How to look nice regardless your body shape?
When you go out shopping, what you choose to wear will tell others who you are. After all, clothing is a way to express yourself… at least this is what experts will tell you. Do you enjoy trying on different clothes at your favorite shop? Is it an equivalent of an addiction? For some women, it’s an addiction. For other women, finding that personal style can be overwhelming.
You might have seen a picture on a magazine where the clothes grabbed your attention. You’ve, no doubt, imagined what it would be like to wear something similar to it. You want to look your best wherever you go especially in public places. You go shopping for the very outfit and join the lines of people waiting to try on their own style of clothing.
You get in the dressing room and peel off your regular clothes. You begin to think you should have gotten the next size up. You get into the outfit, not really sure if you look good in it. After all, the lighting can play tricks on your mind. You choose to ask a friend for guidance. What do they think about the outfit?
You already know the answer but you ask your friend the question anyway, “how does it look?”
When you have a body, not that of a super thin model, it can be bothersome finding clothes just perfect for you. You might look for clothes that hide your curves rather than enhance them and your personality. When you are overweight, either by a little or a lot, the only way to combat your size and shape is to exercise and eat healthy.
However, it doesn’t matter what your age is, what height you are and what weight, you can do several nifty tricks to accentuate your features with your clothing.
What shape or mold does your body fit into? Do you look like an apple, pear or do you have big thighs? Here are the some ways you can enhance your features based on how your body is shaped.
Apple Shaped Body
When your body is shaped like an apple, you can dress in short skirts and sleeveless shirts in order to bring attention to your limbs. You don’t want these outfits to cling to your stomach area so be aware of tight fitting clothes. Don’t tuck in your shirts either.
Keep away from outfits that are high in the waists. Skirts that are below your waist will not draw attention to your midsection. If you want to wear a dress, then wear something that’s free flowing and not body fitting. However, if you want to wear clothing that’s fit for your body, you should wear control top tights.
Pear Shaped Body
Do you hate messing with straight skirts? If so, you can go with the A-line skirts. If you want to wear trousers, avoid ones that have pleats. Choose a dress that is designed to make you look small on top. For instance, an outfit with thin straps or low neckline that will narrow out over your hips.
Try going for solid colored dresses. When you are shaped like a pear, stripes and patterns don’t do you any justice. If you have blue eyes, find a color that highlights that feature. If you have green eyes, choose a green colored outfit and so on.
Big Thighs
When you have big thighs, go for a skirt that flows freely or the A-line skirt. Don’t choose a tight fit dress. Make sure you choose a skirt that will divert the attention from your thighs. One way you can do this is to purchase a knee length dress. Longer jackets worn over a skirt can also help you with this problem. A long jacket will accentuate the your body’s lines and give the impression that you are skinnier than you are.
It may be nice to wear short skirts but if you have big thighs, these are not the outfits for you. Stay with long skirts or skirts that are just above your knee. However, you don’t want ones too short and you don’t want ones too long. Keep in mind that a skirt that’s two inches above the knee works best for most women.
Six Little Known Dress Tips To Keep In Mind
- First, your shoes and tights should match. When you do this, your legs will look longer and thinner. If your skirt or dress is print designed, pick a color for your tights and shoes.
- Second, go with just one color. When you wear only one color, top to bottom, it streamlines your body. You don’t have to dress in solid colors all the time but always choose colors that closely resemble each other. Another helpful hint about colors: dark colors always make people look thinner.
- Stay away from horizontal strips. It’s best to stay with vertical strips so that they make you look skinnier and taller. Diagonal strips will take away focus on your problem areas.
- You can wear a jacket to make you look slimmer. It also helps to highlight outfits while it hides your flaws.
- Are you afflicted with a chubby neck? Pick out dresses or shirts that are V-necks or have scoop necklines. These outfits can trick the mind to believe the face and neck are longer and leaner.
- If you want to attract attention to your face and away from the rest of you, wear matching earrings and a necklace.
