It is very important to know and dress according to your body type.
Whether you’re curvy, boyish, petite, or full-figured, these tricks will help you look your best.
Determine what type shape your body is. Pay attention to your curves. Look at how they connect your bust, waist, and hips.
PEAR SHAPED BODY TYPE
You may be this body type if…
Your waist is larger than your bust
You have proportionately slim arms and shoulders
You tend to have wider hips!
Dressing Tips
Highlight your shoulders to balance the shape of your figure. For this you can use scarves, pashminas and colorful necklaces.
Choose patterned and embellished tops and dresses. Make your shoulders look broader with a bateau neckline, cap and puff sleeves.
Avoid tight pants, capri pants, short skirts and pencil skirts. Choose tailored, flared pants and A-line skirts instead.
Wear dark, solid colors for your bottom half and lighter, brightly colored tops.
HOURGLASS SHAPED BODY TYPE
You may be this body type if…
You’d describe your body as curvy
You have a well-defined waist
Your bust and hip measurements are roughly even
Dressing Tips
Highlight your curves. For this, it’s essential to choose clothes that draw attention to your waist.
Avoid baggy clothing. Remember that drawing focus to your narrow waist is the best way to highlight your hips and bust.
Wear undergarments that fit correctly. If your bust is large, be sure to use the right kind of bra. Avoid using padded cups or unstructured bras that make your cleavage look droopy.
Go for V-neck tops and dresses, pencil skirts, and shirts that accentuate your breasts.
APPLE SHAPED BODY TYPE
You may be this body type if…
You are generally well-proportioned
You carry the most weight through your bust and mid-section
You are not necessarily as curvy through your hips
Dressing Tips
Wear clothes that draw attention away from your mid-section and waist. V-neck empire waist dresses and tops, wrap dresses and A-line dresses will do wonders for you. Choose tops that cover the entire belly area and extend just below your hips.
Avoid double-breasted jackets, bulky tops, and clingy silhouettes. Go for layered tops, ruched tops, and tunics.
Avoid skinny jeans and straight leg pants if you are top heavy. Flared or boot cut pants with back pockets are the right choice for you.
Instead of wearing a belt around the waist, wear it just below your bust. This will create curves and minimize your waist.
ATHLETIC SHAPED BODY TYPE
You may be this body type if…
You’re not particularly curvy
Your shoulders and hip measurements are nearly the same
Your weight is fairly evenly distributed throughout your body
Dressing Tips
If you don’t have natural curves, you can use clothes and accessories to create them. Wear a belt at the narrowest part of your waist to accentuate it. Choose empire-waist and wrap dresses.
Wear tops that end at the mid-section of the hips. Enhance your shoulders and bust line with ruffled or pleated tops, and choose accessories that add volume to your upper part.
Choose underwear that provides good breast support and makes your waist more defined.
Peplum jackets, tops, dresses, and skirts will create the illusion of an hourglass shape.
