In each short and snappy video, Giovana goes through the clothing items that work perfectly with your figure – and those that should be left on the shelf. 

The fashion whizz started with hourglass bodies, who go in at the waist and out at the hips.

Giovana explained that women with this body shape should seek to “highlight and value curves”, therefore accentuating them with the right outfits.

She said that complementary items include belted coats, wide sleeves, v-necks, and boot cut trousers.

However, she said there were also certain outfits to avoid at all costs, such as higher necklines, including turtle necks, and shapeless trousers.

Meanwhile, those with a more rectangular body shape need to be investing in pieces including wrap dresses, high waisted or flared trousers, and  pleated skirts

But they should be careful to steer clear of one shoulder tops that will do nothing for their figure. 

Elsewhere, the style guru said that pear shapes have another set of rules to follow.

These include everything from wearing knee-high boots to wearing u-necks. 

Other items that should be on their radar are heels, structured tops, padded blazers and dark trousers.

Finally, those with an inverted triangle shape should be stepping out in A-line dresses, high-waisted trousers, flowy skirts and darker tops.

But in their fashion fail bin is puffy sleeved tops and V-neck lines.
