Body shape

 

Wedge:

Your best asset:   Your legs!!

Your fashion goals:  Accentuate your lower body while softening your shoulders and upper body.

Pear :

Your best assets: Shoulders, torso and flat stomac.

Your fashion goals: Emphasize your waist and arms, add volume to your shoulders and upper body and minimize your hips.

Apple:

Your best asset: Those legs!

Your fashion goals:  Elongate the torso, show off your legs and use fashion to create the illusion of a waist.

Rectangle:

Your best assets: Your arms and legs  and you don’t have to minimize any body features.

Good 🙂

– Wear a good supporting bra that will lift our bust and give you a more defined waist.

– Bring attention to your shoulder and neckline, wear designs that bring the eye to the centre by wearing wider and lower necklines.

– Extend the shoulder past the thickest part of the arms.

– DO wear a good bra and showcase your bust.

– DO wear fitted dresses.

– DO wear a belt at the waist to enhance your hourglass shape.

– DO try wrap dresses.

– DO go for high-waisted skirts to show off your hips.

– DO pick thin, lightweight styles and fabrics.

– DO wear skinny or straight leg jeans.

 

 Bad 🙁

– Don’t hide your curves with baggy clothing.

– Straight shapes that hide your waist.

– Fussy styles and details that create additional volume around your bust, tummy, thighs e.g. dropped sleeve lines, pleats, high-waisted styles, hip pockets.

– High necklines that cover up your cleavage and décolleté e.g. turtle neck.

– Boxy jackets, or double breasted styles, narrowing leg lines or wide/short sleeves which finish near your bust.
