tweed pant by ZARA; Caramel knee-high boot by ZARA; Caramel leather bag w/gold studs by KOOBA

Rules:

  • Look for a more put together look.
  • Get investment pieces, i.e. leather jacket.
  • Go for one cohesive look in an outfit.
  • Look for pieces that have nice quality but aren't necessarily loud.
  • Look for a cut trouser, it makes the outfit look upscale.
  • Tobacco colors are better for Sohni's skin tone.

Mannequin #3 (Night Out/Fancy): Dress by 30 Van Dam; Silver high-heel shoes by Christian Loubitin

Rules:

  • Look for a dress that can be dressed up or down.
  • Use one accessory per dress, i.e. a nice chandelier earring.
  • Keep one uniformed, streamlined look — good for a tiny body.
  • Hemlines need to be lower, but can still be sexy without showing to much skin.
  • Look for a dress that's narrow through waistline.
  • Find pieces that look sophisticated and use expensive fabric.
  • Bright colors are great for evening — they make a statement.
  • Skirt to the knee is as long as you want to go.
  • Metallic shoes are good for the evening.
