Dressing Yourself in Fashion According to Your Body Shape

What's fashionable and what's not

Women love to dress up. Shopping is a hobby and accessorizing is a joy not understood by many especially men. However, even how much you'd love to wear that dress you saw on the window of one of those boutiques you walked by you know it might not look good on you. Some dress looks good and fit for you by why some of them don't? It feels kind of stressing when you badly want to dress up and yet you end up dressing bad.

Knowing your body shape

Well not anymore. It seems that dressing well is proportional to your knowledge of knowing whether you are dressing right according to your body shapes. You heard it before. And you'll be reading it again here: no two women can be the perfect mirror of each other even twins have their own differences and all women come in different shapes. So if you want to dress well and dress best, here's how you will be able to know your body shape.

The PEAR BODY shape women are those who have wider hips than their shoulders, rounded bottom and a well-defined waist. Their best assets are their flat stomach, shoulders and lower torso.

The WEDGE BODY shape women are those who have wider shoulders, broader chest and a narrow waist and hips. Their best assets are their long legs.

The RECTANGLE BODY shape women are those who are usually categorized as slim giving them the athletic look because of the almost similar width of their shoulders, hips and waist. Their best assets are their lean and long arms and legs.

The APPLE BODY shape women are wider than any other body types because of the weight collecting in the upper torso mostly. Their best assets are their legs.

The HOURGLASS BODY shape women or what they call the "curved women" has all the right curves in proportion with a tiny waist. Their best assets are their curves of course.
