So today, I chose to include 'dressing for your body shape' into my blog. I fee like a lot of girls are unaware of their body shape and therefore don't dress to fit their body shape. Now, im not saying that if you are a certain shape you should wear a certain type of clothing - Of course you can! This post is to try and help you bring out your body shape and as a result feel a bit more confident! Below is an image to try and figure out your body shape.
Hourglass
Celebrities with hourglass shapes include: Kelly brook, Nigella Lawson and Kim Kardashian. The hourglass figure is seen to be very feminine with a full bust and hips with a smaller waist.
What to wear: To really accentuate your beautiful curves, wear fitted clothing that pull you in at the waist to really give you a beautiful look. This may include figure hugging dresses, pencil skirts that tuck in at the waist, as well as tailored jackets if it's for an evening.
What to avoid: Try to avoid anything that is baggy and will therefore covering your gorgeous curves. However, you don't feel up to wearing something tight and fitted. Try wearing a baggy jumper with a pair of jeans that show off the shape of your legs. Crazy patterns can also hide your curves with the illusion of the pattern. Statement bold pieces really work great.
Celebrities with apple shapes include: Jenifer Hudson, Drew Barrymore, and Catherine Zeta Jones. Ladies with an apple figure have broad shoulders, slender legs and a less defined waistline.
What to wear: Opt with a sleek line that skims your stomach, as well as tops with V lines to pull your shoulders back in proportion to your slim hips.
What to avoid: Try to avoid short jackets that will put emphasis on your top half and more so, your shoulders. highlight your gorgeous pins with a flattering dress or skirt.
Pear
Celebrities with Pear shapes include: Beyoncé, Rhianna, and Jenifer Lopez. Pear shapes are the most common body shape in Britain. Ladies with pear shaped bodies usually have narrow shoulders, a slimmer bust, and curvy hips and bums.
What to wear: Wearing bright colours can look statement as well as drawing attention to your gorgeous body shape. Statement jewellery on your top half will also complete the look. It may also be fun to experiment with party dresses that have sleeves and collars to again bring emphasis to your top half. As well as this, halter necks can balance out the wider bottom half. Layering garments on the top half can also maintain that balance.
What to avoid: Avoid flared jeans that will draw attention to your bottom half and therefore give the illusion that your body is out of balance.
Athletic
Celebrities with athletic shapes include: Taylor swift, Miley Cyrus and Kiera Knightley. Athletic ladies have a slender frame from shoulder to hips.
What to wear: to create curves, wear A-line skirts that flow out from the waist, as well as peplum tops that broaden the hips. A narrow belt will also help to give shape to a simple shift dress.
What to avoid: Avoid detail around the hips if you are wider.
Strawberry
Celebrities with strawberry body shapes include Jessica Simpson, Dolly Parton and Renee Zellwegger. Strawberries are the opposite to pear shapes with a full bust and wide shoulders slimming down to a narrow waist and hips.
What to wear: Fully skirted dresses with colour on the bottom half. V necks also will bring out your top half.
What to avoid: Try to avoid anything with ruffles especially on the top half as this will draw attention to your top half. Minimise the use of accessories on top however, swap this for a pair of statement shoes.
