How To Dress Up According To Your Body Type?

Dress not only covers your body but also provides protection against harsh weather. They also showcase your sense of style through its colors, prints, cuts and designs. Picking an outfit which looks perfect and trendious, doesn’t mean that it would look best on you. This is only because you’re unaware of your body type, so before selecting any kind of dress, you need to know which shape is yours? This will help you flaunt your dream dress beautifully.

We all have distinct body figures, and we must embrace them optimistically. To determine your body structure you simply need to measure your vitals, which are your shoulders, bust, waist and hips. This helps you to figure out your built up shape and what clothes will sit adorably and proportionately upon you. An outfit must be comfortable and enhance your looks even better than before. A basic long sleeve mini dress can be customized in such a way that it can compliment any body shape.

Women's bodies are classified into almost five types, which have their own pros and cons. No body type is perfect and perfectly looking models' bodies also fall in any one of these categories. This article aims to guide you to pick an outfit that looks good and you feel great wearing it:

1-      Apple body shape

This body shape is also known as an oval or round shape which has prominent features of broad shoulders, large bust, fat accumulation on the midriff section and smaller hips. Your waist line appears heavier than the lower part of your body. If this is you, your focus must be on flaunting your legs and taking away the attention from that fat concentrated part of your body. To make your legs more visible, wear ultra-high waisted skinny jeans, flared bottoms, palazzos. A long sleeve mini dress with some dark colors will highlight your legs and cover your upper body smartly.

A-line silhouettes and deep v necklines creates an elongated illusion of the torso. Opt for floral prints, flowy tunics, embellished jackets that add a layer to shift the focus. Strapless, off-shoulder styles are also exciting options for this type of body structure. Just avoid skin hugging dresses and tops, closed button shirts, low rise pants, horizontal lines and boxy styles too.

2-      Pear body shape

Another common name for this body type is triangular shape. In this your body outline shows clearly that your hips, thighs are visually bigger and broader than the upper part of your body. Pear shape is opposite to the apple shape. Your legs are more muscular and fuller than your bust and shoulders.  Thanks to Kim Kardashian and other celebs, this body is a rage now. It’ll turn the heads of every woman and man. Flaunt your hips while making a right balance of your body through clothes.

You usually have a curvy waistline with slim upper body and cunning lines. In clothes, preferably wear long lengths like in shirts, pants or maxis. A short skirt covering wide hips just looks like a lamp shade! Pleated shirts, A-line dresses, flared and fluted tunics are good ones to build and balance the body. For your upper body, select some ruffled tops, wide boat-shaped necklines which can bring some drama and interest to your upper half. Crop tops, layered outfits, bold colors and prints are your answer. Your neckline with scarves and necklaces can also give volume.

3-      Hourglass body shape

This body type is least common but most balanced of all with proportionate body parts and with well-defined midsection. It’s to die for body type, rare like a hot pearl. You must be flaunting your body and curves with dresses sitting well on you.

Skin hugging cling dresses are best for this body shape. Your waistline must be in the limelight, so try to wear dresses that cinch out there. Wear embellished belts that can be narrow and wide both, depending on your own choice. You can even wear skinny trousers, pencil shirts, crop tops, high rise pants, jumpsuits, fit and flare style all will go best with it. Avoid any loose tops or bottoms, boxy clothes which will hide your best asset; your waistline.

4-      Rectangular body shape

These bodies are recognized by appearing straight up and down! Showing fairly uniform measurements with an almost similar waist line. This is the most common body type, mostly dresses are designed to fit a rectangular frame.

Rectangles have a choice of whichever part of their body can be  enhanced. They can wear statement collar tops, embellished neck lines, belts, busy prints, crew cowl tech tops to flaunt upper body. Similarly, when focusing your lower, wear high rise pants, pleated skirts,  peplums, two piece loungewear suits , all will give soft and curvier silhouettes. All can go well with this body type.

Conclusion

Some people assume that they can only wear a specific type of clothes, while some just wear clothes because they are trending without considering their body type. You’re open to your choices but you must experiment with your wardrobe because many times you would be pleasantly surprised by it. Everybody is unique, so accept it confidently!
