How to Choose Dresses According to Your Body Type?

If your New Year’s Resolution is to dress according to your body type then here’s the most basic advice: do not think of jumping directly to buying runway looks. Why? Because at first you need a fashion consultation, to know what suits you and the body type you have. Only then will you be able to choose the right stuff. It does not really matter if you are fat, slim or skinny, if you know what works for your body type, you can always look good and pull off different dresses.

• Hiding A Big Waist

  Putting on weight especially in the middle can be troublesome for your health and can affect your entire look. The solution is not to go for baggy clothes, but to wear bell bottoms or wide leg pants instead which will create a slender effect.

  Always pick soothing or light colors especially to cover the middle area of the body. Say no to low heels and short buttoned jackets. Similarly, when it comes to accessories avoid wearing long necklaces that end around navel, in fact select short and delicate necklaces to keep the neck and head in focus.

• Balancing A Heavy Bottom

  Do you hate finding jeans of your size? Or is it better to get it stitched because Levi’s does not have perfect jeans for you. Well, that’s surely a matter of concern if you love tracking contemporary fashion trends. For creating a balance between your upper and lower body, show off the top area and wear shirts and t-shirts with broad necks.

  Horizontal stripes might also do the work by giving a broader look to the upper body which would automatically balance the bottom. Search for dresses that enfold the waist and cover your hips with a flare to hide the heaviness. As far as shoes are concerned, go for heels but no wedges or ankle strap heels as they will make your legs look shorter.

• Dressing Broad Shoulders

  Slim legs and broad shoulders? V-neck shirts would do the trick along with full length pants. You can even try out tank tops with a bit of flare at the end. Even with this body type, long dresses covering your legs would give a good shape to the body.

• Fashion Tips For A Curved Body

  If you have a perfectly balanced body, not too heavy on the top or bottom, then go grab knee cut dresses, short jackets, belted tops and dresses that show off your waistline. Avoid bell bottom or pants that flare too much at the end. Normal jeans and t-shirt will also suit a curved body.

If you’ve always wondered why some dresses don’t work for you while they look great on your friends, hope this fashion consultation would have helped you sort out why. Let me know if you found this article useful.
