How to dress for your body shape ?

Dressing for your body shape can help you highlight your best features and create a balanced and flattering silhouette. Here are some general tips for dressing according to different body shapes:

1. **Hourglass Shape:**
   – Emphasize your defined waist as it's your most prominent feature.
   – Opt for fitted tops and dresses that highlight your curves.
   – Wrap dresses and belted styles are particularly flattering.
   – Choose bottoms that show off your hips and thighs, such as pencil skirts or flared pants.

 

2. **Pear Shape:**
   – Highlight your upper body to balance out your hips and thighs.
   – Wear tops with interesting necklines, patterns, or colors to draw attention upward.
   – A-line skirts and dresses can flatter your lower body while not clinging to your hips.
   – Dark-colored bottoms can minimize the focus on the hip area.

 

3. **Apple Shape:**
   – Look for clothing that defines your waist or creates the illusion of one.
   – Flowy tops that drape loosely over your midsection can be flattering.
   – V-necklines elongate your upper body, drawing attention away from the midsection.
   – A-line or empire waist dresses can complement your figure.

 

4. **Rectangle Shape:**
   – Create the illusion of curves by wearing belts at your natural waist.
   – Tops with ruffles or embellishments can add volume to your chest area.
   – Choose skirts and pants that have some shape and structure, like flared or bootcut styles.
   – Consider adding layers and textures to add dimension to your figure.

5. **Inverted Triangle Shape:**
   – Balance your broad shoulders by drawing attention to your lower body.
   – V-neck or scoop neck tops can be flattering, avoiding high-necklines that accentuate shoulders.
   – Bottoms with patterns, bright colors, or flared cuts can add volume to your hips and thighs.
   – Avoid shoulder pads or heavily embellished shoulder areas.
