For an hourglass figure it is important to have a balanced outfit which flows and fits your figure perfectly. When shopping you should avoid oversize dresses and shapeless styles which will make your outfit look boxy and square shaped. Looking more towards cinched waistline clothes and form fitting tops to match your body type. Also, by having a belt to go over your dress allows you to get the most out of your hourglass shape.

When having an athletic (triangular) shaped body type, it is essential to stay away from sharp points on your outfit. Such as avoiding curve hugging fabrics, puffy skirts and oversized styles. Again, having a balanced proportionate outfit which can be bigger from the bottom and fitted from the top allows you to have more volume from the upper part of your outfit. Having fitted tops and looser clothes from the waist down compliments your thin waist by having your outfit flow from one piece to another.

With a rectangle body shape you want to create a waistline, try to avoid the same size top and bottoms. To create the illusion of a waistline use belts, mid-waisted trousers, and belted jackets. Try to avoid silhouettes that are straight jackets and straight trousers and there are too many vertical-like shapes together. Pick softer fabrics can also help you elevate your look.

Round/apple shapes are known for a larger upper body than lower body with less definition on the waistline. This body shape has great legs but lacks definition from the hips up. It can be difficult to shop for as the tendency is to buy oversized clothes. To aim for a balanced look try well-fitted tailored tops and jackets that are not skin tight, paired with jeans. For dresses opt for a slim fit dress that hits above the knee, or pencil skirts paired with a loose-fit top.

For my plus size ladies a good idea is to start from the top and work your way down. Tunic Tops to V necks and A line silhouettes are a perfect beginning not only are they flattering but also very comfortable pieces. If you’re a fan of dresses during this lovely summer time then you’re in luck because strapless dresses look amazing on. Maxi dresses with low necklines are also super attractive. However if ever in doubt dark colours can be a look that's slimming.
