Category: Dressing Your Body Type

It’s one thing to understand your body type. It’s another to dress for it. Sometimes, the doing is tricky and we find ourselves falling into the same old everyday looks that do nothing to honor our body shapes. In my brand new Body Type Video Series, I talk about discovering, dressing, and shopping your shape, […]

It pays to play to your strengths, or so that’s what I heard. I think this has something to do with sports but let’s just use it for flattery instead. I’m so excited to be diving into body types with you this week because I believe this is where it all begins. But what does […]

I cannot wait for you to meet Judy! I know you’ll love her as much as I do. First of all, you have a lot in common. Like Judy, you’re also beautiful, fun, and trying to look your best every day, regardless of your age and stage. Sure, Judy’s enviable height (5’8″!) and hourglass shape […]

I have good news and I have bad news. Which do you want to hear first? The good news is that we have way more options in 2022 as petites than ever before. From brands and sites that sell by inseam, to mainstream mall brands with large petite departments, our options are broader than ever. […]

Let me set the record straight about straight body types. (I’m so corny!). Seriously, though.

Sure, supermodels may have more inches when it comes to height and fewer inches everywhere else, but […]

I’m not typically a fan of wishy-washy trends. I like a dress that knows what it truly is and isn’t afraid to express it. A mini, for example, knows it’s short and sassy, while a maxi is long and breezy. But a midi? It can’t seem to make up its mind. Fortunately, I decided to […]

I’m switching things up a little this time and giving you the mic. Not literally, of course, because my mic is pretty heavy, but figuratively. I’m letting you pick the topics. I’ll be answering more of your questions in future episodes of Nada Saves Style, so send me your style conundrums to support@nadamanley.com and I’ll […]

Sometimes we can’t see the forest for the trees. Or the body type for the curves. Let me explain. When we talk about body shape, we are talking about the body silhouette or the outline. But you can’t blindly follow the guidelines for your body shape while ignoring other key elements of your body, like […]

Styling is my superpower. It’s my only superpower, just in case anyone accuses me of bragging. I mean, I can’t do push-ups or dance or sew or craft. I’m an average cook and a mediocre homemaker. But I can style. And write about style. It’s always been my thing. Maybe I should get a cape… […]
