Fashion For Different Body Types
Ever found yourself wondering why certain outfits don’t seem to flatter you as expected? Well, it’s probably not because of you, but the clothing pieces you’ve chosen! In this blog, we will explore how different clothing types complement specific body shapes, helping you make informed choices for your next fashion endeavour.
Hourglass Body Type: Highlight Curvy Features
If your body resembles an hourglass, balance your curvy features with a flattering wrap dress. Accentuate the waist and enhance curves. Consider our Kenia Slim Fit Tie Knot Midi Dress, a piece made of soft cotton material featuring a round neckline, ribbon tie and side slits. It comes in 3 neutral colours - Black, Teal, Almond. This dress is perfect for work as well as brunch date with your girlies. Match it with our Danielle Weaved Cardigan or Chella Tie-Knot Cardigan. This dress is also great for layering. Women with hourglass body types have a lot of options when it comes to flattering clothing. Generally, it is recommended to avoid oversized, shapeless pieces and opting instead for pieces that will highlight their curvy features and slimmer waist.
Rectangle Body Type: Enhancing Your Waist
Of all body types, the rectangle body type has the most options in terms of flattering clothing. However, it is recommended to avoid boxy and shapeless clothes as they’re usually the least flattering for people with rectangle body shapes. You can opt for our Maelle Denim Skater Dress which balances the bust and hips with little waist definition. With the pleated skirt design, it adds volume and create the illusion of curves. The mini dress design highlights the legs and create a proportionate look! Coming in 3 colours - Rose, Blue, White, there is definitely something for everyone!
Round Body Type: Balance your Hips & Shoulders
When it comes to dressing a round body type, the key is to create the illusion of a waistline and to balance your hips and shoulders. Wearing a single colour from head to toe is one of the favourite tips for putting together a flattering outfit for someone with a round body type. You can opt for Maribelle Smocked Maxi Dress (upcoming) which features a smocked bodice and flattering flare dress silhouette. It comes in 3 colours - Grey, Pink, Blue. With the long sleeve, it hides away the arms.
Pear-Shaped Body Type: Less Emphasis on your Hips
Since women with a pear body type have hips that are wider than their shoulders, you want to focus on adding more volume to your shoulder line to create a more balanced silhouette. The idea is to pull the eye upward, toward your neckline so there’s less emphasis on your hips. You can opt for our Prairie Ruched Midaxi Dress featuring a ruched bust as well as puff sleeves, adding volume to your neckline! This dress comes in 3 colours - Pink, Blue, Grey. It is the perfect garden dreamy dress that you can have!
Inverted Triangle Body Type: Add More Volume to your Hips
The key to dressing an inverted triangle body shape is to add slightly more volume to your hips to balance your shoulders and bust. Along those same lines, you want to avoid adding any extra volume or width to your upper body. A halter neckline like the Franklin Tier Midaxi is the perfect dress for inverted triangle body shape. The halter neckline balances the shoulders and its tier skirt design brings volume to the lower body, balancing out the whole figure!
