Wearing a loose fitting dress will immediately create a slimming illusion if layered with lightweight garments and accessories. This piece in particular has a simple pleat stitch around the neckline which allows for the garment to fold between the breastbone and fall, naturally flattering the body.

The ruching and gathering details on the jacket, paired with the zippers and bows, create an interesting and modern look that can be worn through ever season.

This sheer tie dye dress/top is a gorgeous piece for spring. Wear simply with thick black tight or metallic leggings.

This gorgeous cropped jacket is perfect for any sized woman. The gaping sleeves allow for a flattering fit no matter what your shape. Pair this with a bright accessory, whether it is a vibrant scarf or beanie, bring colour and expression to your look.

Go beyond your everyday work or dress shirt and invest in a unique piece. The colours are warm and seductive, whether paired with a black pant, leggings or jeans.  The stunning neckline and asymmetric buttoning is gorgeous, but not for every figure. If you’re big in the bust or have a belly, the shirt could hold in all the wrong places, not a good look.

If you’re someone who loves flats, you can’t go past leather lace ups with silver studs. A great alternative to everyday flats.

A light, sheer knit piece is great for spring and even better for layering in the winter. To avoid an unflattering look, wear with a thick black leather belt. If you have a big bust or belly, you don’t want to draw more attention to yourself by wearing the belt under your breasts. Instead, wear the belt lower and move the fabric to the front to create a layered effect as pictured.  Younger women, go for the Parisian look, beret, ballet flats or round toe pumps. If you’re a little older, try a good quality skivvy, black tights and a chunky necklace.

This piece is great for all figures. If petite, wear as a midriff for a bohemian look. If you’re mature and want a more sophisticated look, wear on top as a layer, with high waisted jeans or tucked into a skirt.

A quality investment: Black a-line skirt with button details. The quality of fabrics at Et al is amazing, the wools are heavy and warm and the detailing is exquisite. If you have short legs or a big bum, this skirt will give an illusion of length and height.

Winter is calling and everybody needs to invest in one of Et Al’s many wool and raw silk jumpers. The weight of the garment and the quality of the fabric is enough assurance that you’ll get a lot of wear out of this piece. No matter what your figure, the V neckline and batwing sleeves will fall elegantly on anyone. For a modern look, pair with ankle boots or knee highs and a feature necklace.

A lot of the garments at Et al can be a little intimidating at first glance or make you unsure and hesitant to try them on. I strongly suggest you try on everything because the cuts are extremely flattering and you’ll be surprised with how well everything feels and fits. This vibrant jacket would be typically worn by a more mature woman, yet our 18 year old model pulls off a modern yet sophisticated look.
