Dressing for an Apple Shape

For a body figure that is an apple shape your upper body is larger than your lower half. To dress this body shape a good piece of advice is to wear a tunic style top with a belt around the waist. Or you can wear an empire waist shirt that fits around the waist right underneath the bust.  Keeping eyes focused on one of your best asset instead of on your stomach, which you might not be so keen on people looking.

Dressing for a Rectangle Body Shape

Having a rectangle body shape means your body shape is quite bland and very straight. To help create shapes use items that help divide your body shape.  Fashion style tip is to create a waist line wear a thick belt. To create shoulders wear puff sleeve tops. Example:  wear a puff sleeve shirt, pencil skirt with a thick belt to help divide your top from your bottom and to create a waist line.

Dressing tip for Pear Shaped Bodies

Fashion tip for pear shaped figures: if you are pear shaped you will more than likely have a great neck line and shoulders. To help balance out your upper body with you lower body wear a wide neck shirt such as a scoopneck or boatneck. This will widen the shoulders balancing out your bottom half.

Dressing tip for hourglass figures

For the women who are an hourglass shape, a fashion tip is to accessorize with a belt. By wearing a belt it will show off your well-defined waist line. Remember it is great to draw attention to one of the smallest parts on your body!

Finding the perfect jean can be very hard.  For myself, I like jeans for the fact that they are jeans. I am not a huge fan of the jeans with 50-75% spandex. Every time you bend over or squat the more they expand.  For the various body shapes, I have explored and found some of the best jeans.

For hourglass shaped figures: the best jeans are relaxed and roomy through the hips and thighs.  Try to stay away from skinny jeans. Skinny jeans tend to push everything that does not fit properly into the jeans up and over the waist line. Making the hour glass figure look fatter and larger, the jeans below  are best suitable for hourglass shapes.

For pear shaped women who have a bit more "junk in the trunk" Apple Bottom jeans or relaxed fit works best.

For women who are ruler shaped skinny jeans or stright legged jeans are best.
