Fashion is not one-size-fits-all or one-look-fits-all, and understanding how to dress for your body type can make all the difference in looking and feeling confident in your clothing. While every body is unique, most can fall into or between the following categories:

• Hourglass: Balanced bust and hips with a defined waist.
• Pear: Wider hips and thighs with a smaller/narrow bust, shoulders, and waist.
• Apple: Fuller bust and midsection with narrower hips and legs.
• Rectangle: Balanced bust and hips with little waist definition.
• Inverted Triangle: Broader shoulders with narrower hips and legs.
• Athletic: Toned and muscular physique with broader shoulders and narrow hips.

There are styling tips and tricks to accentuate your best features and flatter your shape. Fashion should be about empowering you to embrace your individuality and show your style with confidence. Here is our little style guide to help you:

Hourglass Figure:
If you want to highlight your waist, emphasize your curves with fitted styles.
Wrap dresses, belted tops, and high-waisted bottoms are ideal for accentuating your hourglass shape if you want that look. You could also opt for tailored pieces that skim your curves without adding bulk.

Pear Shape:
If you’d like to balance your proportions draw attention to your upper body.
Choose tops with details such as ruffles, embellishments, or statement sleeves to add volume to your shoulders. A-line skirts and wide-leg pants can help create a more balanced silhouette by minimizing the appearance of wider hips.

Apple Shape:
Choose tops with V-necks or scoop necklines to elongate your torso and draw the eye upward.

Empire waist dresses and tops can help create definition under the bust while skimming over the midsection.

Rectangle Shape:
If you would like to create some definition, add structured styles.
Opt for peplum tops, belted dresses, and pencil skirts to create the appearance of a more defined waist.

Layering with jackets, cardigans, and scarves can also add dimension to your silhouette.

Athletic Build:
Showcase your toned physique with fitted styles that highlight your muscular frame.
Look for tops with cut-out details, racerback styles, or asymmetric necklines to add visual interest to your shoulders.

High-waisted bottoms and tailored blazers can help create curves and add definition to your waistline.
