When shopping for women’s clothes, there are many different styles and fashions to choose from. From skinny jeans to short skirts to high heels, deciding which style looks best can be a daunting choice.
Most women want to dress to flatter their figures. The following are some of the most common body types and flattering, fashionable women’s clothes that look the best.
• Pear shape. Pear shapes have full hips and thighs and a narrow or slender upper body that typically includes a smaller bust or thin shoulders. Accentuate this shape by wearing wide or straight leg pants that don’t cling to the legs. Tapered jeans or boot cut pants only accentuate the hips. You can broaden the shoulders and bust line by wearing cowl necks or a scarf.
• Round shape. Also called “apple shape,” this body type is usually full-figured from the waist up, with slender hips and legs. The best clothing for this body type includes tops that make you appear longer, like V-necks or tunics. Skirts should fit above the knee by at least an inch, and jeans and pants should have a flat front.
• Hourglass. This body type is very proportioned, with a defined waist and hips highlighted by shoulders in proportion. This is the easiest body type to dress, and includes playing up your assets by wearing belts to show off your waist and pick shirts and tops that fall to the waist.
• Rectangle. Also known as a “boyish shape,” this body type is very balanced with no real defined curves. The goal is to create a more defined waist. Using wide belts with tops and dresses will provide your waistline a great look.
Knowing the best types of clothes for your unique body type will help you pick the perfect outfits as you shop.
