Acne
. Their cool, simplistic, scandinavian aesthetic always pushes boundaries with unusual colours, androgynous silhouettes and cutting edge textiles. Ever experimenting with new origami- like shapes, sharp tailoring and ballooning proportions, they never fail to deliver something new and exciting with each collection.
One problem: everything at Acne seems to have been designed for the tall skinny girl. So what’s a short curvy girl like me to do? Believe me, I’ve tried to pretend like it doesn’t matter by trying on that gorgeous poppy-red mid length
, only to look like a more like a cheap quality street chocolate that melted a little bit in someones pocket.
Simple, boxy, knit. That’s the answer. Effortlessly cool in clinical white. Sure, it’s a pretty well known fact that when girls with above average size boobs wear something of the floaty/baggy variety it can often look like a big maternity top hiding a 7 month baby bump. But it can definitely work if you play with the proportions of your other clothes right (skinny jeans, mini skirts and short shorts are the answer.)
