DRESSING TO SUIT YOUR
B O D Y S H A P E
HOURGLASS
SHAPE
(TRIANGLES OPPOSING,
FACING IN)
Hourglass body shape is often the most
coveted body type because it features
equal measurement of the bust and hip. The
properly-balanced body dimensions allow you
to throw in different styles. With a chiseled
body and a narrow waist, trail your curvy
outline and don’t be afraid to flaunt your very
feminine shape to the fullest. And if you want
to achieve this body, exercise is the key!
Add some drama to your well-balanced figure
by picking clothes that fit your curves well.
Because you have a fuller bust, plunge tops
and high neckline dresses look good on you.
Peplum blouses and wrap tops as well as
body-con dresses and fitted jumpsuits, help
you emphasise your curves. And since you
have thicker hips, you can wear almost any
kind of bottom, ranging from high-waist pants
to straight-cut trousers to pencil skirts. And to
draw more attention to your figure, you can
add a belt to the getup.
In a nutshell, knowing and loving your body
type is the first step to appreciate the trends
and love fashion. Remember, style becomes
useless without the proper fit. So, accept your
body shape and don’t aim to be like others. Be
your own kind of beautiful. From there, you’ll
see that fashion is truly an art a fascinating way
to express your style and be comfortable in
your own body.
