Dressing For Your Body Type - Hourglass
Again, remember these are just guides – always wear what makes you feel fabulous!
Our third body type is the HOURGASS SHAPE
You describe yourself as curvy, you have a well-defined waist, bust and hip measurements are roughly even and you may have fuller bust, hips and thighs.
TOPS -- Fitted, fitted, fitted!! Celebrate your waist and highlight your neckline! Form-fitting jersey knits, wrap tops, peplum blouses, tailored tops with ample room in chest and anything with a V-neck, round neck or boat neck are your go-tos.
Breezy A-line silhouettes, flowy tunics, relaxed, boyfriend button-ups and v-neck anything. Choose fabrics that streamline from your bust through your hips.
DRESSES -- Your figure was made for dresses! Look for silhouettes like a wrap dress or the fit & flare- these naturally play up your best features. Empire dresses also work well. BEWARE of flowy styles. If you love a loose fitting dress, simple add a belt- when in doubt belt it!!
JEANS -- High-waisted, floor grazing flares and heels are your go-to. Stretchy skinny jeans and leggings are perfect to show off your curves. Fitted jumpsuits (very on trend right now!) look incredible on you. Just remember to grab a waist flattering style. Because your proportions are so well balanced you don’t need extra details like large seams or cargo pockets that accentuate your hips.
JEWELRY -- Necklaces look great on you. To play up your bust, choose a length that hits at or slightly below your collarbone.
