Ever asked yourself why the dress you saw in the store looks exceptionally lovely on the mannequin but horrible on you? Well, the answer is simple; this dress doesn’t suit your body type.
Hourglass, pear, apple, rectangle, and inverted triangle; these are all body types, each having its unique features, and in order to look your best, you should know your body shape. This way, you’ll be able to dress accordingly.
Here is your no-fail list to choose the right clothes for your body shape.
#1 Hourglass
If you’re blessed with an hourglass body type, then make sure to wear clothes that highlight your waist.
Choose tight skinny pants over wide-legged ones. Also, have a short skirt in your wardrobe; this will definitely help you show off the beauty of your legs.
#2 Pear
Pear-shaped? Don’t fret! You just need to choose clothes that define your waist while hiding the full area of the hips.
Go for clothes with embellishments or embroideries on the shoulders. This will give your upper body a wider look, maintaining balance. Additionally, fuller clothes at the bottom; such as mermaid-cut dresses, or straight-legged jeans would look perfect on you.
#3 Apple
You don’t have to be upset because for not having remarkable curves. The good news is that you can make them yourself!
All you need to do is avoid clothes with soft fabrics, as well as tight jeans, as they can easily show the inconsistencies in your body parts.
Make sure to choose darker clothes that do not have many patterns or embroideries. To avoid dullness, you can always add a pop of colour with accessories.
#4 Rectangle
Most athletic women are known for their rectangle body type, which lacks the curves. But did you know, that with following only a few tips, it’s actually easy to look more feminine?
Choose dresses with pleats, and wide skirts with layers to give your bottom a larger size and to highlight your waist. Also, it’s better to avoid wearing patterned clothes.
#5 Inverted Triangle
This body type is distinguished by the width of the shoulders in comparison to thighs. That’s, of course, annoying for some women.
To highlight the beauty of your body shape, you have to choose light fabric clothes in bright colours, so you don’t add any extra width to your shoulders. Wearing high-waisted jeans would also give your thighs a perfect look.
