Well, we all love online shopping, don't we? You bought a dress that looked beautiful on the model but feels that it look awful on you? That is because you don't dress according to your body type. But don't worry, I have some tips for you as to how to dress according to your body type and look absolutely stunning.
Choose the shape that best describes you.
Pear-shaped body type:
- Your waist is wider than your bust.
- You consider yourself to have fuller hips.
- You have narrower shoulders in comparison to your hips.
Dressing guide:
- The trick with the pear shape is to balance out the shoulders with the hips by drawing attention to the top part of the body. This can be achieved with wide necklines and interesting prints.
- Stay away from- tight bottoms, pencil skirts, prints or bright colors on the bottom half.
Hourglass body type:
- Your waist is well defined.
- Your bust and hip measurements are roughly even.
Dressing guide:
- If you are lucky enough to have an hourglass shape then you can wear almost any style. To show off your waist. Wear high-waisted skirts or dresses with large waistbands. Wear fitted tops to accentuate your curves.
- Stay away from-Baggy styles.
Rectangular or straight shape body type:
- Your shoulders and hip measurements are nearly the same.
- Your waist isn't well-defined.
- Your weight is fairly evenly distributed throughout your body.
Dressing guide:
- It can be tricky to style as its difficult to get the balance right. Try high-waisted trousers or belted dresses. Crossover tops and wrap dresses work very well on this shape. Wear a cowl neck top to give your bust a more balanced look, pair it with an A-line skirt. Layering is also a good way to create more dimension.
- Stay away from bodycon dresses.
Apple-shaped body type:
- Your shoulders are broader than your hips.
- You are not necessarily as curvy through your hips.
- You don’t have a well-defined waistline.
Dressing guide:
- Tunic tops work well on this shape as it lowlights the rounder tummy. V-necks tops work best as they flatter the bust and draw attention away from the tummy area. You can pair it with a straight leg trouser. Long jackets are also best for this body shape.
- Stay away from-cowl neck tops, fitted clothes, and short jackets.
My thought on body shapes:
Everybody is different. If you’re not one of these shapes—that’s ok! These dressing guidelines are best used as a starting point to understand the basics. And, let’s be honest—most women are a combination of several! It’s all about mixing & matching until you find what’s best for you.
