The secret to choosing clothes - Body types
One of the secrets of female attractiveness is the right choice of clothes. What does correct mean? The right choice– this is when the clothes you wear look like an extension of your body. Such clothing emphasizes the natural advantages of the figure, hides flaws, and does not look like someone else’s shoulder.
You are probably familiar with the situation when in a store, after trying on a certain number of dresses, skirts and blouses, you sadly note that all these things are not yours, although they seemed to look quite decent on the hanger. My clients often complain that after several such attempts to find “their” item, they completely lose interest in stores. It seems as if everything presented in stores is tailored for anyone, but not for you. But believe me, after we determine the type of figure and those things that suit this type of figure, the problem of choosing clothes is solved.
So what is body type? This is nothing more than a feature of the structure of the body, a feature of the structure and development of bone, fat and muscle tissue. And this feature is influenced by genetics. Of course, you can correct the features of your figure with the help of the right nutritional culture and motor activity. But in general, especially with regard to the structure bone tissue, this is a given. That is why, for example, exhausting themselves with workouts and diets, women of the Pear (aka Triangle) figure type, hoping to look stunning in a tight dress, experience irritation and bewilderment - why don’t the hips become less noticeable against the general background of the body?! But the simple peculiarity of the bone structure is such that, no matter how thin you become, your hips will remain outstanding - natural feature. And so with every body type. Armed with knowledge about the advantages of each type (and weak points too), you and I can choose clothes so that we always look perfect!
Concepts of the ideal female figure have changed over the centuries. For example, in ancient times, a tall, slender and graceful woman with undistinguished forms was considered beautiful, but in the Renaissance, curvaceous forms were valued. It turns out that individual parameters of body parts are not as important as their proportions to each other. Body proportions have been studied by many scientists and researchers. And this knowledge was then applied in painting and architecture.
As you probably know, Leonardo da Vinci, summing it all up scientific research made before him, developed a theory about the proportions of an ideal model human body: aurea sectio - golden ratio.
It is believed that it was on the basis of this theory of the “golden section” that the classification of the main types of female figures appeared much later. The basis of the classification is the proportional ratio of the parameters of the shoulders, hips and waist of the female body.
The ideal proportions of a female figure and the most aesthetically attractive are considered to be the X (Hourglass) figure type. Therefore, with the help of clothing we try to bring the visual image closer to this ideal (also known to us as “90-60-90”).
To determine your body type, we will need a measuring tape. Still beautiful and quick way- this is to ask your loved ones to trace your figure with a pencil or pen, standing with your back to whatman paper. There are now and computer programs to determine your body type.
Body type A (Pear, Triangle)
Today I propose to start studying the types of female figures with the “A” figure type, which is often also called Pear, or Triangle.
This body type is one of the most common. Compared to the size of his shoulders, Pear's hips are significantly larger. Therefore, Pears usually get very complex because of this. Although it is believed that this type of figure is most popular with men! The Pear body type is extremely feminine.
No matter how much Grusha tries to lose weight, her hips will still stand out strongly, while her top will remain just as light and graceful. But if Pear plays sports and keeps herself in shape, then instead of fat deposits on the hips and lower body as a whole, her bottom will look more harmonious and toned.
If you are Pear, then you know how difficult it is to choose clothes. After all, the difference between the top and bottom is significant; the waist can be narrower than the hips by 30 centimeters or more. Moreover, the top is so elegant that it fits into clothing sizes 40 or 42. And the bottom is 44 or even 46... That’s the dilemma. Let's find out!
In order to dress Pear, we must first of all remember the most important advantages of this type, because it is on these advantages that the image will be built.
Advantages of the Pear body type:
- pronounced waist line (wasp waist);
- fragile shoulders;
- usually graceful hands;
- neat breasts (don’t rush to say that this is a drawback!).
Secrets of choosing clothes
Our first goal is to create harmony between the top and bottom. And also draw attention to the graceful top and wasp waist! This will help us focus our attention on the upper body, in turn diverting our attention from problem areas. But in order to make the image harmonious, it is important to choose clothes so that the figure looks generally proportional. This means visually increasing the proportions of the top so that they are in harmony with the bottom. How to do this?
Top for Pear
V-neck
Voluminous sleeves
Abundance of details (ruffles, frills, flounces, prints, accessories)
Basque
Style – fitted, semi-fitted
Length – above the hip, just below the waist or below mid-thigh
Bottom for Pear
Skirts and trousers are perhaps the biggest headache Pears. Especially skirts. The hips don't fit, and the waist dangles. Familiar to you, of course. Let's start with those skirts that do NOT decorate a Pear-shaped figure - narrow skirts, skirts with elastic, circle and half-circle skirts, knitted skirts, hip-length skirts, multi-layered skirts.
