How to dress an Oval body


The oval is one of the more challenging body types to dress, but also one of the easiest when you're camouflaging trouble spots. You're blessed with slim arms and legs, which can be used to your advantage. When you focus on the positive, you can look pounds lighter and more shapely. Not bad at all, wouldn't you say?


Here's How:


(1) Recognize the characteristics of your apple body type.

  • You may have full breasts and a wide back.

  • Your arms could be slim, while your shoulders could be wide.

  • You could have slim hips and a trim backside.

  • You gain weight at the midsection.

  • Your upper body is larger than your lower half.


(2) Pick out the perfect tee.

  • Try out a floaty tee such as a tunic style top. It will skim around the waist.

  • Try an empire waist shirt that begins under the bust to draw attention away from the stomach.

  • Wear shirts that reach lower than your waist to reduce the chance of "muffin top"escaping from where your shirt meets your trousers. If you like your hips to look a little more in balance with your bust, try a shirt that meets the largest point of the hips.

  • Choose a shirt with a slightly lower neckline to keep the eyes moving upwards. Pair that with a statement necklace for maximum effect.


(3) Try light layers to move the eye over trouble spots.

  • Wear a waistcoat over a sleeveless tank to draw attention to your arms and camouflaging your tummy.

  • Choose a layered chiffon blouse over a lightweight tank top. With a well-fitting lightweight top, you can skim over the midsection with ease.


(4) Choose trousers that create a balanced silhouette.

  • Look for wide-legged trousers that will create a more even look between your upper and lower halves.

  • Try wide-legged capris to flaunt your slim ankles.

  • Never wear skinny trousers, unless you wear a longer tunic over it with a slimming effect.

(5) Find a skirt that will minimize your midsection.

  • Choose a skirt with a full silhouette. Your slightly top-heavy appearance can be reduced significantly, and when paired with a slim-fitting tunic, you'll look positively slim.

  • Skirts with a higher waistline, such as one that reaches the natural waist, will disguise a larger stomach and hide any strain or tightness across the midsection.

  • Don't wear slim miniskirts with your body type. You will seem far more top-heavy than you really are.

(6) Grab the right shoes to complete the look.

  • Find a pair of shoes that continue the long lines of your legs. You may want to try a strappy sandal with brief straps and a sexy heel.

  • Wear kitten heels for comfort if you have smaller calves. These heels are easier on your feet, so you can wear them all day without trouble.

  • Embrace chunkier style shoes like wedges. Wearing a slightly heavier shoe can help to anchor and balance your top half.

Inverted Triangle Body Shape

The best Inverted Triangle Body Shape fashion advice and styling do-it-yourself styling techniques. You'll find everything you need to know about bringing out the best in your slightly athletic body shape, from how to flatter your wide shoulders to creating more curves around the hips and thighs to create a proportional silhouette.





So What Does it Mean to Have an Inverted Triangle Body Shape?

That means your shoulders and upper half part are wider than your hips. Your probably have strong shoulders and narrow hips.

An "Athletic" Body Shape
You're known for having an athletic-looking body shape! Your frame is quite common among catwalk models. And often your type of shape comes with nice, lean legs :)


Celebrities known to have an inverted triangle body shape: ReneƩ Zellweger, Naomi Campbell, Teri Hatcher, Demi Moore



How to Dress Your Inverted Triangle Body Shape

Your main goal when putting on clothes should be to discreetly add volume and width around your hips. This creates a balanced, hourglass shape.

However your wide shoulders are definitely a great body asset, so don't be afraid to show them off! More on that further down this page.

Let's take a closer look at how you can create a flattering look on your shape!



  • Add Volume and Width Around Your Hips and Down


I seriously don't like the fluff Naomi Campbell has put on her upper body (it's such a hideous layering), but you might want to take a look at her jeans. Those flared pants will help balance your shape.
Other clothes suited for your body shape: Flare pants, wide leg jeans, A-line skirts.


