Dressing For Your Size

5 Clever Tips To Look Fabulous No Matter What Your Size Is

Everyone has figure differences.  This is part of what makes us unique.  The trick is to highlight your favourite parts and diminish the least favourite.  When you are planning to shop for the new season, be sure to keep your body type in mind. By following simple tips when shopping and dressing, you can easily accentuate the positive and downplay the body parts that you may feel aren’t so perfect to skyrocket your confidence.

1. Dress the best that you can

To successfully dress with style, you have to like yourself. Self acceptance is an integral part of living your best and next goal should be to dress in a way that flatters you, expresses you and makes you feel good, both physically and mentally. This is the actual way to get that change happen by nurturing yourself now.

2. The aim is a proportioned Silhouette

The expected body shape for women is hourglass type shape (8 or X). It is considered an ideal shape for women and proportionately balanced through breasts and hips with a small waist in between and long legs. The good news is that you can create an optical illusion of  a proportioned silhouette that will make you instantly look stylish and slimmer. It’s easy, just create interest where you want to draw eyes  to and take it away from everywhere else.

3. Use accessories and detailing to help, rather than hinder the cause

Accessories have incredible power to transform outfits from mundane to awesome in the blink of an eye. When dressing for your body size design of the garment can also make a difference such as princess seams, darts, ribbing, belting or patterns. 

4. Every outfit should have focus

Everyone fits into one of the typical body shapes in much the same way plant life can be categorized into trees, shrubs, cotyledons and seeds. Whether your body shape is round,  column or hourglass (different image consultants have varying sets of descriptions for body shapes)  get to know your body shape and more importantly, how you feel about it. 

5. Size is variable, shape is consistent

When it comes to style, one size never fits all. Thus, think its like a puzzle and you need to assemble  the right bits to complement each other. The correct clothing cut and style as well as outfit coordination help flatter the body figure no matter what size, making your physique well balanced and in proportion.
