Body types...

Wanna find out you're body type so we can get you dressed on point???




Let's start with pear shaped..
(a pear shaped body tends to have a slim size of waist and breast and have fuller hips and legs. She often has a heavy bum and legs & and a flatter rear end on the upper area)
Don't believe those old lies that you can't find nice clothes for your body shape. Follow these tips and you may even surprise yourself!


Do's

  • Say yes to padded shoulders or A-symmetrical shoulder cut dresses, this will help balance out the width of your hips.
  • Call attention to your upper body by adding beautiful scarves to your outfits, wearing V-necks and eye-catching prints. Beautiful statement necklaces and earrings will look beautiful on you.
  • Dark pants or skirts are your best friends:) 
  • Wear tops/blouses/shirts with cap sleeves or any type of detailed prints and patterns. These also help balance out your body beautifully.
  • Halter necks are a yesss!
  • A-lince skirts and dresses with waist belts will show off your waist
  • Shoes: pointed toe shoes will make your legs look long & slim ;) 

Don't 

  • Printed pants are a no go. They draw too much attention to your bottom half of your body.
  • Plain pants/skirts/dresses. Keep them as plain as possible. No pleats, side pockets or fancy additions that add bulk to your hips
  • Oversized dresses are a nooooo
  • No to capris pants. They will make your legs look heavier & shorter.

They have menswear too.

Friday look

Let's look at the jumpsuit/romper for a sec.

They are proven to be quite versatile & can be styled in a range of ways, from completely casual to smart/sophisticated.
To make matters even better is that it's a complete outfit in one, so can be mixed & matched with completely anything to make a day/evening wear outfit.

Whether you have an apple shaped body, pear shaped body, petite shaped or a heavy plus size shape body, they come in different styles to suit your body shape according to your comfort level.
