How to Dress Better for your body type

Fashion is more than having a good taste and style—it’s all about balancing silhouettes too. Knowing your body shape and the styles of clothes that accentuate your best features makes a big difference. So, if you have an inverted triangle body

🍐 One of the most common body types for women is the pear shape, a term you’ve probably heard before. But what is a pear shaped body exactly?

Classic pear shapes are characterised by having their hips and bottom wider than their shoulders and bust. If you have a slimmer upper body but tend to carry your weight around your hips and lower half, you’re likely a pear shape.

* Wear bright colours and prints on your upper body

* Wear darker colours on your bottom half

* Choose tops with detailing such as ruffles or embellishments

* Select tops and dresses with statement sleeves

* Opt for off-the-shoulder numbers and Bardot necklines

⏳ The hourglass body shape characterised by hip and bust measurements nearly equal in size, with a narrower waist measurement. This makes the body appear like an hourglass shape.

* Invest in a good bra

* Choose clothing that shows off your curvy silhouette

* Opt for simple, clean garments, which don't clutter up the silhouette

* Avoid drawing attention to the hips and shoulders in order to maintain the natural balance of your body's silhouette

* Steer clear of straight cuts and boxy styles, that hide the waist

* Avoid shapeless and loose clothing as well as eye-catching embellishments

🚪 The rectangle body shape ischaracterised by equal bust, waist and hip measurements. The lack of curves makes the body appear like a column or a rectangle.

* Invest in a good push-up bra to lift your chest

* Wear well structured clothes

* Play with different cuts and shapes to create curves

* Use prints, textures, and details strategically to create interest

* Wear bright colours on your upper and lower body - but not around the waist

* Keep away from shapeless, oversized, and too large items

The upper and lower parts of the rectangle body are well-proportioned and create a balanced silhouette. The focus of this body shape should be on defining the waist by breaking up the rectangle

🔽 Women with an inverted triangle body have broader shoulders than the hips, with little to no waist definition. Their body follows the shape of a “V”, and shoulders may be straight, squared, or athletic-looking.

DONT

* Don’t wear clothes that create more volume on the shoulders.

* Don’t wear wide and straight necklines

* Don’t wear loud patterns and heavy detailing around the neck and shoulders.

* Don’t wear tight trousers and narrow hemlines

DO

* Wear clothes that balance broad shoulders

* Create the illusion of a defined waist

* Draw the attention to your legs.

* Choose styles that add volume to hips and leg line.