Tip: Are you a petite size? Then make sure you wear something tailored and fitted on top with flare/wide leg pants. The flare/wide leg + layering combo Naomi Campbell's wearing suit taller women best.



  • Proud of Your Beautiful Shoulders and Want to Create a Trademark?

Then accentuate them!


However avoid overdoing it as it can make you look stick-figured. Balance the look.

If you look at Teri Hatcher (the woman on your right left), you can see how she pulls it off. She emphasizes her upper part with white, but at the same time she draws attention to her breasts (maybe her best feature?) and the center of her chest. Her dress also has a subtle flare at the hemline. She also adds self-confidence in the mix :)

All in all, you can wear something that enhances your shapely shoulders as long as you keep your frame proportionate!


Your Best Pieces


  • Most types of pants and jeans
Your narrow hips and legs are primed for all kinds of pants! Examples are gauchos, harem pants, cargo pockets etc.

However if you're wearing skinnys or anything that is slim-fitted, make sure you wear something that minimizes your upper part a little bit (like a solid, dark colored sweater) on top and a pair of bright colored (or anything eyecathing) shoes to balance the look.


  • Full skirts
Like for example A-lines, circle, balloon, etc. Or anything that flares around the hemline.



  • Long tops, shirts and sweaters that cinch at your waistline or flare out from your waist or bust
Examples are tunics and belted cardigans. It creates curves around your waist and down


Tip: Petite or/and full-figured? -- then take extra precautions when wearing long tops/sweaters/jackets as they can make you look shorter and add width around your hips. However, you can try wearing a regular length top (falls right above your hips) with a belt around the waist.



  • Belted coats
Choose coats with minimal designs at top and that flair out from the waist.


  • Bright-colored or eyecatching shoes
These are sure to grab attention to your lean legs.



  • Low U and V-necks
These will vertically slim down your chest and make it look leaner.



  • Dresses that are fuller at hemline/cinch your waist/flares out from your waist
They'll add more volume on the bottom, balancing your body shape.

  • Large straps
Have in mind that if you attempt to wear thin straps then you'll automatically broaden your shoulders by making your shoulders look bigger in comparison. So if you want to achieve a proportionate body shape choose larger straps.

How to Dress an Hourglass Shape




What is an Hourglass Shape
Hourglass figures are round and curvy. They are considered the dream figure to have and many men actually prefer a woman with curves. An hourglass shaped woman has a well-defined waistline and fuller hips and bust. Their shoulders and hips are equal in width. Woman with hourglass shapes can look sultry and seductive or classy and elegant, depending on what they wear and by dressing in the most flattering way for their particular shape.




How to Dress an Hourglass Shape
Many women with hourglass shapes try to hide their curves and by doing so, wear clothes that do not fit them properly. Instead of choosing big, baggy clothes to hide your shape, choose clothes to enhance what you have. By knowing the best styles for your particular shape, you can dress with confidence and always look your very best.
Show off your Waist
Since hourglass shapes typically have well-defined waists, drawing attention to your waist with a belt or a top with a fitted waist will accentuate this great asset. Do not be afraid to show off a small waist! It is often most flattering to draw attention to your smallest part of your body.
Foundation First
An important item for an hourglass shape to have is a well-fitting bra. A bra is the foundation to all your clothing and if it doesn't fit properly can make your clothes look terrible. Since most hourglass figures are well-endowed, a properly fitting bra is a must have wardrobe staple. Remember that a bra that fits will show off your bust and lay a smooth foundation for all your tops.
Tops and Pants
Another must have for hourglass shapes is a top with either a v-neck or scoop neckline. Both styles slim the neck and chest and will make you appear smaller and slimmer.
The best pant styles for an hourglass shape are:

  • Flat front trousers

  • Boot cut jeans

  • Pants or jeans with flared bottoms

  • Pants that fit properly will give you a slim look that will enhance your figure.
Skirts and Dresses
There are many styles of skirts and dresses that work perfectly for hourglass shapes. Curvier women should choose skirts that accentuate your curves and flatter your legs. Some styles to try include:

  • Pencil skirts

  • A-line cut skirts and dresses

  • Wrap skirts

  • Wrap dresses

  • Some other figure flattering items are belted jackets, cardigans and wrap style coats.
Style Tips
There are many tips to follow if you are an hourglass shape. Keep in mind the importance of dressing for your body type. Some things to keep in mind when choosing an outfit are:
Wear a darker bottom and lighter colored top to emphasize your waistline and to minimize your curves.
A monochromatic outfit with a slim belt will slim your figure and balance your body.
Buy clothes in the correct size. A top that is too big will only make you look bigger and sloppier and clothes that are too tight will also make you look larger.
Choose lighter weight fabrics without extra bulk to give you a lean look.
Hourglass figures can show off their curves and camouflage their imperfections by knowing how to dress an hourglass shape and choosing the right styles for their particular body type. By wearing clothes that fit properly any woman can look stunning and feel confident. Embrace your best assets and don't hide behind improperly fitting clothes anymore..

What Is the Best Dress for My Body Shape

Taking the guesswork out of dress shopping can be difficult, as you've probably asked yourself more than a few times, "what is the best dress for my body shape?" You're not alone, ladies. Finding the dress that best flatters your figure and conceals any trouble spots is quite a task! The vast selection of dresses out there doesn't help, either. Let us guide you through the process and maybe even make dress shopping fun!

 

 
What Shape are You?

 
Body shapes are easily defined. You may look at yourself in the mirror and describe your body as curvy, slim, defined, muscular, tall, short or straight – and that's just for starters. You're on the right track with these very descriptive words, because they're the starting point for the wardrobe choices you make.

 
When it comes to dress shopping, it's important to recognize your shape so that you can shop for the styles that will most flatter your figure. That is the fun part – but first, let's go through the various body shapes and what defines each.

  • Hourglass or circle shapes are rounded and curvy. The graceful curves of this shape are marked by a well-defined waistline, full hips and thighs and a medium or large size bust.
  • Inverted triangle shapes are large on top, with a generous size bust and a thick waist, and smaller on the bottom, with narrowed thighs and legs.
  • Oval shapes are balanced from top to bottom. A large bust, thick waistline and large hips define the oval.
  • Rectangle shapes are straight and somewhat squared, with little to no definition at the waistline, straight legs and torso, narrow hips and a flat derriere.
  • Triangle shapes have narrow shoulders and torso, a small waistline and large hips. Extra weight is usually carried in the thigh area
  
Dressing for your Shape

 
The key to choosing clothes that complement your shape is to achieve absolute harmony from tip to toe. It's not just about the colors that best suit your skin tone; it's about fabrics that don't cling, materials that don't bind and a piece that genuinely fits. The right dress shouldn't be too tight or too loose (although it's better to err on the side of caution and go looser if in doubt). However, the best fit is the one that flatters your shape and accentuates your most stunning features.

 

 
What Is the Best Dress for My Body Shape?

 
No more asking yourself "What is the best dress for my body shape?" in frustration, ladies! Chances are you've done a bit of searching already for a fabulous dress, maybe even picked out a few, but are still none the wiser about actually dressing for your shape. Based on the shapes we've defined, let's take a peek at the dresses that work overtime to highlight your assets and keep pesky trouble spots cleverly concealed

 
Hourglass
Lucky you, curvy girl! Hourglass figures can show off their curves in form-fitting sheaths and A-line dresses. Shifts are also fantastic if you prefer to show less hip and accentuate the top half of your body instead. Salma Hayek and America Ferrera are great examples of curvy girls who know how to work with what they've got! This Donna Ricco sheath dress is stretchy, comfortable and flaunts your shape in a classy manner.

