what's fashionable for you and
what's not?
Women love to dress up.
Shopping is a hobby and
accessorising is a joy not
understood by many
especially men. However,
even how much you'd love to
wear that dress you saw on
the window of one of those
boutiques you walked by you
know it might not look good
on you. Some dresses might
look good and fit for you but
some of them don't? It feels
kind of stressing when you
badly want to dress up, yet
you end up dressing bad.
Knowing your body shape
It seems dressing well is
proportional to your
knowledge of knowing
whether you are dressing
right according to your body
shapes. Probably you have
heard this before. No two
women can be the perfect
mirror of each other; even
twins have their differences,
and all women come in
different shapes. So if you
want to dress well and dress
best, here's how you will be
able to know your body shape.
The apple body shape women
are wider than any other body
types because of the weight
collecting in the upper torso
mostly. Their best assets are
their legs.
The hourglass body shape
women or what they call the
"curved women", has all the
right curves in proportion with
a tiny waist. Their best assets
are their curves, of course.
The wedge body shape
women are those who have
wider shoulders, broader
chest and a narrow waist and
hips. Their best assets are
their long legs.The pear body
shape women are those who
have wider hips than their
shoulders, rounded bottom
and a well defined waist. Their
best assets are their flat
stomach, shoulders and lower
torso.
The rectangle body shape
women are those who are
usually categorised as slim,
giving them the athletic look
because of the almost similar
width of their shoulders, hips
and waist. Their best assets
are their lean and long arms
and legs.
Dressing according to your
shape
So now you have an idea of
what your body shape is. Your
only task now is to dress
according to that shape and
flaunt your best assets. So
here they are:
An apple body woman must:
• Go for V-neck tops for
a longer torso illusion.
• Wear belts to
accentuate your waist.
• Conceal bulge by chic
empire tops and dresses.
• Wear flared and boot
cut jeans or shorter skirts.
• Go for
monochromatic looks for mix
and match.
An hourglass body woman
must:
• Wear fitted dresses
to flaunt off curves.
• Try wearing belts
whether wide or thin to
accentuate your hourglass
shape.
• Put on wrap dresses.
• Show off your hips
with high-waist skirts.
• Skinny jeans are in
for you.
.• Simple styles and
lightweight fabrics is best for
you.
If you're a pear body woman
you must:
• Try A-line skirts.
• Wear pants and
dresses wide.
• Go for light coloured
tops and dark coloured
bottoms for the illusion of
slimming down.
• Even out proportions
by showing off your arms.
• Elongate your legs
with pointy shoes.
A wedge body woman must:
• Wear wide leg pants
and full skirts.
• Wearing bright
bottoms is catchy.
• Avoid spaghetti
straps and boat neckline tops.
• Wear clothing that
accentuates your waist.
A rectangle body woman
must:
• Wear scooped neck
to create curves as well as
collars, ruffles and details.
• Create a lean long
with a long jacket

bottoms.
• Wear dresses with
cinches on the sides.
The next time you visit the
boutique, you will know
exactly what dresses to look
for, and what to try on without
skimping on fabric that is too
loose or too tight.
Remember fashion is just a
tool for you to be more
beautiful because you are
already beautiful.
