What's your type?
Did you know that architecture is not only important for building skyscrapers
anymore? For all of us the overall shape of our body creates the basic
framework of the clothes we wear. That’s why in order to shine, it’s important
to identify those areas where some help may be required. Clever camouflage will
definitely help you choose more flattering pieces and save you a few
embarrassing missteps. We can’t forget that our bodies are a sort of ever-changing
temples, where gravity, time and genetic love to play in. The good news is that
clothes are great at accentuating the positive and eliminating the negative,
once it’s properly wore according to our conditions, creating illusions and practical
wardrobe solutions. Trust me; getting dressed is a lot easier when you know
what pieces work best for your body shape. Here’s a quick classification:
·
Hourglass: this figure is characterized by ample chest, a narrow waist and full
hips. Hourglass shape is very feminine so you need to stay away from baggy
clothes or oversized cardigans that may make you look heavier than you actually
are. Bring out your best with wrap dressed, waist-cinching belts and flared or
wide-leg jeans.
·
Pear or Triangular: A larger hip measurement than bust
measurement; shoulders and torso and narrower than the hips and thighs. You can
work that womanly figure by adding more shape and structure above the waist.
Balance out your curvy bottom half with bold bright tops or those with large collars,
lapels or sleeves. Avoid pencil and tube skirts.
Apple, Diamond or Circle: Usually tend to gain weight around the
midsection without a well-defined waist line. One strategy is to direct the
attention away from the stomach area to another attractive features such as
your fabulous legs or breast, avoiding adding volume round our middle. Stay
away from shorts and pleated or tiered skirts and go for empire line and longer
length top. Try low-ish necklines to draw the eye upwards!
·
Rectangle: Balanced bust and hips with little waist definition. This straight up
and down figure doesn’t have a particular area to minimize, so you can get away
with more things than most. You can bring out your best with styles that fit
snugly at your middle but flare at the bottom or structured coats to cinch the
waist to make you look curvier.
