Your Body, Your Goals

  • Your Body Shape

    • Bottom half is smaller than your top half
    • Little or no definition in your waist
    • Straight and square shoulder line
    • Great legs

  • Your Body Shape Goals

    • Defining your waist
    • Softening your shoulder line
    • Drawing attention to your great legs
    • Keep any volume or major details to your bottom half
    • Avoid items that extend or accentuate the shoulders - puff sleeves, shoulder pads
    • Avoid busy patterns on top

Trousers

  • Best Trousers

    • You are very lucky because you have a really wide choice of pants and jeans that look great on you
    • Skinny, slim and ankle grazer trousers
    • Combats
    • Go for any style that will accentuate your hips and bottom such as pocket detail and embellishment
    • Light coloured trousers will be flattering
    • Boyfriend style jeans, distressed look, or coloured jeans, details on hip and thigh area e.g. various washes, ripped, embellishment, turn ups, big back pockets
    • Your legs are your best feature and personally I think you look amazing in skinny jeans. But try have some sort of distressed or faded detail so the body doesn’t appear unbalanced. Knee high boots over skinny jeans are amazing on you

  • Trousers to Avoid

    • Tapered trousers or high waisted trousers
    • Leggings can be tricky to style well for your shape
    • Avoid overly wide leg trousers

Tops

  • Best Tops

    • Look for tops that will accentuate your waist and help balance you bust with your hips
    • V-neck, U, strapless & asymmetric tops
    • Cardigans worn open will soften your shape
    • If you are wearing strapless just be sure to add curves to your hips as well
    • Simple straight lines and wrap tops
    • Tops with banding or nipping at the waist
    • Tailored shirts, jackets & cardigans with belts
    • Coats that flare from the waist are perfect
    • Small lapels and collarless styles will flatter
    • Look out for single button coats
    • Dark colour tops

  • Tops to Avoid

    • Stay away from details that will accentuate the shoulders such as puffy sleeves and shoulder pads
    • Puff sleeves and rushed shoulders will broaden you
    • Shoulder pads, off shoulder, shoulder slits or slash necks
    • Over sized and shapeless ones
    • Embellishment on the shoulders

Skirts and Dresses

  • Best Skirts and Dresses

    • Wrap and empire cut dresses
    • Fitted bodices with flared skirts
    • High waisted puff, full circle and tulip skirts shapes are great
    • A-line dresses and skirts will be perfect to add volume and bulk to your lower half
    • Pleats and patterns will also be good
    • Add volume to your lower body with skirts with a lot of detail, such as panels, ruffles, pleats and other styles that will make your hips look broader and therefore more proportionate to the shoulders.
    • Pencil skirts that drop straight from the waist instead of coming in towards the knee

  • Skirts and Dresses to Avoid

    • Frill sleeve and puff sleeve dresses
    • Very fitted skirts will make you look top heavy
    • Avoid Body-con dresses or tight fitted skirts
    • Dress sleeved that finish next to the bust
