Dressing yourself may be stressful and can leave you fed up and exhausted. One way to make dressing up a more pleasant and satisfactory experience is to know your body shape. Body shape is all about proportion and understanding what fashion trends work for you as well as which don't work for you. Every woman should know and embrace her body shape. Even though we are all different, beautiful and unique, our body shapes are generally placed into five different categories: pear, wedge, rectangle, apple and the hourglass shape. You might fall into one category, or you might be a blend of two or more categories. You should keep in mind that your body shape is not the same as your body type. For example, a slender girl can share the same body shape just as a short woman can share the same body shape as a tall woman so exclude your height and your weight and strictly focus on SHAPE.
- 1.Pear Shape
Ah, the classic pear shape that celebrities such as Kim Kardashian and Eva Mendes share. Women who are pear shaped have nice, rounded lower bodies and defined waists. Their hips are often wider compared to their shoulders.
- Best assets: shoulders, torso, and a flat stomach
- fashion goals: Emphasize your waist and arms, add volume to your shoulders and upper body and minimize your hips.
Women with pear shaped bodies should focus on minimizing the appearance of their hips and drawing attention upwards. Try wearing tight tops with loose bottoms,and add a belt to emphasize your waist and make it pop. Strapless tops bring attention to the upper body and shoulder pads really add definition to your upper body while leveling your shoulders to your hips!
- 2.Wedge shape:
- Best assets: legs and narrow waist
- Fashion goals: Draw attention to waist line and legs and to soften the appearance of shoulders
Women with wedge shaped bodies are usually blessed with stunning legs! Try to show off your legs by wearing pieces that hit at least above your knees. Avoid straps at the ankles for they make your legs appear shorter! Aim for tops that soften the look of your shoulders and draw attention toward your waist line.
- 3. Rectangle shape
Many celebrities share the famous rectangle body shape such as Miley Cyrus, Ariana Grande and Kate Hudson.
- Best assets: Petite
- Fashion goal: Create curves where they don't exist.
Women who share the rectangle shape don't necessarily have any curves and are petite. Aim for a sweetheart neckline as well as tops with ruffles and folds. Experiment and have fun with colors and accessories. Decide which part of your body is your favorite and highlight it.
- 4.Apple shape
Women who share the apple shape really do have "more to love." Celebrities who share this body shape include Eva Longoria and Jordan Sparks. Women with the apple shape have narrow hips when compared to their upper body which includes a short torso.
- Best asset: legs
- Fashion goals: show off legs and use fashion to create an ideal wait line.
Aim for shorts and shoes such as pumps! Draw attention to your legs and make them POP out. Aim for V-neck tops for they make your torso appear elongated. Focus on using belts for the small areas on your waist.
- 5.Hourglass shape
Ah, the famous Marilyn Monroe hourglass shape! This shape is classy and really womanly. Some celebrities who share this shape are Beyoncé Knowles and Scarlett Johannson. Women with the hourglass shape have similar portioned shoulders and hips along with a tiny waistline.
- Best Assets: CURVES!
- Fashion goal: show off your curves in the right way.
Avoid baggy clothes, the point here is to show your curves off. Invest in tight dresses that wrap around your body and belts to highlight your tiny waist. Show off your hips by aiming for high waisted skirts and tight skinny jeans that fit properly. Avoid clothes that cling on to your skin! Your clothing should be well fitted while showing your curves off, not trashy.
Embrace your beautiful shapes! You are all exotic and unique and I hope my fashion tips helped!
