Outfit ideas & how to dress your body type

• Create an optical illusion: play up a rectangle body shape by dressing proportionately on the top and bottom while defining your waist to create the illusion of curves. Think leggings or bootcut jeans with a V-neck T-shirt.
• It's a cinch: try belting your V-neck tops or wearing peplums to create a covetable curve.
• Don designs that define: wear fitted jackets or vests to help define your shape.
• Highlight your décolletage: wearing a V-neck top helps create a curvier shape.
• Balancing act: wear A-line skirts and bootcut pants to help balance out your shape on the bottom.
• Try a bit of bling: straight body shapes can benefit from embellished pants pockets–a clever, yet stylish trick that helps balance out your bottom half.
• Accentuate the positives: don't be afraid to take advantage of your straight shape. Pair your V-neck shirts with slim leg pants or women's leggings to enhance your assets.

Styles suggested for your shape:

• Fitted Jackets
• Belts
• Peplum Tops & Jackets
• A-line Skirts
• Bootcut Pants
• V-Neck Tops

Outfit ideas & how to dress your body type

• Rise to the occasion: pear body shapes should add volume to the upper body, emphasize their waist, and deemphasize their lower body.
• Create an optical illusion: wear dark colors on the bottom and avoid fashion details on pants to avoid drawing attention to the lower half.
• Highlight your décolletage: wear wide necklines to visually widen your shoulders. Boat neck and scoop neck designs are particularly flattering for this body shape.
• Get a leg up: wide leg pants and straight leg pants help balance the bottom half of a pear body shape. Both go great with boat neck tops and scoop neck tops!
• Go with the flow: an A-line dress can help to minimize the bottom half of your body shape.
• Try a bit of bling: draw the eye up to your upper body by topping off A-line skirts with embellished tops and bright colors.

Styles suggested for your shape:

• A-line Skirts
• Wide & Straight-Leg Pants
• A-line Dresses
• Embellished Tops
• Boat & Scoop-Neck Tops

• Va-va-voom: curb your curves by dressing proportionally on the top and bottom. Style staples like bootcut pants, pencil skirts, wrap dresses, and V-neck shirts are ideal for your body type.
• Balancing act: V-neck tops keep your hourglass body shape from becoming too top-heavy and help emphasize your hourglass shape.
• It's a cinch: accentuate your hourglass figure by wearing a waist-whittling wrap dress or a belted V-neck.
• Make your mark: a pencil skirt is a chic way to show off curvy body shapes.
• Strike a sleek silhouette: top off a pencil skirt or bootcut pants with a fitted jacket or blazer to play up your curves.
• Get a leg up: bootcut jeans beautifully balance the lower half. Wear with a V-neck T-shirt to perfect the cool-and-casual look.

Outfit ideas & how to dress your body type

• Glorify your gams: distract from your midsection by showing off your best asset: your legs.
• Go off center: an apple body shape should avoid clingy tops that draw attention to the middle.
• Accentuate the positives: wear empire waists to complement your body shape. An empire waist dress is cut to hit the narrowest part of your figure and float over everything else.
• Make a beeline for A-line: wear an A-line dress to accentuate the narrowest part of your figure and camouflage other areas.
• Stylish separates: pair an A-line skirt with a scoop neck top or a V-neck top to achieve a stylish look.
• Get a leg up: wide leg pants or bootcut pants and jeans keep your silhouette balanced. Wear a pair of bootcut jeans with a higher rise to keep everything in place.
• Create an optical illusion: select tops, like women's tunics, that skim your midsection. Tunics with defined waists under the bust are especially flattering, as they make the waist look trimmer.
• Highlight your décolletage: draw attention up and emphasize your bust by wearing tops with a lower neckline, like V-neck shirts. A tunic top with a scoop neck is particularly pretty for apple body shapes.

Styles Suggested for your Shape:

• Empire Waist Dresses
• A-line Dresses
• Bootcut & Wide-Leg Pants
• Tunics
• Lower Neckline Tops

Outfit ideas & how to dress your body type

• Balancing act: veer toward clothes that give you curves on the bottom and define your waist to help to balance your upper body.
• Don designs that define: swap your baggy tops that don't define the waist for something more fitted.
• Highlight your décolletage: high necklines make your bust appear even larger. Opt for a scoop neck top instead.
• Accentuate the positives: make the most of your curves and keep your look in balance with a slightly lowered neckline like a scoop neck or V-neck.
• Create an optical illusion: avoid the trap of an inverted triangle shape by wearing solid colors and dark prints on top and prints on bottom. Try pairing a V-neck T-shirt with a floral skirt.
• Get a leg up: balance your proportions by pairing your V-neck shirts with a pair of bootcut jeans or a striped skirt.
• Fit to print: fully busted body shapes benefit from bold patterns on the bottom. An A-line skirt with a bold tribal print pairs perfectly with dark V-neck tops to complement your body shape.
• Strike a sleek silhouette: fitted tops and sweaters work beautifully with bootcut pants and wide leg pants. Or go adventurous in a tribal print skirt.
• Manage your assets: the right bra size makes all the difference. Ill-fitting bras can add additional bulk and make your body shape appear even larger, especially when worn under fitted shirts or V-neck shirts. Are you overhanging at the sides? Does your bra ride up in the front? If so, it may be time to try a different size to achieve a proper fit.

Styles suggested for your shape:

• Scoop Neck Tops
• V-neck Tops
• Fitted Tops & Sweaters
• Bootcut & Wide-Leg Pants
