APPLE body shape…

Clothing that will best flatter your body shape will be empire line and longer length tops will flatter your figure. Go for low-ish necklines to draw the eye upwards.

PEAR body shape…

Clothing you that will bring out your curvy side are balance out your curvy bottom half with bold bright tops or tops with large collars, lapels or sleeves.

Clothing that you should avoid should be tube, pencil skirts/ dresses and fishtail skirts, especially tight-fitting ones will only emphasise your hips and behind.

HOURGLASS body shape…

Clothes that will show your body shape off best are wrap dresses, waist-cinching belts and flared or wide leg jeans will work wonders. Not necessarily all at once.

Clothing you should totally avoid are shapeless baggy jumpers will hide your wonderful waist. Unless you add that magic belt!

Body shapes overview

There are many different body shapes but there are four main ones which are Pear, Apple, Hourglass and Rectangle.

Apple body shape

Apple body shapes often carry most of their weight around the mid-section of their body and may also have amazing legs or boobs, the best way to emphasis this is by wearing the best clothing to show off the best bits and avoid emphasising your bad bits.

Rectangle body shape

Rectangle bodies are often straight up and down, they don’t really have many curves but there are ways you can emphasis your body by the clothes you were to make you look like you have more curves.
 

Pear shape

Pear shapes are often bottom-heavy and are bigger around the hips, bottom or thighs and usually have a flat stomach. This is the most common body shape of women.

Hourglass body shape

            Hourglass body shapes are usually a lot curvier, they usually have bigger breasts and bottom which contrast a smaller waist, people are very lucky to have this shape and need to learn what clothes to wear and not to wear baggy clothes which will hide your figure.
