Are you on a crazy weight loss journey? Do you have a hard time finding the proper clothing to compliment your shape? Are you top heavy with large breasts or bottom heavy with voluptuous hips?
No worries!
There are some tricks and tips to enhance and flatter your figure as you’re transitioning.
Figure #1 The Apple (mid section heavy)
1. Wrap tops, deep V and scoop necks
They give the illusion of a smaller waist and draw the eyes vertically downward.
2. Straight-legged and high-waisted pants
Straight-legged pants help properly proportion your upper half with your lower half, and the high waist gives a girdle effect helping to flatten and smooth out your tummy.
Whatever you do AVOID:
-A lines
-Overly shapeless blouses
-Busy patterns and details
Figure #2 Pear Shape (smaller on top, heavier on the bottom)
1. Dark-colored pants, front seams, fluted skirts, low-waisted thick waistbands
These type of pants have a slendering effect and minimize the look of your bottom.
2. Slight A-lines, tunics, and 3/4 length jackets
These help to proportion the shape of your body and draw attention from the difference in your top and your bottom.
Whatever you do AVOID:
-Faded jeans
-Overly tight tops
-Pants with pocket details
Figure #3 Hourglass Shape (curvy with a smaller waistline)
1. Simple prints, thick belts, wrap tops, scoop neckline
They highlight your waist and accentuate your curves.
2. Bootcut and skinny leg pants/jeans
They flatter your figure and make your legs look longer.
Whatever you do AVOID:
-Ruffles
-Lapels
-Busy patterns
-Boxy shapes
Figure #4 Athletic (Straight up and down)
1. Bust detailing, wraps and rouching, sleeveless
These kind of tops help make you look fuller up top and accentuate toned arms.
2. High waist skirts, bootcut low-rise pants
These kind of bottoms enhance your curviness and accentuate your waistline
Whatever you do AVOID:
-straight cuts
-boyfriend jeans/pants
