Here's something we tell almost every client who walks into Renée: the size on your label is the least interesting thing about how you look.
What actually makes an outfit work? Proportions. The way a fabric moves. Where the eye lands. And — most importantly — whether you feel like yourself in it.
Stop dressing to hide. Start dressing to highlight.
The question most women ask themselves in a fitting room: "does this cover my arms/belly/hips?"
The question that actually gets you somewhere: "does this draw attention to what I love about myself?"
That might be your waist. Your shoulders. Your legs. Your décolleté. Lead with that. Build the outfit around it. Everything else follows.
One rule that actually works:
Draw the eye to where you want attention. A strong neckline, a well-placed belt, a great pair of earrings at face level — these aren't tricks. They're styling. And they work on every body, at every size.
Now, about body types.
Once you know what to highlight, understanding your silhouette helps — not as a rigid rule, but as a useful starting point. We've written detailed guides on all five body types right here on the blog: Dress your body type: O, A, X, I & V

The bottom line?
Style isn't about being a certain size. It's about knowing yourself well enough to make intentional choices. And if you want help figuring that out — that's exactly what we're here for.
