![]() Simple is best, like Otiumberg’s Large Vera hoop – a real classic. I still like a large but not oversized gold hoop. Or go for some sparkly huggies from The Hoop Station, small and neat but with a touch of embellishment. My favourite enamel-striped mini-hoops (above right) from designer Marte Frisnes come in lots of colours, as well as a great all-round medium size that fits just about everyone. Is your hair straight and fine or voluminous and curly, which might hide smaller hoops? Hoops always reflect my mood. If pulled back and you’re feeling bold, go big or, for low-key, choose a small huggy. If you wear it down, go for medium to large. My daughter, meanwhile, has long hair and this, as well as hair volume, helps to balance hoop size. I loved wearing super-large hoops, but since chopping off all my hair I feel they overwhelm my face. Can I copy her look? How do I find the perfect size for me? Anyone can get away with any sized hoop – there are no hard rules – but for me it’s all about confidence and hair style.

Candice Brathwaite, influencer and author Cos have some great culottes and M&S come up trumps for petite girls. Go for pants that are sold as three-quarter length or cropped for the “average”-height human. With wide-leg denim, always wear a sturdy platform or wedge. Make sure you take two pairs of shoes with you: the highest shoe you’re going to wear with it and the flattest shoe, so you can strike a happy medium with where the trousers are going to sit. The issue with altering them yourself is there’s a certain definition you want with wide-leg trousers and if you’re not a seamstress you won’t get it right. As a shorty, you need to get them from the petite section or find a tailor you trust to take them up. The things to think about are the tailoring, the fit and the fabric.
