Hi,I love this blog! Very well done as few! :)
I know that there's a list of the things that a body type can wear or not, but in some cases, there are clothes that aren't listed neather in "good for your shape" and nor in "never wear"; so, my question is: what type of body shape should not wear polo, v-neck, mid lenght trousers, 3/4 trousers, chunky sleeves, turtleneck, mid calf boots, high waisted shorts, dolman sleeves, flutter t-shirt, batwig sleeves,spaghetti straps, cowl neck, wrapped skirts, bubble skirts...and things like this? :D thanks for your kind attentions! kiss! :) <3

Hi, Jasmine. Thank you so much for that lovely feedback. Sorry for the late reply on this question.
I'll try to sum it up for you, by focusing on body parts. If you have really broad shoulders, or a large chest, a turtleneck will make your shoulders wider and chest larger (for example, Cello, Hourglass, Vase, Goblet, Lollipop, Cornet). So, if you don't want that to happen, stay away from turtlenecks. Spaghetti straps, will also make your shoulders look wider, and wide straps are better for breaking up a wide upper body (For example, Cello and Cornet). Also, if you have a large chest, but not enough balance in your lower body, or a lot of lower body, but not so much chest and shoulders, spaghetti straps can make the wide part of the body appear wider (Pear, Skittle, Goblet, Lollipop, Cornet, for example. Mid length trousers are best for those who want to show of their legs. If you have wider lower part, a cropped pant leg, will make your legs heavier (bottom heavy types). If you have long a great legs, cropped pants are no problem (Goblet, Lollipop, Column, for example). Wide sleeves is a way of creating more curve, so good for straight figures, or body parts that needs more curve (for example, the Lollipop, Goblet, Column, Brick.) If it's a poofy shoudler, that would add width to the shoulder, and would be good to build more width for bottom heavy types who need more on their shoulders to balance their lower half (For example, Bell, Skittle, or Pear). Mid calf boots, depends on the heal and shape, but in general, anything that cuts you off at the calf is best on people with slender lower legs, as it will shorten and widen a chunky calf. (So, best for Lollipop, goblet, Column, Cornet, and most difficult for Skittle, Pear and Bell. Personally, I think Cello, Vase, and Hourglass have enough balance to wear them too). High waisted shorts, are for bodies that don't have a short upper half and large chest, such as the Lollipop and Goblet. Other than that, I would say most look good in them. It's more about if they're fitted, flared and so on. If you have a long distance from your bum to your waist, it can make your bum look very long (sometimes as Brick, Pear, or Skittle problem). Other than that, people with slender or balanced upper to lower bodies, feel more comfortable in shorts, and people with bottom heavy figures, will avoid them, if they're not comfortable with their legs. Dolman and batwig sleeves are not the best look for anyone with wide shoulders or a large chest, or someone who needs to show of their upper body to balance their lower body. The people who should stay away the most in, Cornet, Brick, and Goblet. If the flutter t-shirt has the "poof" at the shoulder, look at poofy sleeves, if it's a peplum top, then I think everyone look good in a peplum top. More important is, if the waist is natural, high, dropped and so on. As that would have to be fitted to the body type. Also, what kind of sleeves and neck opening. Cowl neck is recommended for the Bell body type, to add curve on the top half, so if you need that function, and have narrow shoulders, small chest, short and small waist, and wide lower half. The people that should stay away from it, is anyone with a wide or large top half, as it adds body. Wrapped skirts, are also ok for most, depending on what shape, length, and so on. They are however, really good for showing of and creating curves for body types, such as the Brick, Cornet, and so on. A good way of fitting something to your body as well, as it doesn't have a set shape. Bubble skirts, are depending on level of poof, best for the straight figures, especially straight lower halfs, as they add body, curve (For example, Cornet and Column). Remember that an A-line skirt doesn't add, while a poofy skirt does. So, poof can add hips, and hide waist, if it's too much on the wrong shape.

I hope this cleared up some things for you :-)
Xxx, Sun.
