 Dressing
to flatter your figure is as much about playing up your
best features as it is about hiding what's not perfect.
You should know what suits you and what you should wear
to camouflage the minus points and highlight the plus points.
Learn what to wear to suit your shape.
Curvaceous
figure
You must be proud of your figure but if not properly dressed
you might lose all the curves behind baggy layers and frumpy
colours. Flaunt your gorgeous figure with fitted tailoring
and sexy outfits. Go for halterneck dresses and tight knits.
Amp up your best features and show them off with eye-catching
accessories like a waist-defining belt in a contrasting colour
or eye catching shoes. In jeans wear go in for bootcuts with
a body skimming tee.
Four
must-buys for curvaceous figures:
- Tailored
trousers to elongate legs and lift your butt.
- Corset
tops - fantastic for nipping in your waist.
- V-neck
sweater.
- Pencil
skirt to show off your shape.
Tall
and slim
You are blessed with a figure which can wear most styles.
Many otherwise hard-to-wear trends look fab on you, so be
adventurous with skinny jeans, ear-splitting prints and long
flowing dresses. What to avoid? Low-cut tops are a no-no if
you're small chested, and watch out for crop trousers and
bracelet sleeves, which can have a too-short effect.
Six
must-buys for leggy ladies:
- Skinny
trousers.
- Slinky
satin gowns for the gorgeous effect.
- High-heeled
boots.
- Jersey
tops to wear with jeans or trousers.
Petite
You have to be very careful while shopping coz your focus
should be only on well fitted dresses. Hunt out petite ranges,
which are altered proportionately for a perfect fit. Go for
monochromatic outfits coz this helps keep the silhouette streamlined,
especially with dark colours. Short skirts are best on petites,
so get those legs out. Matching tights and shoes elongate
the leg and a heel will help add height.
Four
must-buys for petite figures:
- Above-the-knee
skirt to show your legs off.
- Fitted
sweater for a slimline silhouette.
- Tailored
bootleg trousers - great for visually lengthening legs.
- Flapper
dress to wear with strappy heels.
Pear
shaped
Slim pencil skirts are more flattering on your figure than
long flowing skirts. Wear heeled boots or shoes to go with
the skirt. To boost your bust try corseted tops and tailored
jackets. Halterneck dresses with an A-line skirt look great
for weddings and evening events, but go easy on high-shine
fabrics, which bounce light off curves.
Four
must-buys for pear shapes:
-
Bootleg jeans with a proper fit.
- Push-up
bra to balance your top half.
- Dark
coloured skirt.
- Wrap
dress.
Pregnant Women
Don't hide a pregnant belly but learn how to flaunt it. Maternity
ranges have now evolved with a wide choice range. Bias-cut
and wrap dresses are a favourite for eveningwear and can be
worn post-pregnancy too.
Four
must-buys for pregnant women:
-
Maternity jeans.
-
Wrap top or dress.
- Pyjama
pants - very comfortable and trendy
- Loose
fitted kurta's to wear on pyjama pants.
