dress for your body type

its very important to know the colors and the shapes that will complement your body , i'm here to help you figure out the best way to do that.there are different body shapes, if you don't know whats yours check out the link bellow .



petite


petite woman can come in all sizes , its really more about height than weight , petite girls are usually around 5’4” or under . you have to be careful what to wear and always keep in mind that you have to elongate your lower half! 
stay away from :
baggy cloths ,long jackets , high waisted trousers , deep waist bands .

what to look for while shopping .
wear a skirt or a dress that is a couple of inches above the knee length.




  










 














black heels with black leggings or tights will  add length to your legs.

wearing black boots will elongate your legs and will  give a delusional height













invest in a good looking  comfy pair of heels ! i honestly think wedges are the best !




curvy 

 go for wide dark wide legged trousers that can be paired with tunic tops


from Debenhams

 color wise, try to match the bottom half with the top half
 focus on the shape and length, don't limit your self in black or dark colors to look slimmer

 pear shaped

 




 if you are pear shaped , congrats ! it should be easier for you to balance,the hour glass is the silhouette that everyone should be trying to achieve and you've got it . 


balance your top half with your bottom half , if you don't have a large bust , get a padded bra to gain the balance, break up your silhouette length wise as well as width wise.











 





  

dress and black skirt are  from asos



elongate from waist to ankle and wear heels where 
possible.


 

 

















 jeans and kaftan 

bracelets and a lot of bangles for styling




















 long jackets



















rock the 1930s tea dresses









 what to avoid !

pencil skirts , prints or horizontal stripes on bottom half










 + avoid

shrunken jackets , they basically cut your body into half's and the focus will probably be on unpleasant areas .




+ avoid

boxy trousers, these pants are done for girls with less hips , you already have them no need to emphasis last thing you want is to look plumpy



 














 + avoid

short skirts , light colors on your bottom half ,knickerbocker and high waists .


 skinny and tall :

 **large and tall : stick to one color but break up your lines with different textures and fabrics

 ruffles 

if you want to create the illusion of curves , go for a dress or a skirt with ruffles

bare arms and clean look will balance the ruffles
