| These are the typical body shapes, which one are you? |
Inverted Triangle: This is where your shoulders are bigger than your hips. Look in the mirror, do you look like an upside down triangle? If this is you, you can get away with wearing skirts that float out at the waist. This will balance out your shoulders to your hips. You can wear flared trousers. Basically you want to balance out your top half with your bottom half. This will make your waist look amazing. Have another look in that mirror see how good your waist looks. Show it off ladies.
Column: You my friends are straight up and down. This is a boyish shape a lot of models have this shape however with the right outfit you can have whatever look you feel like. Try double breasted jackets, embellishments to the part of your body you would like to show off work well, do you need a bit of attention on your shoulders to make you look broader then try a blazer jacket with some shoulder pads.
Rectangle: You again are a boyish body shape but don't threat! You can get away with some amazing dresses. You can pull off the outfits a lot of people can not. For example high necked tops. You can also pull of halterneck dresses. Why not try coats that pull you in at the waist. They will give you a curvier look.
Apple: You guys tend to hold more weight around your middle. So if you would like to look your best then your best outfits are ones that take the attention away from your middle. Empire lines are perfect! V-neck t-shirts, long tops with detail away from the middle. Look for jackets with buttons below the bust. Try to make yourself look longer by using V style shapes.
Pear: The majority of the British public are pear shaped. Lots of people get offended by this but just think of yourself as a triangle. Where Inverted triangles are taking attention away from their shoulders you are trying to draw attention TO your shoulders. Your hips are bigger than your shoulders so draw attention to your top half. Bright tops, V-neck shirts, A-line dresses are very complimentary! Don't be offended you look gorgeous!
Hourglass: The "perfect" shape. Curvy womanly, the shape everyone wants. Yes ladies you are the one others admire.
