Accepting & Owning Your Body

Not too long ago we thought the ideal body was to have thin and tiny typical model features. Now in todays trend it is all about having curves and filling in clothes showing our alluring lady features. There are many types of body features.. take a look and see which one is yours!

Apple shape includes of having a wider range of a torso, broad shoulders, a full bust, waist, and upper back. Overall though the arms, legs, and hips are much slimmer for apple body shapes.

WHAT TO WEAR:

-Pay attention to deeper neck lines because it’ll focus more on your bust and visually extend the upper portion of your body.

-Slightly fitted clothing and soft fabric such as woven will help reduce the “bulge” look around the tummy and waist.

-For bottoms denim is the safest way to go even with trouser cut, flared, wide-legs, or boot cut!

-Remember to focus on above the bust line and below the hip line

Pear shape spotlights the defined waist! Generally your hips and larger than your bust.

WHAT TO WEAR:

-definitely wear tops with fitted waist! off the shoulder or V/U necks works well!

-wearing puffed sleeves or shoulder pads will make the shoulders broader and your upper body balancing with the waist.

-for bottoms wide hems of skirt & pants are best!

-just always focus on the upper portion! exaggerate with slim fitted tops.

Hourglass drastically shows killer curves with a full bust, bottom, and a fitted waist.

WHAT TO WEAR:

-anything wrapped tightly to show your waist!

-pencil skirts or firm knee length dresses are a plus for the figure

-high waisted pants with a tight tank top will have the bust and hips focused nicely

-scoop necks or deep v necks work wonders

Rectangle body shape is having the same width of shoulder, waistline, and hips.

WHAT TO WEAR:

-long jackets help create that lean look

-a scope neck and sweetheart top

-rectangle benefit would be all types of pants would fit well with the body shape

Genetics is a huge factor when it comes to your body shape, if you cannot change it.. learn to accept and love it. Cliché as it sounds, there is no else like you so own up to it!
