And IL2L’s generosity doesn’t stop there — I caught up with them to hear their insights into the best silhouettes for neat-busted frames. Here are their pearls of wisdom:
The edgy biker jacket: perfect to team with a super feminine floaty dress
Work this season’s meld of hard and soft
Florals and lace are everywhere right now. Give the look some edge with a biker jacket that will look great on a more angular frame. Opt for a light grey jacket for a fresh Spring take on the trend. Your neat curves will carry this blend of hard and soft perfectly. We love: Asymmetric leather biker jacket, £90, IL2L.com
Dare to be bold with a splash of colour
Bold colours can broaden your silhouette, so adding a dash of tomato red up top isn’t something everyone can get away with. If you’re petite-up-top, however, you’ll look striking and strong. Stick to one colour under your bright jacket to lengthen your silhouette. We love: Red quilted leather biker jacket, £89.95, IL2L.com
Flirty and rouched
For days when you’d like to add a little extra volume up top, or to balance your upper half with your hips, opt for a style of jacket with a lavish use of fabric around the bust. Ruching create a really pretty, feminine look, which works well to soften your favourite jeans. We love: Ruched funnel neck leather bomber jacket, £69.99, IL2L.com
Big-up your look with a statement bag
Small-busted girls can carry off a big bag, so top your leather jacket with some very glam and oversized arm candy. We love: Fiorelli amber large grab handbag, £43, IL2L.com
