BODY TYPE HOURGLASS : YOUR BEST LOOKS

24/9/2013

The Hourglass has the curves that are the very essence of what makes a woman womanly. The boobs are large, a small and short waist, big hips and generous thighs. For the Hourglass it is all about showing what you've got.

Casual clothing may be challenging for the Hourglass figure, and it is usually more flattering to wear smart clothing. This is definitely a dress-figure, and the more tailored and fitted the better. Go for classic styles that won't overwhelm the figure, and supportive fabrics that hold everything in place. Retro dresses are perfect.
Anything to large or bulky will do the Hourglass no favors.

There is no need to over-adorn the Hourglass chest, so keep it simple. A simple chain with something at the end or a brooch is more that enough.
Be careful with large prints. The print on the dress directly above is as big a print as the Hourglass figure can bear without being swamped.

Curvy, cute shoes, with either peep toe, rounded toes, or bows, best compliment the Hourglass curviness. Pointed stilettos are not for you. If you like an edgier look, go for edgy colors and details, but don't forget a heal that can balance the boldness of your curves.

With such great legs the Goblet doesn't even need to wear heals. A curvy shoe with a study heal is the best look for the Goblet.

Stripes work well on a Brick, because varying the pace of stripes can create an optical illusion, adding shape (The wrong use of stripes will broaden you).

BODY TYPE PEAR : YOUR BEST LOOKS

12/9/2013

8 Comments

The classic Pear has small boobs, long waist, flat tummy, great arms, saddlebags and heavy legs. For the Pear it's all about balance and drawing attention to your positives.

Draw attention to your top half with eye-catching pieces or details. But on the other side, balance... whatever!
Big bottoms and hips are great, so if you feel comfortable just flaunt it (in something firming). Remember to get the cut right to show of how slender your top half is (to make your curves even more impressive). The rule is: The fitter you are, the more leeway you have when dressing.
If you feel your top half looks too scrawny, a faux fur wrap or vest, gilets, sequined tops, big necklaces, puffy sleeves, big earrings and layering, is good for making your top half look bigger.

Many pears have a long top half and shorter legs. So the legs must be elongated as much as possible with the help of hemlines cut in the right place, and the right shoes. Don't crop your legs. Nude chunky, straight heels with platform elongates your legs, and the same goes for black shoes if your wearing black pantyhose and so on.

In the winter, straight boots will cover any issues with the calves, when wearing dresses or skirts. If possible, match the color of the boots with your pantyhose, to not crop your legs.

Pears can get away with almost any style up top, but is best in something that widens the shoulders and shows of the slenderness of the top half. Not many can get away with cut of arms and a tight neck-opening. But the pear has the arms and top half for it.

Blouse with puffed sleeves and eye-catching bow detail on chest.
The Pear is quite flat-chested, so delicate fabrics like silk and chiffon, add femininity to your figure.

Boat neck sweater widens the shoulders and the visible band on the hemline cuts your top half, making your legs look longer.

Not all pear-shaped can wear tight things on their lower half, but it can be done, if done right. Shoulder enhancing firming dress balance shoulders to hips. Knee length hides any knee and thigh issue. Big necklace draws attention upwards and make your top half look bigger.

T-shirt sleeved shoulder enhancing peplum top fitted in waist (the little skirt on the top breaks up the length of your but, so it doesn't look long but popping), balance the bottom heavy figure when wearing a tight skirt.

Casual dress with A-line skirt and belt in the waist. Knee length is the best shorter length (Mini skirts are difficult for the pear-shaped woman. If you must, wear firming pantyhose or leggings).

Strapless dress with fitted top and full skirt. Long A-line or full skirts are your most flattering look. Make sure the flare starts from your hips and not over or under. The long skirt elongates the legs and covers any leg issue.

Fitted top showing of your slender top half and arms, with a long A-line skirt. Long A-line or full skirts are your most flattering look. Make sure the flare starts from your hips and not over or under. The long skirt elongates the legs and covers any leg issue.

Not many can wear such a deep plunge neckline, but the pear has a flat tummy and a small elegant boobs. The gathered waist and stripes emphasize the curviness, and the plunge points the line of vision in the right direction. The long skirt elongates the legs and covers any leg issue.

Since the pear has such a flat tummy and larger hips you can get away with a jumpsuits with wide legs. Paired with high heals elongating the legs, because your top half is usually longer than your legs. Darker colors are more slimming, but lighter colors make you pop.

Wide-leg trousers with flat front (Zip in the side). Avoid pockets and make sure the pants are wide enough to not cling to your thighs. Wide pants are a great way to get away with printed or bright colored pants, for the bottom heavy. Dark colors are a safer bet though. Big earrings balance your bottom half.

Mono colored outfit elongates your figure. Max length pants in firm forgiving material with matching colored boat neck top. The sweater cuts the body in half, giving you control over where you want the legs to begin and back end, elongating your legs.

shoulder enhancing jackets, shrugs, cardigans and tops in general are great for the Pear-shaped. It balance the shoulders and draws attention upwards.

Eye-popping jacket.
Bright,light colors and eye-catching materials are great on the top half of the pear-shape.

The best way for Pear to wear a suit. Wide-legged trousers and a fitted blazer, in a soft feminine look.

Belted coat puts focus on the waist.
When the coat is open it slices the thigh vertically.
