Fashion for Different Body Types:

1. Pear-Shaped Body:

Salutations fashionable people! In today’s post we are going into details on styles appropriate for individuals having a pear-shaped body. This kind of body has a small torso as opposed to broad hips, legs, and buttocks. If you identify yourself with this figure type just keep calm because there’s a friendly guide here which tells you everything you need to know about enhancing your natural attractiveness via fashion techniques.

Choice of pear body-shaped Empire-waist gowns should be considered. It can create a well-balanced figure in the shape of an hourglass. A-line dresses are also good for women with this body type since they skim over the hips and gradually flare out, concealing any unwanted lumps. High-waist pants and skirts can do wonders for you as they emphasize your smaller waistline and enable you to balance your upper and lower bodies’ size differences. Moreover, these styles offer extra support and comfort.

Slim-fitting shirts made from fabrics like cotton or silk could make one appear leaner around the mid-sections, while emphasizing the waistlines in particular cases. The best would be to choose blouses that have buttons extended up to the waistlines; thereby elongating the torsos.

2. Apple Shape Body Type:

The apple-shaped body is identified by a wider torso compared to shoulders or hips, having a larger waist than both hips and shoulders. Beautiful legs and arms are typical traits for this group of individuals who may carry weight around their midsection areas. When you embrace your apple-shaped body, knowing how to dress it is bound to improve your self-esteem as well as fashion sense.

To dress for an apple-shaped body has its own challenges. It can be difficult to find clothes that fit your figure, flatter you and make you feel comfortable at the same time. But with some fashion sense, styling tips and know-how it is possible to rock any outfit smoothly.

One of the keys to dressing an apple-shaped body is to wear skirts that bring attention away from your midsection and towards your legs. Choose skirts and dresses that make your legs look more defined yet still create a balanced silhouette. A-line skirts and dresses which flare out from the waistline are especially flattering for apple shapes.

The right neckline for a top may alter everything. V-necks and scoop necks elongate the torso thus drawing attention upwards thus creating an illusion of smaller stomachs. Clingy fabrics should be avoided because they emphasize parts you might not want people noticing. Flowing fabrics like chiffon, silk or jersey are good choices for women with this shape.

Another alternative for apple-shaped bodies is straight-legged trousers. They cover the hips and thighs in a flowing silhouette, adding length to the legs. Wear them with high heeled shoes which will make you look taller and more elegant.

Curves should be celebrated; do not shy away from accepting your body shape. Instead of hiding behind baggy clothes however you need to select styles that flatter your figure.

For a woman with an hourglass shaped body, she should always look out for an outfit that emphasizes her waistline. Clothes should either cinch at or use belts to draw attention or emphasis on the curves you already have.
