Flattering Your Figure!!


Every woman wants to look amazing in her clothes and most of us love to shop. We don't only shop with our eyes but our emotions influence our choices too. If it looks good we want it and if it fits good that usually seals the deal; However just because you like what you see doesn't mean that it will work for you. There are several things to take into consideration when choosing clothes such as colors, patterns, hem lines, size etc. It's important to go with clothes that are flattering to your figure. You don't want to go with patterns or colors that don't really work for you.
Here are just a few examples of things to consider when shopping (based on your body type): 

  • If you're short/petite you don't want to wear a light top with dark pants cause that will make you look shorter. You want to go with monochromatic looks because that will make you look taller. 
  • If you are a Plus size woman then its best to go with solid colors because bright colors will make your figure look fuller than it actually is. Bright colors like yellow, pink or any type of neon color attract attention. These colors are ideal for a woman that is thin if she wants to create the appearance of being thicker or even curvier. 
  • When it comes to wearing stripes vertical lines are the best choice for hiding flaws. If you are skinny and want to look a little thicker or curvier wearing horizontal stripes is perfect for you cause it gives the appearance of adding 10 pounds. 
  • The colors that make you look slimmer are Navy, Brown, Purple, Gray and Black of course. Black is the most flattering of all cause it makes you look slim and elegant.
  •  If you are top heavy or busty (Apple shaped) then it is best to go with dark tops/blouses. anything too bright or white will bring out the size of your upper area and bring more attention to it than you want. 
  • If you have wide hips or are bottom heavy then dark colored bottoms or vertical pin stripes would be an excellent choice for you. If you wear bright colored bottoms it will put the attention right on your hips and rear end. Remember bright colors draw attention to whatever area you wear them on. 
  • Here are some things to keep in mind when choosing accessories: If you're a plus sized woman then accessories like a small purse, belt or earrings will only draw attention to your size. You need balance so choose your accessories accordingly. Choose medium or large sized accessories because they would be a better fit for you. You can create the perfect balance by choosing big earrings, medium sized purse a wide belt or a big watch. 
  • When choosing shoes especially heels choose some that are comfortable for you to walk in. If they don't fit right then it doesn't matter how cute they look on your feet (the way you walk in them will be a distraction and take all positive attention away from the shoes) If you need to wear a 3 inch heel to feel comfortable then its okay to go with the shorter heels to increase your comfort-ability and confidence.

  • We all know what we love about our bodies and our wardrobe! We can wear clothes that enhance and accentuate our figures. It's not about perfection, but rather creating the illusion of it through our wardrobe choices!