It is better to opt for the following styles:
Silhouette-A (trapezoid)
Pencil skirt made of thick fabric, not narrow (such a skirt is not easy to find)
In general, to be honest, I am of the opinion that the best skirt for Pear is a dress.
Trousers
The best jeans and trousers for Pear are those that widen slightly from the knee. This balances the top and bottom, making the figure harmonious.
Dresses for Pear
Of course, New Look! In general, dresses with a cut-off waist are for Grusha. Due to the fact that such dresses fit like a glove to the waist, and below the skirt hides weak points.
High waist dresses (empire)
A-line dresses
Semi-fitted dresses
The female form comes in different types and sizes. So how do you choose clothes that highlight your figure? The secret is knowing your proportions and using fashion tricks that will highlight your assets and hide all that is unnecessary!
Steps
Part 1
Determine your body type- Thin limbs, particularly arms, and broad shoulders are the main features of this body type.
- Weight is concentrated around the midsection and ribcage, accompanied by large breasts and a protruding belly.
- If you have small breasts, then all the weight will be concentrated in the abdominal area.
- Your waist is barely noticeable just below the midsection, giving the appearance of a “heavy” top.
- Since your upper body is heavy, your legs need to be slim and toned.
-
The opposite body shape to an apple is called pear-shaped. 20 percent of women have a heavier bottom, which means their hips are significantly larger than their bust.
- You'll quickly recognize this shape by your lower body: your hips and butt are very prominent.
- The shoulders are narrow and drooping.
- Usually they say “curvy” about such a figure. To identify this type, just look at your legs; they are usually thicker, more muscular and fuller than the rest of your torso.
-
Straight/rectangular body shape. About 46 percent of women have this body type, where the hips and waist are the same width. Your silhouette is not as curvy as the pear and apple shapes. Instead, your body appears long and with flat shoulders.
- Unlike the previous two shapes, rectangular is best determined by measurement. After taking measurements, you will see that your waist is 2.54 - 20.32 centimeters smaller than your bust.
- Standing straight, you will not notice any bends in the waist area.
- Basically your ribcage will determine your shape as there will be no other curves.
- Even though you have a rectangular body shape, you may still have a bit of a curvy bottom (similar to a pear shape) or a wide chest and a little extra weight around your stomach.
-
Form hourglass. Only 8 percent of women have this form. The hips and chest are usually the same width, and the waist is narrow.
- Unlike other shapes, you will definitely be able to notice that you have the rare hourglass figure shape, as a clearly defined waist will be visible.
- Your curves will beautifully highlight your figure in the right places. Fat is usually deposited evenly throughout the body.
- Looking in the mirror, you will notice that your hips and chest are the same width.
- You can also have an hourglass shape if you have slightly meaty shoulders and slightly fuller hips.
-
Keep in mind that you can change your body shape if you put in the effort. You can change your body shape through diet and physical exercise. If you want your clothes to fit you better, then you need to change your lifestyle.
Pay attention to your genetics. Family genes have great value for your figure. Look at other women in your family for general trends and pay attention to how they dress according to their body type.
Determine your body shape. Explore her curves. Notice how they flow around your bust, waist and hips.
Body type apple. About 14 percent of women are considered to have a heavy top, when the chest is 7.62 cm or more larger than the hips. Just look in the mirror and determine if your figure is apple shaped.
Part 2
How to dress according to your body type-
Clothes for apple body type. To successfully dress for an apple body type, you must draw attention away from your midsection and wear clothes that highlight other parts of your body.
- Follow the contours of your body and focus on the upper and lower thirds of your body.
- Draw attention away from your waist, shoulders and arms (wear clothes with long sleeve) and draw attention to the chest and neck (for example, with a neckline)
- Opt for flared pants instead of straight or skinny ones to balance out broad shoulders and/or a heavy top. Wear clothes that slightly cover your pelvis to draw attention away from your abdominal area.
- Avoid dresses and belts that tie at the waist. This will only highlight the area you want to hide.
- Wear drapey tops that hide any curves you want to hide.
- Clothing in dark colors will help you hide your figure features.
-
Clothing for a pear-shaped body. The trick for this body shape is to wear items that add volume to the chest and shoulder areas. Focus on the upper part of the body to visually reduce the lower part.
- If you have a pear-shaped body, there are many ways to slim down your hips and pelvis, but you can even make it look even bigger if you want!
- Balance your upper and lower body. Try to wear sweaters that will visually enlarge your shoulders.
- Avoid pants and tights that make your legs look skinny if you have a pear-shaped body
- Wear a push-up bra that will add volume to your breasts. Just make sure you get the right size!
- Wear straight or flared pants and heels. Skinny pants can give your lower body an inverted triangle shape. Wide-leg pants will make your legs look thicker than your upper body.
