How to Dress For Your Body Shape

1. Pear Shaped Body Type

This is an inverted triangle body shape. When wearing a larger top half than the bottom, your shoulders are broader than your hips.  You also probably don’t have a lot of definition between your waist and hips.  Celebrity like Demi Moore have an inverted triangle body shape.

Avoid necklines like boat-neck or Bardot, big straps, halter-neck tops, big shawl collars, and larger patterns on your top half. Instead, go for items that accentuate your bottom half like an a-line skirt or wide-leg trousers. 

The best pair of jeans that work with an inverted triangle body shape would be the boyfriend jean.

2. Hourglass Shaped Body Type

An hourglass shape is defined by an equal size in hips and shoulders with a waist that is well defined. With this body shape, you still want to pronounce your waist, because that is the slimmest part of your body.  

With an hourglass shape, you want to avoid shapeless or baggy clothes that will overwhelm your frame and can even look lumpy.  Hourglass shapes usually come with a more busty figure.  If you want to be more modest or minimize your chest you can opt for a boatneck, or scoop neck and avoid high neck tops like turtlenecks. 

3. Apple Shaped Body Type

The apple shape, also known as the round body shape, is known for a larger upper body than lower body with no defined waistline. This body shape has a slim waist and great legs but lacks definition from the hips up.

This can be a difficult body shape to initially buy for, as the tendency is to buy things oversized to compensate for the broader top half. A proportional dressing emphasis will help this, and we will discuss that in the video below.

4. Athletic Shaped Body Type

With the rectangle body shape, you wear the same size in tops and bottoms, you don’t have an overly defined waistline, and have a straight shoulder line and hips.  It is also called the “athletic” body shape. Celebrity like Gweneth Paltrow have this female body shape.

Creating the illusion of a waist will help you with the rectangle body type. Belts around your waist, mid-waisted trousers, and belted jackets are all great options. You should avoid silhouettes that are too vertical- like a straight jacket with straight trousers which will give you little definition.  Softer fabrics can help you, as they look great belted and can draw your eye into your “waist”. 

Conclusion

Everybody and every body is different. If you’re not one of these shapes, it's ok! It’s all about mixing & matching until you find what’s best for you. I hope this content was useful to you!
