Enhancing your figure
How do you dress for your body type?
01 APRIL 2020
To enhance your figure, we advise you to dress according to your body type. Today we explain how to determine your body type and dress accordingly.
Determining your shape
To find out what kind of figure you have, there's nothing like observation. Stand in front of a mirror and look at your shoulders, chest, waist, hips and thighs.
For the rest, we leave you to follow our advice on our article dedicated to the study of morphology:
Showing off your assets with your clothes
Even if you have a particular body type (A, X, 8, V...), every woman has different assets to bring out. Take the dress codes that correspond to your morphology and adapt them to highlight your curves!
Shoulders
There are several types of shoulder: small shoulders, broad shoulders, square shoulders, round shoulders, sloping shoulders..
If your shoulders are narrower than your hips, you have small shoulders. So don't hesitate to add volume with shoulder pads and frills.
On the other hand, if they are wider than your hips, they will be more athletic and boxy. Trapeze jackets and kimono sleeves are ideal for you!
The bust
If you have a small bust, you can dare to wear a plunging neckline without it looking vulgar. Textured fabrics and pockets are also perfect for giving an impression of volume.
If, on the other hand, you have generous breasts, you can show them off to the full with light V-necklines. The most important thing when you have large breasts is to choose your lingerie carefully. Choose push-up bras with real support and wide enough straps.
The waist
If you have a large waist, make the most of it! Wide belts, high-waisted jeans and slim-fitting tops are your best allies.
Don't have a large waist? If so, use slim belts around your hips and go for low-rise trousers. You can also play with patterns.
Hips
A-line women have hips that are wider than their shoulders, so they want to balance their figure. Dark-coloured stockings are perfect for this! You can indulge yourself with flare, bootcut and boyfriend jeans and trousers, as well as the classic straight leg.
Stockings with pockets are perfect for adding volume to slimmer hips. We also recommend you look at push-up trousers and skirts with frills, lace and ruffles, which are ultra-feminine and great for your figure.
Thighs
Don't like your thighs, think they're too big? Choose skirts and dresses that will hide this part you don't like and highlight the rest of your legs. Add heels to lengthen your figure and you're done.
Those who love their thighs, on the other hand, can opt for slim or skinny jeans to show off their legs.
More than just your body type, highlight your personality and the parts you love so that you can take full responsibility for yourself every day!
