Body types - how to choose the right style for your figure?
As one of our brand's philosophies says, true beauty has no size. It is true, however, depending on what we want to expose and what to hide in order to look and feel great, it is worth knowing the proportions of your silhouette and learn what styles, colors and patterns suit you the best. Here is our short guide.
