Choose soft, fluid fabrics that hang well and don’t cling or hug the figure, and go for muted and subtle patterns.Ĥ. Opt for deconstructed shapes, simple lines and plain colours on the bust. Clothing lines need to be straight, and fabrics soft to avoid any unnecessary volume or bulkiness. Wearing coats/jackets or cardigans which are longer than the hips line is a great way to do this.

Create the impression of a slimmer body, so create optical verticality through the use of shapes and clothing lines.

In order to do that play with accessorise (scarves, necklaces, earrings, hats) so keep any detail above the bust line and below the hip line. Draw eye attention to the area above your bust and below your hips. My best recommendations for oval body shapes are: Oval: usually has rounded or sloping shoulder line, curved back, flattish bottom, fullness around the middle and indeed the critical area is the central torso. In this case, I recommend choosing fabrics carefully and avoiding heavy or stiff fabrics, but rather opt for fluid, soft fabrics and more deconstructed shapes, like waterfall jackets, cardigans (and knitwear in general), crossovers or wraps tops and dresses, in soft fabrics, and as for patterns it’s preferable to avoid geometric patterns, and instead opt for more fluid shapes (spots, florals, paisleys).ģ.

Full Hourglass: you don’t hear about this body type often, many just talk about the “hourglass” generically, but some women, still having balanced shoulders, hips and a defined waist, have a full bust, a rounded bottom, and rounded hips and for them, rules differ a bit from neat hourglasses, and it’s important to wear clothes that follow their body line and curves, instead of those that are straight and constricting. Neat Hourglasses can wear most fabrics and patterns, as long as they complement their features (angular, curvilinear, interjacent).Ģ.

So anything with waist definition is a “go-to”, while buggy, boxy and shapeless clothes are not recommended. While they should avoid wearing clothes that hide their body line. Neat Hourglass: is characterized by a defined bust a defined waist, a neat bottom, and neat hips and have a naturally balanced body and also a defined waist, and while they have a wide range of choice, in terms of clothing styles, they should always try to keep this balance and also, and show off their body by wearing clothes that define the waist, enhance the bust and highlight hips and bottom. Now, let’s see shape by shape what this means:ġ. When the shoulders are wider than the hips, we are in front of an inverted triangle, as opposed to the triangle, where the hips are wider than the shoulders.
