Ideas on how to shop for your body shape

Fashion is about being comfortable in your own skin. Generally you might have an idea of the type of clothes that look great on you, but it’s always good to know what are the other factors to consider when shopping for your body shape.

Here’s a handy guide that works well for all body shapes by flaunting your favourite features in style.

Dress for your chest 

Get rid of those baggy shirts that hides your curves. Make an effort to get yourself some sweetheart neckline tops or A-line dresses that draw attention to your upper body. If you have a smaller chest, you could wear a padded bra to show off some cleavage.

Flaunt your curves 

Try on A-line skirts, side cut-out dresses, high-waisted jeans or pants that would emphasise your waist and give your body a clear shape.

Accentuate your legs 

Dress up in dresses, skirts, shorts or elongating flare jeans that highlight the length of your legs. As for shoes, opt for pumps that match your skin tone to provide an illusion of longer legs.

Remember, the key is to find clothes that accentuate your body shape instead of trying to hide your amazing curves under yards of material.