-
Clothing for straight/rectangular body shape. With this body shape, you should wear things that break your silhouette and create curves, starting from the waist.
- If you have this body shape, you can define your waist by creating curves to avoid looking lanky or boyish.
- Choose clothing with frills or ruffles to add texture and volume (and femininity) to your figure.
- Avoid baggy jeans and choose your clothes carefully if you don't want to look boyish.
- Stock up on miniskirts and bright tights to highlight your beautiful legs. They will also add shape to your rectangular frame.
- Belts and dresses accentuate your waist. These are must-have pieces for your wardrobe as they add curves to your body.
-
Clothing for an hourglass figure. Avoid any clothing that makes you look boxy! If you are the lucky owner of such a rare figure, then you definitely need to highlight it!
- Your waist should be central part when choosing an outfit. This involves wearing comfortable clothes and accessories that accentuate your waist. By focusing on your waist, you will draw attention to your curves even more.
- Dress to highlight your beautiful curves and silhouette. Don't wear loose clothing that hides your body.
- Balance your top and bottom by highlighting your waist. Draw attention to your waist with a belt, ribbon or dress that tapers at the waist.
- Remember, just because you have an hourglass figure, it doesn't mean you should wear clothes that make you feel self-conscious. Leave these items on the hanger if you think the neckline is too deep or the length is too short.
- Shape your breasts. If you have an hourglass figure, you probably have large breasts. You should take care to wear a supportive bra to make your breasts look beautiful.
- Stock up on V-neck dresses and blouses that will highlight your bust. If you don't want to emphasize your chest, skip necklaces in favor of chunky bracelets.
- Consider all options. Don't rush to give up clothes just because you haven't worn such things before. Step by step step out of your comfort zone.
- If you are a petite woman ( short and thin), avoid long coats and maxi dresses - they don't flatter you. Choose short jackets, shorts and mini dresses to maintain your petiteness and proportionality. Wearing one color and vertical stripes will make you look taller. Also try wearing high heels to make your legs appear longer.
- Regardless of your body type, anything that visually makes your legs look longer is considered beautiful.
- Choose colors and patterns wisely. If you have details that you would like to hide, give preference to dark colors (black, dark blue, dark purple).
- Wear bright colors and patterns in areas of your figure that you want to highlight, thereby drawing attention away from imperfections.
- If you have a flat stomach, feel free to show it off by wearing crop tops that will also make your breasts look bigger.
- Order yourself a professional lifting bra that will change your life, making your breasts look fantastic!
- Dresses and tops that hug your waist and overlap your chest are only good if you have large breasts. Otherwise, such an outfit can make your breasts disproportionately small (if you have a pear-shaped body), or make your shoulders and chest look flat and square (if you have a straight/rectangular body shape)
For example, clothes for an “apple” figure are completely irrelevant for women with a rectangular body type, because “apple” figures need to hide their tummy, and “rectangles” need to veil the unclear contours of the waist. Also, the wardrobe for the “inverted triangle” is completely different from the clothes for the “hourglass” type. The first need to visually narrow the shoulders, and the second, on the contrary, emphasize their rounded beauty. Below you will learn about the correct selection of clothes for your figure and see photos of successful sets.
Clothes made in urban style occupy the most most of our wardrobe: capris, tunics, dresses, sundresses, jackets, knee socks, and all the latest fashionable items.

Be sure to sew a light knitted tunic draped under the bust, or a light chiffon one with a row of elastic threads at the waist.
Jackets for women with an hourglass figure should have a snug fit and end at the hips. For an urban style jacket, choose a solid color and with small pattern, soft but shape-holding fabric.
Choose feminine models with rounded collars, flaps, patch pockets, long or short set-in sleeves or raglan.
And the rough and sharp details inherent in the safari or sports style do not suit you at all.
Soft knitwear in bright colors is an excellent solution for a pullover. It can be the simplest style, hip-length, or an interesting textured knit. Short knitted blouses with buttons look good on you.
Wardrobe for an hourglass figure with photo: trousers and skirts
Women with an hourglass figure should choose dark, classic, tight-fitting jeans with a fashionable statement design and a mid-rise waistline.
The cut of the trousers should follow the silhouette of your smooth hips, and wide models should be avoided. Slightly cropped trousers and capri pants will also look good.
A bright belt, pockets and other additional details in the hip area will draw attention to your appetizing shape.
Look at the photo of the wardrobe for an hourglass figure; the fabric for trousers should be dense, but not stiff and sticking out; in terms of color, it can be either plain or have small, barely noticeable stripes or patterns.
Pencil skirts made of dense plain fabric of a wide variety of shades can carry elements of a sports style or safari style.
Soft, flowing flared skirts in a romantic style made of light, flowing fabrics with small floral patterns, polka dots, and diagonal stripes will further emphasize your ideal silhouette.
