Much like our unique handbags, not all women are made alike. Getting dressed isn’t always the easiest task, especially when clothing sold in retail chains don’t come in such standard sizes. Here’s how we’re debunking the ‘one size fits all’ approach so we can make your mornings and shopping adventures a bit easier.
1. Apple shaped (thicker around the middle): To even out the proportions of your body, look for clothing that fit a bit looser around the midsection but tighter everywhere else. Choose a pant that leans and lengthens, with a slim-cut fit. Dresses should have a bit more structure, such as a shift dress, to help slim and conceal any trouble areas. Tunic tops or empire-waist tops will always flatter your gorgeous figure.
2. Pear shaped (larger at the bottom): Choose bottoms that slenderize your thighs while still creating a longer and leaner silhouette, such as a dark colored wide leg trouser or pant. Look for jackets with a tailored fit to even out the lower half of your body. A-line, flowing skirts that taper in at the waist will help highlight your figure in all the right places. Tops with wider neckline will also help balance our your proportions.
3. Hourglass shaped (curvy): Lucky you! You have the body every woman dreams of, but that doesn’t always mean it isn’t still tricky to get dressed in the morning. Keep an eye out for clothing pieces that work WITH your natural curves. Pants with higher waists draw the eye to your teeny midsection. Keep an eye out for wrap dress and v-neck tops with diagonal lines to flatter your curves. A classic pencil skirt will slim and maintain the appeal of your womanly figure.
4. Rectangle shaped (straight up and down): We like to call you blank canvases. You have the ability to create whichever shape you please, but you do have to put some thought into transforming your youthful figure. Try to create illusions of curves by trying on slim fit boot-cut pants and fitted jackets that create fuller hips and a narrow waist to help provide gradual shapeliness. To help accentuate your femininity, look for tops with ruffles and fluttery sleeves to not only create a smaller waist, but also add some volume to your shoulders and bust area. Flouncy skirts with shape and body will help you create that hourglass figure.
Remember, it’s all about understanding and embracing your natural curves. From there, simply work on balance and accentuating your favorite areas!
