Whatever your shape and size, if you find the correct fitting clothes, you can look and feel a million dollars.

The tips below help you understand which clothes are best suited for your body shape.

Athletic

Athletic build is best described as tall, broad shouldered, narrow hips, and long legs. In general most clothes will look good on you, and your only problem is finding clothes to fit your leg length.

Straight Body

Straight Body people have no waistline. Therefore you should avoid wearing clothes that draw you attention to that region, such as high waisted skirts and trousers. You should wear clothes with a drop waist, and a wrap dress would be a great look for you.

Hourglass

The hourglass shape is best described as having a small waist or curvy hips. Bigger hips need slim skirts and well-cut trousers, and if you have a large bust avoid high necklines. Scoop necks or V-necklines are recommended, and a cropped jacket or top will disguise your hips.

Apple shaped

Apple shaped people quite often have a small neck. If this is the case then V-necklines tops are recommended. The main rule is avoid anything that is figure hugging, and keep to items such as wide legged trousers or flared skirts with loose fitting blouses or jackets.

Pear-shaped

The typical UK body shape. Well-cut straight legged trousers or A-line skirts, worn with a longish loose fitting top’s are recommended for this shape. In the 80’s shoulder pads were recommended, however a nice flowing dress can look stunning.
