Everyone of us comes in different shapes and sizes.As much as we’d love to have the perfect figure like the magazine covers exhibit,we don’t.Be honest with yourself,once you know your strengths and weaknesses,you will know what to hide and what to flaunt.
Your body shape can be placed in the following categories :
- Apple
- Pear
- Hourglass
- Rectangle
- Inverted Triangle
For the next upcoming 4 Wednesdays,we’ll be covering how to understand each body shape and how to dress fabulously for it.
APPLE
If you are the apple of someone’s eye then you’re pretty in proportion but tend to carry your weight around your mid-section without a well-defined waist.
You may also have fabulous legs/or bust so dressing is all about showing off those best bits and avoid adding volume around your middle.To bring out your best,the empire line and longer length tops will flatter your figure.
Opt for lowish necklines to draw the eye upwards.It’s best to avoid the short,boxy jackets and pleated or tiered skirts.
Celebrity Apples that you can also look up for outfit ideas : Angelina Jolie.Jennifer Hudson,Rebecca Malope,Oprah Winfrey and Queen Latifa.
Some wardrobe essentials to consider :
Bra that supports and lifts
Trouser Jeans
Peplums
Swing Tops
Knee length structured Pencil skirt
What not to wear?
Big puff jackets
Big shapeless garments that don’t show any waist or don’t use vertical layers
Bulky trousers with lots of pockets and zippers at the front
High necklines (you can wear lighter tops underneath a layering piece as shown in the top image)
Tight clingy T-shirts
PS.Dark Colours always work best at making you look slimmer!
