THE DO’S AND DON’TS OF DRESSING FOR YOUR BODY TYPE

When it comes to dressing for your body type, you should keep a few things in mind. First and foremost, you should dress for your body type and not for someone else’s. Secondly, you should keep in mind that not all fashion trends are created equal and that some may not be flattering for your body type. Here are a few dos and don’ts of dressing for your body type with these things in mind.

THE DO’S:

Accentuate your best features: When you know your best assets, you can dress to show them off. Don’t be afraid to show them off in a sleeveless top if you love your arms.

Find the right fit: Clothing that’s too tight or too loose will never look good, no matter your body type. Make sure everything you wear fits well, and don’t be afraid to get alterations if something isn’t quite right.

Play with proportions: One of the best ways to flatter your figure is to play with proportions. For example, if you’re petite, you can pair a cropped top with a high-waisted bottom to create the illusion of a longer torso. Or, if you have a fuller figure, you might want to try an A-line dress that cinches at the waist to give you a more hourglass shape.

Consider your colors: Believe it or not, the colors you wear can also have an impact on how you look. If you want to look slimmer, for example, stick to darker colors like black, navy, and charcoal. Or, if you’re trying to hide a problem area, opt for a print or pattern that will distract the eye.

THE DON’T:

Overdo it: Just because you have a great figure doesn’t mean you have to show it all off. In fact, sometimes less is more. If you’re not comfortable showing a lot of skin, don’t force yourself into something you’re not comfortable with.

Wear something that’s uncomfortable: Again, comfort is key when it comes to clothes. If an item of clothing is too tight, too loose, or just plain uncomfortable, you’re not going to look or feel your best.

Follow trends blindly: Just because something is on trend doesn’t mean it’s going to look good on you. If you’re not comfortable in an item of clothing, don’t wear it just because it’s in style.

CONCLUSION:

No matter your body type, all that matters at the end of the day is how comfortable you are with the dress you are wearing and whether you are feeling amazing & confident donning it.

So, whatever dress you choose to wear, make sure that it makes you feel like the strong, beautiful, confident woman that you are!
