What Clothes Suit Me?

You're pear shaped, which means you have fuller hips, and narrow shoulders. Your clothes should elongate the body, and draw the eye upward to highlight your waist , back and neckline. Think pv-necks, scoop neck, cowl necks and bell-sleeves. Feel free to layer with jackets and outerwear that hits mid-thigh or waist-length. With dresses, go for an open back, or dramatic sleeves, or belted styles. For jeans and pants, think dark.

You're an hourglass, so you have a narrow waist, but your bust and hips are wider. In fact, they are both close in size, your bust and waist. That means your clothes should be fitted, to celebrate that waistline. You can literally wear any top as long as it's fitted. Jackets should show off your waist. No boxy styles here! Dresses that work well are fitted, but flared at the bottom. Anything too flowy and it's trouble.

You're an apple shape, which means you're well-proportioned, but you don't have the defined waist that would otherwise make you an hourglass. That means clothes should be relaxed, v-neck, flowy, or a-line. Jackets should hit at the hip or upper thigh. Dresses should be strapless, or maxi with lower necklines. Dark colors and skinny jeans work well, as long as you pair it with an oversized sweater, breezy tunic, etc.

You're an athletic shape, which means you have a broad upper half, so you need to accentuate your legs and other curves. Think about things that show off your more muscular arms and defined shoulders (halter, racerback). Slender? Fitted, structured jackets work well. Otherwise, think bomber, dusters, or peacoats. And for dresses, show off your back and shoulders again. But make sure you pick darker colors and vertical stripes.
