Feminise your silhouette. Play with your shape by breaking up your shoulder line and accentuating the lower half of your body.

How to create a more feminine figure

Minimise the width of your shoulders, showcase your neckline, accentuate the waist, and finally, draw attention to the lower half of your body.

Avoid: 

-    Big puffer jackets, trench coats and jackets with wide necks.
-    Jackets and shoulders with wide shoulders are your worst enemy because they add volume to your upper body.
-    Tops with horizontal stripes
-    Boat, crew or square neck that widen your upper body.
-    Short tops that attract the eye to the top of your body.

Forget masculine clothes with too much structure. But you should also avoid feminine clothes if they add volume too much volume. The main underlying tip: soften and feminise the top half of your figure. 

Go for:

-    Tops with a round neck to soften your upper body and raglan sleeves that reduce the visual impact of your shoulders.
-    Bustier, V-neck or asymmetrical dresses that give structure to your shoulders. Trapezoid, straight or A-shape pieces that balance the difference between your shoulders and hips.
-    Trapezoid, flared and bell-shaped skirts.
-    Boyfriend, carrot, baggy and low-waisted trousers to make your hips look wider.
-    Vibrant colours that attract the eye to the lower body.
 

Tips : Wear flowing fabrics that fall nicely to feminise the top of your figure.

Avoid

• Tops that stop at the widest part of your hips. That accentuates the imbalance with your shoulders.
• Tight tops with wide trousers.
• Trousers with darts or side pockets that amplify your hips.
• Colours and patterns on the lower body that magnify your hips.

Choose

Forget tight-fitting and oversized outfits. They don’t flatter your strong points! Go for:
▪     Dresses that show off your legs!
▪     Jackets with marked shoulders that fall below your hips to elongate your bust and balance the width of your shoulders and hips.
▪     Trapezoid or flared skirts to mask your hips.
▪     Flared or bootcut trousers that flatter your shape.
 

Extra tips

Wear scarves and jewellery to draw the eye to the upper body.
Wear heels to give you more length.
 

How to become a successful salesperson. First, you need to learn about direct selling.
Direct selling has certain conventions that you must be aware of before getting started. Read on if you want to learn more...

The home-seller’s mission 

How to become a successful salesperson in the fashion industry.
Understanding the job is a good start.
What does a style consultant do every day? They are actually home-based personal shoppers. Your job? Your job is to present the 4 Captain Tortue collections.
100% female collections, created in France in our design studio in Aix-en-Provence by our artistic director and co-founder of the brand, Lilian Jacquelinet and her team of stylists.
Our 4 collections are adapted to all women. We take into account different styles, sizes and body shapes. That’s why our range is available from size 4 to 24. Our collections cater to all tastes with chic, creative, urban and sportswear influences.
How to become a successful salesperson in the fashion industry. Become a successful salesperson. Of course, you need to be able to talk about fashion and trends, and encourage customers to adopt our collections. You need to learn sales techniques and a strong fashion pitch. But that’s not all.
You also need to give your hostesses and customers advice and fashion tips. The aim is to make them feel more beautiful and better about themselves!
 

Do you have what it takes? 

How to become a successful salesperson in the fashion industry. It goes without saying you need to be a fashion fan. You need to love your product to be able to talk about it with enthusiasm and encourage other women to buy our collections. A successful salesperson also has good presentation skills and a convincing pitch.
Empathy is also important. You need be in tune with what your customers need. They don’t all come to a fashion pop-up shop for the same reasons. Some just want to shop with friends and have fun.
Some have a specific need: to find the perfect dress or the right trousers.
For others, it will be an opportunity to collect fashion tips to enhance their style and maybe even completely rethink the way they shop.
How to become a successful salesperson in the fashion industry - there are several aspects.
 

Working conditions 

The working conditions are similar every day.
You transport Captain Tortue’s collections from one cosy living room to another. Your hostesses invite their best girlfriends for an unforgettable and fun shopping experience, light years from on-line or in-store shopping.
You work in your hostess’s living room, where a group of friends try and buy the collections.
You organise yourself, manage your timetable, receive orders in your own home.
That makes this job the perfect compromise. It’s a home-based job that takes place partly in your hostesses’ homes, and partly working quietly in your own home.
It’s the ideal job for finding work-life balance with a flexible timetable. You organise your own timetable, and you can work when you like. How to become a successful salesperson in the fashion industry. You must be autonomous and organised!
 

Sales profile 

The profile required for Captain Tortue style consultants is exactly the same as that for any salesperson in the fashion industry.
But you must also have Captain DNA. You need to be fun and friendly with a love for fashion and giving advice.
There is no typical profile. Captain Tortue counts on individual desire and personality. 
We accept all profiles: whether you are looking for part-time or full-time work, whether you are unemployed, a student or you already have a job. Everyone is welcome.
Motivation and commitment are the only criteria.
We aren’t interested in long CVs. There are only 2 conditions: you need a driver’s license and a car, which of course means that you must be at least 18. Let’s face it: transporting the collections around without a car would be unbearable.

How to become a successful salesperson in the fashion industry.
So, you have to be motivated, love fashion and have a car... Is that you? Perfect - get in touch!
 

Original collections

It’s true - you make the difference. But that isn’t enough if your product doesn’t stand-out. As we explained earlier, our strength lies in the fact that our collections are designed in our Aix-en-Provence headquarters.
Unlike large retail chains, your customers won't run into women in the same outfit. That’s a major strength. Our collections are exclusive.
In fact, that’s why our 600,000 customers come back to us, and quite honestly, it makes us very proud.

A social event 

Our concept: the fashion pop-up shop. It’s a fun and friendly shopping experience at home. The goal is to put human relations at the centre of the transaction. It’s ideal for people who have had uncomfortable experiences in impersonal stores or who feel alone shopping online. Our concept makes shopping a friendly experience. Individuals receive personal advice and the group learns about all the latest trends. For us, shopping should be a balance between a personalised event and a fashion experience with friends. And that makes all the difference. Our customers are looking for exclusive quality fashion that suits them, but also a fun and memorable shopping experience.
Style consultants also need to inspire loyalty in their customers, calling them regularly, telling them about special deals and gifts they can win.
How to become a successful salesperson: shopping is a sociable experience.
 

Add-on sales 

How to become a successful salesperson in the fashion industry. Propose additional products that work with the outfits your customers choose.
Add-on sales are accessories such as scarves, pouches, jewellery, or even a jacket. A purchase they hadn’t planned, but that adds that little bit extra to their shopping experience.
 

Kind and friendly service 

Being kind and friendly will also make you stand-out from other salespeople. Even if all the other boxes are ticked, if you don’t have good contact with your customers, it will be difficult to develop relationships. This is essential for successful salespeople. It goes without saying.
So, are you ready for some fun with groups of girls? In fact, you love the idea?
Then you are just the right person to work with our shopping addicts!
Being kind and friendly is your trump card. You will standout and become precious to your customers. And to us too!
