Style advice for the Norma Top

The Norma Top for X- and 8-types

Ladies, this is your top! The gorgeous V-neck does a fab job putting your décolleté in the spotlight, while the puffed sleeves add structure to your shoulders, keeping your silhouette perfectly balanced. This ultra-feminine design is an absolute must in your wardrobe.

The Norma Top for V-types

The gorgeous V-neck makes your upper body appear lighter. Do watch out for those puffed sleeves though, because they highlight your already broad shoulders. Make the sleeves a touch longer to shift the volume at the hem down a little. That will also shift the focus towards the lower body and help balance your silhouette.

Pair the top with an A-line skirt (Dixie skirt) or flared trousers (Bertha trousers). That will help you create a balanced whole with volume at the top and bottom of your silhouette.

The Norma Top for H-types

The V-neck accentuates the midriff, which helps you create the illusion of a smaller waist. What’s more, the puffed sleeves give you a lovely structured shoulder line, which reinforces the impression of a tinier waist. The 3/4-length sleeves do their part too by drawing attention to your waistline.

The Norma Top for O-types

The lovely V-neck beautifully highlights your décolleté. Even better, the ruffles at the top of the puffed sleeves add structure to your shoulders and distract from your midriff. That makes it a winner for your body shape!

Tip: make the sleeves a little plainer at the bottom so that you don’t add volume to the bottom of your figure. That, or lengthen the sleeves to create a narrowing effect at your waist.

The Norma Top for A-types

A-types, you've got to have one of these. The Norma top gives your upper body the attention it needs while taking the focus off your heavier lower body. What’s more, the puffed sleeves add more volume to the shoulders. The V-neck does a lovely job highlighting your décolleté and face and, finally, the sleeve length is perfect!

The Norma Top for I-types

The Norma top is a winner for I-types. It's got everything your straight figure needs to give it more shape. The lovely V neckline and the puffed sleeves look pretty as a picture on your figure.

Go for textured fabric or a fabric in a funky pattern or a bold colour for extra schwung.

For example, the Norma top looks especially gorgeous on your body shape in white fabric that's a little stiffer.
