Karan only does this at Christmastime, when she goes on vacation with her family. She sends her luggage and sking equipment so it will be waiting for her when she arrives. The only two extra pieces of clothing she takes with her when traveling by plane are pair of cashmere slippers and a big black cashmere shawl, which she uses on the plane as a blanket and as a shawl during the day or a wrap in the evening.
Designers are catching on to the fact that their typical customer isn't a standard size 5. Larger sizes are becoming more and more available. The size 20 woman doesn't have to be content with a tent - clothes that are pretty and fashionable are now made in larger sizes. An easy, smart outfit would be a vest, jacket and trousers that match.

Throw out anything that you haven't worn for a couple of years, don't kid yourself, you're never going to wear them again.
For a woman, tailored shorts or skorts are an acceptable option but keep them to a reasonable length. Worn with a matching jacket and blouse you can still look smart. Make sure you wear the right shoe, a flat casual - not heels.
For a smart casual look, the man around the office could wear a shirt jacket, a waistcoat in linen and a white tee worn over casual trousers or if it's okay with the boss, jeans.
Yes, it's true we shorter people have to watch what we wear. You can
give an illusion of being taller by keeping your skirt, stockings and
shoes the same colour.
