"Fashion is not something that exists only in clothes. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what's going on." (Coco Chanel)
Whether you're going to a party, to work or just out shopping, you always want to look your best. And what can help you do that more than a perfectly fitting dress that accentuates your natural beauty and hides those places you think aren't perfect? How we dress can greatly influence how we feel and how others perceive us. In such a context, it's important to know your figure and know what clothing styles best portray our strength and beauty. In this post, we'll look at different types of female characters and what cuts suit them best.
Character Types:
Female figures are often divided into several categories: apple, pear, hourglass, rectangle, and inverted triangle. These categories are based on differences in body proportion.
1. Apple: This shape is characterised by a wider centre of the body. Women's suits or trousers with a raised waist, A-line dresses or tunics are the ideal choice for this body type. These cuts accentuate the shoulders and legs while hiding the wider middle.
2. Pear: This body type is wider at the bottom than at the top. Sleeveless dresses, skirts or pants with a raised waist are ideal for this type. These pieces will accentuate the waist and hide wider hips.
3. Hourglass: this body type is characterised by equal width of shoulders and hips with a clearly defined waist. Tight-fitting dresses, crop tops, peplum tops or high-waisted suits and jumpsuits are ideal for this type. These pieces accentuate the waist and balance the proportionality of the body. You can also use a belt to accentuate the waist.
4. Rectangle: This body type is characterized by equal width of shoulders, waist and hips. A-line dresses, tunics with a belt under the bust or high-waisted costumes are ideal for this type. These pieces create the illusion of a waist and balance the proportions of the body. Don't be afraid of ruffles and patterns.
5. Inverted triangle: This body type is characterized by wider shoulders than hips. A-line dresses, pleated skirts or the beloved and hated °bell sleeves° are ideal for this type. These pieces balance out the broader shoulders and create the illusion of a more proportionate body.
Knowing your body type and controlling what cuts are best can be a key element in dressing for success. It's important to remember that every woman is beautiful and that these categories are just a guide to how best to accentuate your natural beauty. Every woman has her own unique style, and that is what she should follow at all times. However, it's good to take advice to make you feel feminine and confident.
Finally, remember that clothing is a tool to express yourself. So feel free to dress for success and show the world your strength and beauty.