 

 
Inverted Triangle
Choose a dress that shows off your upper body! Concealing broad shoulders can actually make them appear larger, so a halter, strapless or sleeveless style is perfect. Also look for a-lines that lend the appearance of a shapelier bottom half. This Adrianna Papell silk halter dress is made for wearing all summer long! The shirred waist, full skirt and bare shoulders work your assets to their fullest potentials.

 

 

 
Oval
Full figures can take advantage of the trendy flowing shapes that are so hot right now. Empire dresses draw attention to the upper body and allow the rest of the fabric to softly flow over the lower half. This printed Robbie Bee dress is the perfect shape: its soft v-neckline, a-line skirt and widely cinched waist ensure that it fits like a dream.

 

 
Rectangle
Adding definition is key for this shape. Look for form-fitting shapes, gentle ruching to create a curvy illusion and revealing necklines. This Maggy London dress boasts a square neck and is fitted at the waist with a faux leather patent belt. Below that is a full printed skirt. All together, it's a recipe for shapely perfection!

 

 
Triangle
Bottom-heavy shapes benefit greatly from styles that accentuate the top half of the body. Empire cuts are especially flattering, as are a-line styles. This Jones New York silk dress is lightly embellished on the neckline and straps, which criss-cross on the back. This serves to draw attention upward. The bottom flows loosely over the hips and below the knees

2010 Spring/Summer Trend: Jumpsuits & Playsuits

It doesn't seem that long ago that cutesy playsuits and rompers were a summer must-have (albeit a short lived one). Well as luck would have it, one-piece anythings are back in fashion for Spring 2010. From overalls to jumpsuits read on for details on where the trend has been seen, as well as how to wear it.



Jumpsuit and Playsuit Styles


Overalls: while we saw denim overalls on the Ralph Lauren Spring/Summer 2010 catwalk, this was really an exception. We don't expect denim overalls to take off as part of this trend in 2010.
Evening: a new take on relaxed glamour, no-one has nailed this quite like Alber Elbaz for Lanvin. Single-shouldered and sequin covered jumpsuits were a striking alternative to the traditional evening dress.
Tailored: smart and sophisticated, a tailored playsuit can be office-ready as well as dressed up for day or night. Look for crisper fabrics, cuffed shorts, and cinched in waists - a la Karl Lagerfeld.
Loose and flowing: the perfect take for Spring/Summer, this look has a dash of hippy - working best when combined with soft floral prints. Fabrics should be free-flowing, legs wide and long. The likes of Roberto Cavalli and Etro produced the perfect examples.
Sporty: Julien MacDonald, Lacoste and Walter all took sportier options, in line with Spring 2010's sports trend; from hoods and zips to simple cotton jersey fabrics.
Basic: while some designers have gone for prints and intricate detailing, the likes of Stella McCartney and Givenchy presented the ideal basic options. A more versatile wardrobe staple, go for black, white or nude colours and simple straight cuts.

Jumpsuit and Playsuit Lengths

Judging by the runways of Spring 2010, anything goes when it comes to length. At their shortest, we saw playsuits and rompers that were almost as tiny as hot pants (in a way blurring the lines between playsuits and bodysuits). At their longest they reached the ankles as full jumpsuits, and in between were knee length and mid-calf versions like those seen on the runways of Badgley Mischka and DKNY.

How To Wear Jumpsuits and Playsuits

While you can get a pretty clear idea of some of the style options via the paragraph above, here are some more general tips and ideas of how to wear the trend: 

  • If you have curves or a pear-shaped figure, try for a halter jumpsuit or playsuit, belted in firmly at the waist, for a bombshell silhouette.

  • For night time opt for luxurious fabrics like silks; details like sequins or sheer panels; or leather for an edgier look.

  • If you go for a basic block-colour piece, the options are practically endless. Try a cropped jacket in a contrasting colour, a la Givenchy; bold statement jewellery; any variety of belts or ties; or some out there add-ons like removable shoulder epaulettes, badges, chains, or interesting layers.

  • Another way to wear the jumpsuit in 2010 is with an exotic feel: to work this style look for billowing harem-style pants with gathered-in ankles.
