All women are different shapes and sizes, which can make it difficult to find flattering clothing as high street stores tend to stock in terms of this seasons fashion ‘must have’, which often only suits a small range of body shapes. Therefore you need to be aware of what kinds of clothing suit your individual shape when you go out shopping, so that you can mix and match styles from different shops and ranges to create outfits that flatter you and make the best of your assets.
Pear Shape
Big hips and a small top half equals a classic pear shape, and you will need to stay away from clothes that emphasis your hips and thighs, so avoid tapered trousers and opt for tailored and flared designs that are nice and wide at the bottom, as these will help balance out your legs and make then seem much slimmer.
Apple Shape
The classic apple shape is big around the waist, so avoid any tops or trouser with horizontal stripes, as these make you appear even larger around the waist, and if you do have a big tummy avoid very tight fitting tops as these can be very unflattering to flabby waists. Opt for tailored shirts and blouses that nip in just under the chest and then flare out again at the waist to give you a smoother waistline.
Hour Glass Shape
The hour glass is a classic feminine shape – big on the top, small at the waist and then big around the hips, and can look very sexy if matched with the right clothing. Pick tailored shirts that will show off your shapely waist, but make sure they flare out a little at the bottom so that they don’t look tight across the hips. Like the pear shape pick trousers that are long and wide at the bottom to balance out larger hips and thighs.
