You've all had one of those day when we ask ourselves, this doesn't look right?! And in most cases, you're right! We've all had one of those days, even Audrey Hepburn and Coco Chanel. Here are some helpful tips for all the beautiful ladies with beautiful curves out there, it doesn't matter what you body shape is, there are ALWAYS many open options for different body shapes.
If you have body image shape of a pear:
Here are some DO'S
- Wear a straight, boot cut or slightly flared leg.
- Wear dark colors on the bottom.
- Wear A-line or straight skirts.
- Wear Push-up bra to balance your top half
- Wear Wrap dress - the perfect solution for the different-sized tops and bottoms
- Focus on great tops –bright colors and tailored or fitted tops help accentuate the waist.
- Look for fitted (not tight) T-shirts. V-necks, turtlenecks and open collars all call attention to the face, which is always a good thing.
- Wear anything that tapers at the calf -- you'll only make your thighs appear larger.
- Tuck in tops or overly define your waist like wearing a tight belt. (the smaller your waist looks the bigger your hips will look)
- Wear big cargo pockets or excessive zippers around the hip area. You also don't want to wear jeans that have pockets with flaps on the bum, as they will add to your profile.
- Wear patterned or light-colored pants or bottoms, or jeans that are extremely faded in the thighs and rear.
- Wear pencil skirts - again it draws the eye up to the problem area.
If you have a apple shaped body image:
Wrap around tops look best on you, fitted tops also look great, but nothing to tight. Look for tops with v necklines; this will pull the eye away from your shoulders, while accentuating one of your best features! Because apples tend to have larger breast always make sure your bra provides the support you need! The right bra can make a big difference when it comes to enhancing your figure. An empire, or raised waist also brings the eye up and away from problem areas. A cami, or tank top, with a matching jacket is always a good way to go! Look for blouses that have a cinched waist, or belted jackets, this will give the illusion of a smaller waist, and slim down your tummy. Jackets should fall right below the waist to mid-thigh, never at the widest part of your hips. Wear jackets and blazers open for the best vertical lines. Darker solid colors work best for your tops. If you want a top with some pattern, choose tops that are darker around the midsection, and with the pattern at the top to bring the eye up toward your chest and face, while diverting attention away from your middle.
Bring It On!
Play up those nice legs with shorter skirts, by shorter I mean 1 to 5 inches above the knee. A-line skirts also work well, as it will give you the look of a waist and more of an hourglass figure. You want to look for jeans that have a flat front, and a rise that is lower than your natural waist. Look for jeans that have back pockets with flaps, this will help give some curve to a flatter rear. Lighter washes and/or jeans with fading will add shape to your thighs. Boot-cut and flared legs will give you a longer leaner look. Textures like chiffon and silk are great options for your skirts, and you can go crazy with bolder colors and patterns.
This shape looks best when wearing simple designs, rather than excessive flounces and gathers. When looking for items to add to your wardrobe, always think simple style.
Stay Away!
Stay away from tops that are too baggy and have puffy or full sleeves, this will only make your shoulders and arms look bigger.
Stay away from bold patterns, large checks, and light colors above your waist. Wearing any top with too many patterns all over will make you look big and wide on top and that is one thing you never want to do.
Stay away from bottoms that are too tight, as this will also make you look bigger on top. Never wear pants that have a pleated front, this will only add inches to your tummy!
