Finding the right fit clothing for your body shape can be a daunting task, but with a few tips and tricks, you can make it easier and less stressful. Here are some key steps to follow when looking for clothes that flatter your body type.
Step 1: Determine your body shape
The first step in finding the right fit clothing for your body shape is to determine your body shape. The most common body shapes are apple, pear, hourglass, and rectangle. To determine your body shape, stand in front of a full-length mirror and observe the proportions of your body. Consider the following factors:
- Shoulders: Are they wider than your hips?
- Bust: Is it larger than your hips?
- Waist: Do you have a defined waistline?
- Hips: Are they wider than your shoulders?
- Thighs: Are they proportionate to your hips?
Once you have determined your body shape, you can start to look for clothes that flatter your specific proportions.
Step 2: Choose clothes that emphasise your best features
When shopping for clothes, it’s important to choose items that highlight your best features. For example, if you have an hourglass figure, look for clothes that cinch in at the waist to emphasize your curves. If you have a pear-shaped body, look for clothes that emphasize your upper body, such as off-the-shoulder tops or boat necklines.
Step 3: Avoid clothes that emphasise your problem areas
While it’s important to highlight your best features, it’s equally important to avoid clothes that draw attention to your problem areas. For example, if you have a larger midsection, avoid wearing tight-fitting tops or dresses that emphasize this area. Instead, look for clothes that drape over your midsection, such as flowy tops or dresses with an A-line skirt.
Step 4: Experiment with different styles
Don’t be afraid to experiment with different styles and cuts to find what works best for your body shape. For example, if you have a rectangle body shape, try wearing clothes with ruffles or pleats to create the illusion of curves. If you have an apple-shaped body, try wearing wrap dresses or tops to create a defined waistline.
Step 5: Get your clothes tailored
One of the best ways to ensure that your clothes fit you perfectly is to get them tailored. This is especially important if you have a unique body shape or if you have trouble finding clothes that fit properly off the rack. A tailor can help you adjust the fit of your clothes so that they flatter your body shape and accentuate your best features.
