Find The Perfect Dress For Your Body Type!
Have you sometimes felt that the clothes that you wear somehow look different from your friend wearing it? That’s because of the difference in body types! Learning about our own body types is important because it helps us to understand our own body, its strengths, weaknesses and eventually helps us in styling in a way that flatters us.
Apple 🍎
You may have an apple body type if you have an undefined waist area and shoulders and bust that are larger than the hips. This body type is also often characterised for its ‘top-heavy’ trait and slim legs. Some examples of celebrities who share this body type with you is Adele and aespa’s Ningning!
How do I dress an apple body?
If you have an apple body type, it is important to dress in a way that adds fullness to your bottom without drawing too much attention to the waist. Hence, the perfect dress for you will be a flowy dress with loose waist definitions such as the classy Marx Lantern dress and comfy Viva romper dress! Both dresses draw attention to the slimmest parts of your body like your arms and legs and gently flare out at the bottom, giving your lower body an illusion of balance with your upper body. Sweet-heart necklines of these dresses also help to embrace and highlight your bust area, which is the key trait that an apple body has over other body types
Pear 🍐
You may have a pear body type if you have defined waist, and hips that are wider than your narrow shoulders and bust. This body type is known for being ‘bottom-heavy’ in contrast to the Apple body type. Fun fact, my favourite celebrities, Mamamoo's Hwasa and Beyonce have the same body type as you!

With its princess-like puff sleeve and drop hem details at the bottom, Parisa will help you to emphasise your slender shoulders, bringing out the feminine and delicate side that you have! Similarly, Bella will also let you flaunt your feminine and slim neck and shoulders while covering the legs comfortably.
Inverted triangle 🔻
You will most likely be an inverted triangle body type if you have a broad shoulder and chest that is wider than your hips and bottom. This sounds very similar to the Apple body type but there is a difference between these two types - apple carries weight at mid section (bust & stomach) while Inverted triangle tends to have slim, defined waist and carry weight at top section (shoulders). Some notable celebrities with this body type are Blackpink's Jennie and Lisa!

This body type tends to be common among athletes as well. Famous celebrities with this body type are Natalie Portman and Yoona from SNSD.
