PEAR SHAPE

WEDGE SHAPE

 RECTANGLE SHAPE

 APPLE SHAPE

 HOURGLASS SHAPE

Pear body shape –  Your lower body is wider than your upper body — in other words, your hips are wider  than your shoulders. Your bottom is rounded and your waist is well-defined.

Your best assets: Shoulders, torso and flat stomach

DO & DONT’S:

  • DO look for boat neck tops, square and cowl necklines.
  • DO wear strapless dresses to show off arms and even out proportions.
  • DO try a-line skirts, which camouflage wider hips.
  • DO opt for pointy-toed shoes to elongate your legs.
  • DON’T wear clothing that draws attention to hips and thighs, such as cargo pants or print skirts.

Wedge body shape –  Also known as the inverted triangle, this body shape features a broad chest and wide shoulders which are large in proportion to a narrow waist and hips.

Your best asset: Your legs

DO & DONT’S:

  • DO wear tops that call attention to your waistline.
  • DO experiment with high-waisted styles.
  • DO look for clothes that create the illusion of a waist
  • DON’T wear spaghetti-strap tops.
  • DON’T wear boat neckline tops.

Rectangle body shape – The waist, hip and shoulder widths are similar and are usually on the slim side. Slender rectangles have an athletic look about them.

Your best assets: Your arms and legs — and you don’t have to minimize any body features.

DO & DONT’S:

  • DO wear tops with collars, ruffles and details to flatter your chest.
  • DO wear a good bra that will make the most of what you have.
  • DO wear dresses with ruching. Cinches on sides are ideal.
  • DO have fun with colorful bottoms… feel free to experiment.
  • DON’T wear overwhelming styles.

Apple body shape – Most of your weight accumulates above the hips, which are narrow. Your back, ribs and shoulders are broad, and you may feel wider than other body types.

Your best asset: Those legs!

DO & DONT’S:

  • DO go for v-neck tops to create the illusion of a longer torso.
  • DO wear a bra that offers good lift and support.
  • DO conceal tummy bulge by wearing empire tops and dresses
  • DO wear shorter skirts to show off your legs and draw attention away from your midsection.
  • Dont opt for figure hugging dresses.

Hourglass body shape – Your shoulders and hips are similar in proportion and set off by a tiny waist.

Your best assets: Curves, curves, curves!

DO & DONT’S:

  • DO wear fitted dresses.
  • DO wear a belt at the waist to enhance your hourglass shape.
  • DO wear skinny or straight leg jeans.
  • DO go for high-waisted skirts to show off your hips.
  • DON’T hide your curves with baggy clothing.
