How To Determine Your Body Type
The Guide to Body shapes
The clothes which will
flatter you best will depend on your body shape. Today the choice of clothes is
so varied that there's something for everyone no matter what coloring, scale, height, proportion or body shape you are.
When it comes to
looking good, it's not your size or shape that matters, it's the fit of your
clothes. Wearing the right clothes shouldn't be about following the latest
fashion trends; it should be about choosing what actually suits you and what
makes you feel comfortable and confident.
Knowing your basic body
shape and understanding the types of clothes that will accentuate your good
features (and minimize your less than perfect bits!), means you'll be able to
dress in a way that really suits you. Today there are so many options to choose
from so you'll always be able to find something that will complement your body
shape, scale, proportions, colorings, personality and life style.
The dress must follow the body of a woman, not the
body following the shape of the dress.
- Shoulders and hips in line
- A defined bust
- A waist, even with a softy curved tummy
- A curved bottom
The problem with
understanding your body shape is that most women focus on specific area (i.e.
problems zones such as the tummy, arms, bottom, thighs etc), which can cloud
your judgment when it comes to seeing the whole picture. It's important to view
yourself as a whole so that you can define your body shape.
To analyze your body
shape, look at yourself in the mirror in your underwear. Stand with your legs
together and your arms a bit away from your sides. Examine the area from under
your arms, past your bust and ribcage, over your waist and hips to the fullest
part of your thighs. Then look at the 7 body shape sketches above. Once you
know your shape, you need to examine your proportion, scale and your features
e.g. bust, tummy, arms, thighs.
