Clothing Tips to Flatter Your Body Type

Every woman is beautiful, unique and special. They come in various shapes and figures. Almost all women want to look great and feel their best which is only possible if they dress in a way that will flatter their body type. Here, I have discussed a few guidelines that will help you dress in a manner that will enhance your specific shape and make you look great.

 

If you have an Apple-Shaped Figure

 

• Invest in blouses that greatly fit you. Make sure they are not too tight. Go for wrap-around tops, they will look great on your body type.
• Wear jackets that have long wide lapels.
• Go for V-neck tops or collared shirts. Experiment with light and bright colors for your shirts, tops and blouses.
• Always wear dark-colored pants and skirts to hide your body in your middle.

 

If you have a Pear-Shaped Body

 

• Black tops, and blouses would work best for your body type. Choose tank tops, or sleeveless t-shirts. Try different looks that catch the attention upward.
• Avoid dressing that is clingy. Wear patterned shirts and bright colors. If wear dresses and skirts then they should fall at your knee.  
• Pants with a low rise are a great choice for pear shaped women. It is advised not to opt for pants that have side pockets as they will accentuate your hips. Wide pants will draw attention away from your thighs.

If you are Plus Size

 

• Wear clothes that fit you best. Clothes that are too loose can add extra bulk and will make you look larger and heavier.
• You can go for patterned shirts if they match your body size. Always choose vertical stripes that are balanced to your body size to draw the attention up and down instead of side to side.
• Go for monochromatic color schemes. If you have a smaller waist then you can accentuate it with a belt.

If you have a Boyish Figure

 

• For this body type, wearing ruffle dress, fitted blouses, and spaghetti straps tank tops to bring attention to your curves, bust, neck and shoulders.
• Invest in clothing that embodies your waist. You can experiment with several types of belts that will ultimately accentuate your curves. Different types of patterns, hues and textures look good on you.
• It is recommended to go for clothing that makes you look taller. Don’t go for cropped jackets and t-shirts.
• When it comes to bottoms, skirts will look great on women with boyish figure. Avoid fitted corduroy boot cut pants and skinny jeans. However, you can choose straight leg pants.

All in all, no matter what body type you possess, love your body and dress in a way that best flatters your body type.
