Every body shape has beautiful attributes. An hourglass has an amazing waist, Pears have exceptional curves and inverted triangles and apple figures have extraordinary legs. Dressing for your body type will instantly improve your image. I have compiled a list of tips that will teach you how to look fabulous no matter what your body shape may be.
Golden Rules
Identifying your body type will help you find garments that are designed specifically to flatter your shape. There are 3 critical factors that influence your physical appearance, no matter what your body type happens to be.
#1 Style is all about proportions
Looking and feeling good comes down to correctly dressing your body proportions.
Highlight your best assets and focus on balancing your shape. By dressing to suit your body you will avoid drawing attention to any “problem areas”. Use bold colours and accessories to highlight and dark colours to minimize.
Light garments will enhance your best features. If you want to draw attention to a certain part of your body, wear white of another light shade in that area. Patterns can also be used to accentuate your features.
Sequin shoes are great tools for drawing attention away from any body parts you are not confident about. If you have great legs, why not slip on a bright pair of heels?
Style Goals:
– Make your lower and upper body parts appear in line with one another.
– Create a defined waist, use belts and embellishments to perfect this look.
– Achieve an overall balanced silhouette by pairing clothes that are in proportion to your body shape.
#2 Perfect Fit
Clothes that fit correctly are important when it comes to creating a lean and smooth silhouette. Make sure your clothes fit your body measurements. Baggy garments and clothes that are too tight can make you appear bigger than you are.
3# Confidence
Confidence is the key to letting your personal style shine through. When you are selecting clothes, choose garments that compliment your personality and lifestyle. Your attitude can make or break your look.
Knowing your best colours and how to use them to your advantage will give you a healthy glow and a boost in your self-confidence.
The most important rule of fashion is to focus on the parts of your body that you like. Having self-confidence has a lot to do with your personal style! Great self-esteem will help you to embrace and define your own individual image.
