Today I decided to make another body shape series, this time with the focus on specific items of clothing. I think this might be easier for some people, especially those who either aren't sure which body shape category they fall into or are just a mixture of two! This time I'm focusing on tops. Here are my tips for the different styles that exist!
Saint Tropez
The Empire-Line Shirt
Works best on: Pear shapes and boyish shapes (makes the bust look bigger)
Looks worst on: Apple shapes (it can make them look pregnant!)
Esprit
The Grecian Straps
Works best on: Full-figure, hourglass and apple shapes
Amity
The Racer Back and/or Halter Neck
Works best on: Athletic shapes and apple shapes
Saint Tropez
The High Neck
Works best on: Pear shapes and boyish shapes
Looks worst on: Full-figure, hourglass and apple shapes
InWear
The Basic Tank
Looks great on: Every shape! :) It just depends on how you style it!
Esprit
The Layered Shirt
Works best on: Full-figures, hourglass shapes and apple shapes
Rare
The Waterfall Cardigan
Works best on: Apple shapes (it elongates the body) and also petite girls
Dunnes Stores
The Boyfriend Cardigan
Works best on: Apple shapes (same as above)
Zara
The V-neck
Works best on: Apple, hourglass shapes and full-figures
Looks worst on: Athletic shapes
I hope you found this post helpful! Let me know what item you want me to focus on next! :)
Stay Stylish!

Great tips! I myself am hour glass shaped and feel most comfortable with v-necks with a tank underneath. I think they give my body more shape. At all costs, I usually avoid empire waistline shirts because they give the preggers look. I prefer wrap tops that have a V and accentuate my natural waist.

Love these posts, thanks for all the tips.
ReplyDeleteThe video was great as always, I think your fashion videos are some of my favorites...although I watch most any video you make. :)
I used to think I was a pear shape, but I took my measurements and it looks like I am an hourglass. So it is great to see some tips for that. Thanks!
such a great post anna!
ReplyDeletei love how you have included pieces that work on the entire body shape (ie. waterfall) and not just top :-)
thanks for the tips as always!

Great tips! I think too that hourglass can wear the two cardigans above if they belt it at the waist! :)
ReplyDeleteSuch good advice and that boyfriend cardigan is beyond amazing. I would be living in that!
ReplyDeleteThe dotted top is perfect, material, shape and pattern! :) Love it.
