Fashion tips for hour glass shape woman

Emma Addo-Owusu Life Aug - 07 - 2015 , 04:51

The last time we spoke of the hour glass figure we mentioned the particular characteristics that go with that type of body shape.

This body shape is seen as the ideal shape because both the bust and hips are proportional with a well-defined waist.

Put simply, It means that your bust, shoulders and hips are balanced and in line with one another. You will have a small waist measuring between 8” and 10” smaller than your bust and hips measurements.

You are blessed with a lovely figure and can wear most styles of clothes. Almost all types of clothing will give you a symmetrical look hence enhancing your overall physical image.

We will be analysing clothing issues relating to those with the hour glass body and identify what type of clothes will flatter this particular figure.

Trousers and jeans

Since you have a super defined waist it’s better to opt for trouser that flare out slightly at the hems to emphasise your small waist.

• Bootleg cut jeans, palazzo cut trousers will enhance your small waist

• You can get away with wearing skinny jeans since your body is more balanced in overall appearance.

• Try and avoid wearing baggy trousers or jeans as these only serve to hide your figure and end up making you look bigger.

• If you have bigger thighs, aim for dark coloured materials as these give you a slimming effect.

Tops

Simple tops are useful in highlighting your great figure.

• Its best to go for V neck tops as these will make your upper body look feminine and accentuate your curves•

Detailed tops will draw attention away from your slim waist so avoid these.

• Stiff and bulky textured materials and colours will create additional weight and will hide your figure.

• Tops with belts and wrap tops will accentuate your slim waistline.

Skirt

Skirts which emphasise your waist line are the best for you.

• Pencil skirts look great on you because they hug in your shape and emphasise your slim waist. So go for these.

• Skirts which fall just below your knees emphasise your curves.

• Belted A-line skirts will also look good on your figure.

Dresses

Full frame clothing especially dresses is good for your body shape.

• You need to avoid dresses that are baggy because they hide your figure.

• Fully fitted dresses with a tailored waist will emphasise your full figure and slim waist.

• Avoid high necklines dresses which will give you a busty look especially if you have a full bosom. Rather opt for low or medium necklines.

• Fitted strapless dresses will suit you because you have a proportionate body.

Accesories

Belts work well with your figure so use more of these. They are useful in accentuating your slim waist.

Round pointed shoes are also a good choice.
