Dressing for your body type is about creating balance and highlighting your best features. Understanding your shape – whether it's apple, pear, hourglass, rectangle, or inverted triangle – is the first step. For apple shapes (broader shoulders and narrower hips), aim to create definition at the waist with empire cuts or by belting looser tops. V-necks can also help elongate the torso.
Flattering Silhouettes
Pear shapes (wider hips than shoulders) benefit from drawing attention upwards with details on the shoulders or neckline. A-line skirts and dresses that skim over the hips can create a balanced silhouette. H
ourglass figures (balanced shoulders and hips with a defined waist) can emphasize their curves with fitted styles and wrap dresses. Rectangle shapes (shoulders, waist, and hips roughly the same width) can create the illusion of curves with peplums or by cinching the waist. Inverted triangle shapes (broader shoulders than hips) can balance their proportions by adding volume to the lower body with fuller skirts or wide-leg pants. Ultimately, the goal is to choose clothing that makes you feel comfortable and confident, enhancing your natural shape rather than trying to change it