You can afford to wear short denim skirts if your legs are slim enough.
Hello, dear readers! Fashion magazines, fashion designers, fashion critics constantly dictate to us what to wear this season, but is everything from this range suitable for us?
No, not everyone and not everyone. So let's figure out together how to choose the right clothes, discarding the unnecessary and emphasizing the most important things in our individuality.
Dressing according to your body type
In order to figure out which things suit you, you need to take a close look at your silhouette. The silhouette decides, if not everything, then a lot!
Your task now is to go to the mirror, preferably naked, and mentally highlight all the pros and cons of your figure. Have you considered? Now, let’s read what types of figures there are and determine yours.
This type is characterized by the fact that it has an inexpressive waist and approximately the same volumes of the chest, waist and hips.
But most often such women have a toned body and long legs.
This type of figure usually suits everything.
The only thing you can do is highlight your waist with a belt.
But generally, such ladies suit a classic and straight cut in their clothes.
2. Apple.
A body type with an expressive, rounded upper part. This is especially noticeable when a woman dials overweight.
The tummy becomes especially round. If you have an apple body type, then you should emphasize your legs and try not to wear a tight top.
Tight trousers or a mini skirt (necessarily tight, otherwise you risk becoming square) and a hoodie, this is just the thing for you. Now there are many options for such clothes.
3. Inverted triangle.
Distinctive feature– wide top (shoulders, chest) and narrow hips.
This photo shows an excellent example of such a figure.
This figure requires a slight emphasis on beautiful broad shoulders, but adding volume to the bottom and emphasizing the grace of the waist.
Then you will appear more feminine and proportional.
4. Pear.
If you see that you have a narrow top but a wide bottom, this means that your body type is “pear”.
Owners of this type of figure can always boast of feminine curves, since they have chic hips.
This type should pay attention to tight-fitting dress models, and models that are flared at the bottom also look good.
But there should not be any prints in the hip area, this adds volume that you already have.
You can add a little volume on top, for example, with pointed shoulder pads or frills.
But do not overdo it so as not to appear too voluminous. Be sure to highlight your waist.
5. Hourglass. Very often women hesitate in defining this type, because this type is similar to the “pear” type.
The hourglass figure type is special in that it has a thinner waist in relation to the hips and shoulders.
The difference is that the hourglass has equally proportional top and bottom, but the waist is thin.
This type also suits most models in clothes with an accentuated waist, otherwise you risk being square. It would be a sin to hide such proportions.
Recent years There has been a trend towards things of a simple cut, but fashion is changeable. In 2016, femininity finally came into fashion - lace, velvet and flowing silhouettes.
Take advantage of this moment. But don’t get too carried away with fashion, because the main thing is what suits you, so choose clothes that suit your figure, it will decorate you.
Choose your style
There are many trends in clothing style now. They are constantly mixing and changing. But for you we have identified the main styles that form the basis of all other trends.
Classic style. Things of this style are different high quality and simplicity of cut.
Usually restrained and achromatic color scheme. This is not an emotional style at all; everything in it is moderate – length, width, volume. Also, this style is not distinguished by a variety of details; it does not have brooches, ruffles and poyettes, and if it does, they do not stand out.
Sports style– free style, intended for sports. Or casual clothes stylized as sports.
This clothing is comfortable, but quite bright and dynamic.
Romantic style– lightness, airiness, sophistication. Features a floral print and delicate colors.
Also, this style is characterized by ruffles, flounces, and a flowing cut.
For men, this is the presence in the wardrobe of scarves, vests and romantic hat styles.
Casual style– modern comfortable clothing, the most common style today. Usually, it contains inclusions of other styles.
After studying these styles, look at your wardrobe and determine which style prevails in it. Perhaps you want to add a little romance or freedom?
Now, when making your next purchase, think about whether this goes with your main style.
We emphasize individuality
In order to look good you just need to be in a good mood and wear the color that makes you happy and suits you. Try to look at yourself from the outside by trying on several colors.
For example, red should not highlight pink spots on the face. If this happened when you tried on this shade, then it’s not for you. And vice versa, if vigor appears on your face, then it suits you.
Pastel colors should not make you dull and tired, but bright colors you shouldn't get lost.
For girls small in stature I would like to say that you try to lengthen the silhouette by wearing things of the same tone. So, for example, choose shoes to match the color of tights or trousers; shoes in beige shades elongate your legs very well.
The same rules should be applied to overweight girls. Also for plus size women – don’t hide your figure. Try to emphasize your advantages - long legs or lush breasts, and elegant accessories will only embellish your face.
Regarding accessories, I must add that they should also be chosen to match the main style of your wardrobe.
For petite girls, it is better to wear small handbags and small details in jewelry, and for taller ladies, larger accessories are suitable.
And finally - a little about when we have nothing to wear
