The image of any woman depends on how she presents herself. Much here is determined by the choice of the appropriate wardrobe. A dress is an extremely feminine wardrobe item that can hide imperfections in the figure and clearly highlight the advantages of the silhouette. In order for it to fit perfectly and make you attract the admiring glances of others, you need to be able to correctly select a piece of clothing to suit your own figure.
How to choose a dress according to your body type
Stylists constantly give a lot of recommendations on how to choose the right one and not make a mistake in the style, so that the product perfectly emphasizes the silhouette and adds attractiveness and elegance to the image. But it’s quite easy to get confused in the advice if you don’t objectively evaluate your appearance before making a choice.
There are 5 types of female figures:
- "pear";
- "apple";
- "triangle";
- "rectangle";
- "hourglass".
They have their own characteristic features that distinguish them from each other. Every girl should have a clear idea of what type of warehouse she belongs to.
Important! Before buying any item, you should objectively evaluate your own appearance in the mirror and highlight all the existing advantages and disadvantages. This way, the girl will be able to clearly imagine which details need to be draped, and which ones can be accented with bright details.
"Pear"
Women with narrow shoulders and wide hips look very feminine, provided that the waistline is clearly defined and the stomach is flat. It is quite difficult for such women to choose clothes in online stores, since usually the hips are a size or more larger than the shoulders and chest.
Emphasis should be placed on the upper body, rounded chest and thin waist. It is possible to emphasize it with a wide belt or a beautiful openwork insert into the product. In terms of style, it is better to choose straight or slightly flared models that will successfully drape overly wide hips. Stylists often recommend choosing contrasting products with a dark bottom and a bright top, which is decorated with prints, embroidery, rhinestones or other decor.
Important! A woman's height, weight and build should be taken into account when choosing a dress in a store.
"Triangle"
The type of appearance, often called athletic, with broad shoulders and narrow hips, without a clearly visible waistline, the stomach is usually flat. To make a quality choice, you need to focus on the girl’s breast size.
If the breasts are lush and large, fitted dresses with a voluminous hem are suitable. The bodice of the dress should be calm, without unnecessary decoration, and beautifully fitting the chest. The bottom part can be flared, pleated or pleated. Tulip dresses are popular today.
The straight and flared cut of the dress is suitable for small breasts. Products with a print on the bodice are also good, allowing you to slightly highlight this part of the body.They will emphasize femininity and add elegance to the chosen look. Shoes that are well matched to your outfit will be a great addition and will help you adjust your bottom.
Important! You need to choose dresses with a V-neck to further emphasize the femininity of the outfit.
"Apple"
The hips and chest line are approximately proportional, while the waistline is not pronounced, and the belly is present. Representatives of this body type usually have thin legs. It can be quite difficult for women with a similar body type to choose dresses on their own, but stylists dispel all the myths that you can’t wear dresses with a belly.
The following styles of products are suitable for such girls:
- trapezoidal;
- "balloon";
- straight cut;
- multilayer;
- models flared downwards;
- "case";
- with a corset.
Owners of this type of silhouette will benefit from corset vertical seams, wide belts and various inserts along the waistline, a geometric pattern that can visually correct the figure.
Important! An apple girl should avoid overly tight dresses.
"Rectangle"
Features of this silhouette are proportional hips and shoulders, but the waistline is usually not pronounced. The stomach is usually flat. But the recommendations for this type of figure are suitable for women who want to hide their protruding tummy with a dress.
Wide belts and belts are an excellent option to properly correct this type of appearance. They will help to clearly define the waistline, dividing the upper and lower parts of the body, correctly placing accents.
Models with a peplum, “tulip” or geometric pattern at the waist, as well as products in contrasting colors, where a dark bottom is combined with a lighter top, are suitable.They will help to outline the waistline and make the image more feminine.
The right shoes will only help you create an elegant look. Heeled shoes or stylish flat ballet shoes. For the cold season, it is better to choose ankle boots or wedge boots.
"Hourglass"
Many girls dream of having this type of appearance. Well-defined thin waist, rounded hips and chest. What more could you ask for? But girls with this type of figure also find it difficult to choose the right style of dress.
Stylists recommend not stopping the flight of fancy and choosing models of a wide variety of cuts. The choice should be made only according to the woman's height and preferences. A straight or flared cut, a fitted dress or a peplum piece will be a great option. The color of the item can also be different, depending on the color type of appearance.
Important! Designers recommend making bright accents on a thin waist. This always adds femininity to the set and makes it attract attention.
A clear understanding of your own type of appearance will help you form your taste preferences and choose the right dress. It is worth listening to the advice of designers and stylists who will help you make the right choice.
