 Be Your Kind Of Beautiful! See What Your Body Type is
and How To Dress Accordingly.

Lean 

If you have a straight-ish waistline with no dent and a small bust size then you are a lean body type.Your shape is your advantage here. It's like a canvas and you can experiment with it. 

• Avoid baggy clothing that cling at your hip or even sleeves that are long and straight. Nothing should be straight- curve it all up!

• Opt for outfits that have cuts and prints at the waist and hip. Show off a little cleavage- flaunt it like you mean it! This will help in balancing the body structure. 

• The waist is your main focal point and you can go all out with belts ! If you are wearing a dress, put on a wide belt with an ornate buckle. 

• If you are wearing a top and a bottom combination, look for co-ordinates , for example, a v-neck top that matches in color or print with your bottom.
• Opt for necklines like leaf , Sweetheart , scoop and round.

• Choose skirts that are pleated or fluted with volume. Jodhpuri pants or pleated pants also add to the curves.

• Wear chunky jewelry. You need that little extra on your body!

Pear 

If you have small shoulders , medium bust and waist, big hips, then you have a pear shaped body. This body type is easy to dress and doesn't require much attention to details.

• Always remember to enhance your upper body - Shoulders , bust , neck and sleeves.Wear a top that has a wide shoulder and open neckline. This will give an illusion of a bigger frame. 

• Choose solid colors for the top and focus on the necklines, for example, wear a top which has a sweetheart neckline with cut-way sleeves and is not very figure hugging at the lower waist and hip. 

• When you buy dresses, always look for the ones that are not separated at the hip, be it by color blocking or even in print and solid combination. Wear itsy bitsy shorts that show off long legs and make you look lean and tall.

• When opting for a top and bottom combination make sure its a skinny fit bottom and a baggy top, this will help in evening out the body structure.

• Wear sweetheart , round , square,tube and boat necklines , at the same time avoid V, horse shoe or scoop necklines.

• Keep the silhouette simple so that you can accessorize using big earrings, chunky neck pieces and  arm-bands. Scarves , shrugs and vests are accessories you must have.

*Hint- Carry an elongated bag to take the roundness from your hip.

Apple

If you have a round-ish upper body along with a waist and hip that are kind of symmetrical , then you have an apple shaped body.  This body type is a little tricky and can go horribly wrong if you don't dress right. 

• Keep in mind that you need to streamline your body in anyways possible. Make sure you wear the right shape wear and inner wear, this is very important as it defines your outer wear.

• Opt for geometrical necklines like a straight V , a rectangle, horse shoe and square.Wear an "elongated V" neck top with a peplum and pair it with cigarette pants. 

• Wear color combinations that contrast each other in straight divisions, like black and violet. Avoid layering colors when you wear a jacket or shrug.

• Choose a dress that is stiff with sleek and straight lines or cuts. Don't wear a flowing dress, it will only add to the bulk.

• Avoid all over prints that are colorful. Sometimes wearing a corset can also bring out the best shape in you.

• Wear dainty jewelry and keep the accessorizing to a minimum.

"A personal suggestion - Carry a huge tote, this will take away the attention and visually reduce the bulk on your body".

Hourglass

If you have an upper body and a lower body in symmetry with a cinched waistline , then you are the perfect hourglass figure. This body type is perfect and does not need any enhancement. Yet many women go wrong by wearing the wrong cuts and colors. 

• Do not focus on your waist a lot. Make sure you avoid belts or outfits with a cinched waistline.  

• Wear a medium fit garment that reveals all your curves unlike very tight fitting garments That may make you look like a mountain range!

• Your body type supports prints and lines that are visually simple and straight. Do not opt for frills and peplums.

• Choose necklines that have a slight embellishment on them and are stiff. Wear a calf length dress with a simple round neckline.

• Opt for a top and bottom combination like a Tank top teamed with a comfy pair of pants and a cardigan or a sleeveless long tunic with leggings and a scarf. 

• You can wear all kinds of jewelry but do avoid hoop earrings and bangles.
