Clothing by body shape

Sometimes buying new clothes become a real torture. Skirt makes you look short, pants fat, that wonderful dress looks just ridiculous on you. Why is that so? It's because of your body shape. The salvation for this problem is very easy - define how you are shaped and choose the right clothing. Properly chosen outfit will hide all your shortages, therefore you'll feel beautiful and self confident.

First of all there are some main rules about looking good no matter what's your body shape. Directing observers' eyes where you want it to be is a very clever step. If you think your waist is not perfect but your neck is unprecedented - wear a ruffled neck blouse and necklace, it'll emphasize your beautiful neck. There are many ways to point out some certain part of your body while hiding others, just be attentive and you'll find a way to do it.

There are four main body shapes: tall and thin, tall and bulky, short and thin, short and bulky. Most women dream to be tall and thin. Girls with such body shape are live mannequins for designers, it is said that they can wear anything. That's not far from truth, yet colors are still very important and have to be matched with skin and hair tones. Sometimes women think they are too tall. In this case you should avoid high heels, minimize padding on your shoulders. If you are happy with your height, but find yourself too skinny avoid massive padding, heavy shoes and try to keep everything skinny instead of wearing clinging clothes.

If you're tall and bulky your clothing must fit perfectly well. It's common that shoulders are the narrowest part of tall and bulky people, so they should be always carefully fitted. Right coloring is always a good way out. Black, navy and brown are perfect. However, if they're out of season they will pay attention to your bulkiness. Tops should be as simple as possible, uncluttered, so they would de-emphasize your upper body part. Basically all patterns should be small and muted.

If you are short and thin, colors are vital for you. One color or a mix of one-color tone is best. Vertical patterns and seaming are also very good. Simple dresses and jumpers tend to give a longer line for short women, shorter jackets gives a leggier appearance, wearing solids prints instead of large and splashy ones will also help to optically make you higher. Most short women doesn't bother to wear high heeled shoes, well they should because it's probably the best way to achieve the effect. However, don't make too much of it, too high or massive shoes will make you look ridiculous instead of elegant.

Women who are short and bulky should be excessively attentive while choosing clothes. You're clothing must fit perfectly well to hide the details you don't like. You may use all the advices for short women and some of those for tall and bulky women; especially important is the part about shoulders. Women who have such body shape should avoid skintight, avoid soft at the neck and the collar, breast pocket and all the other pockets, shouldn't wear anything that is big, bulky or complicated.
