Dress to impress: Real style has nothing to do with your age

Margaret Jennings talks to image consultant Kathryn Byrne about how women can dress to impress as their shape changes with age.

As we age, our body shape alters, but there is one simple change we can make to improve the outline of our figure — hitch up our bras!

“I think I have readjusted a thousand women’s bras in the past 25 years, if not more,” says Dublin-based image consultant Kathryn Byrne. “I know immediately by looking at a woman and I’d day ‘When is the last time you readjusted that bra since you bought it?’ And she’d say ‘oh god never’. Those little loops are always at the bottom of the straps. Their bra is a year old and they’ve never readjusted it.”
