    Body Types: Celebrity Guide On How To Dress For Your Body Type

    Body Types: Celebrity Guide On How To Dress For Your Body Type

    You walk towards a store gazing at the dress near the window pane. In your head, you already have a rough plan (pseudo) about where to wear it, how to style it and everything else possible. Thinking you know how to dress for your body type, you walk into the fitting room with your chin up and shoulders high! Everything comes crashing down because the dress doesn’t suit you. That sums up most shopping experiences. Why? Because, it’s not for your body type, simple! And most of us are just unaware of these basics. 

    Let’s dive into the types of body shapes and clothes that can fit in properly.

    An Apple Body Shape

    When you have a heavier upper body in comparison to your lower part of the body, it is considered you have an Apple-shaped body. People with this body type usually have broad shoulders, bigger bust lines, and that’s why it feels like the weight gathers around the waistline.

    It can be hard to believe that someone so svelte and charming as Angelina Jolie could be an exact fit for an apple shaped body. This just goes to show that being an apple shaped body doesn’t mean that you are heavy or carting around a forever muffin top in your abdomen. An apple body shape can be tall and slim as well!

    A-line or empire cuts are ideal for an Apple-shaped individual. Printed dresses or patterned jackets that add a layer to shift the focus should be considered. Monochrome looks, dark colors, full or 3/4th sleeves dresses, and flowy tops will help. You could also wear flared bottoms; palazzos etc. to create a balance. 

    Shop the looks:

    Superdown Rachel Wrap Dress
    Alexis Nizarra Dress
    Houseofcb Eugenia White Leg Trousers

    An Hourglass Body Shape

     This body type is the most balanced of all with a proportionate top and bottom part of the body with a well-defined waistline. So when you look for dresses, choose the ones that do just that for you. It is a body to die for, so flaunt it and in the right way.

    Just as the hour glass shape is the most balanced of all shapes, Beyonce Knowles is a perfect example . Raw images prove that all her sexy arches are incredibly genuine and stunning.

    Dresses that cinch in the waist will be your best fit for an hour-glass body shape. V or plunge V and sweetheart necklines help flaunt the upper body. A belt at your natural waistline or below the belly button will help flaunt the waistline. Almost anything looks great on this body type. But pairing it up with loose tops or bottoms might kill the look!

    Shop the looks:

    Houseofcb Annika Black Puff sleeve Bandage Dress
    Jonathan Simkhai Vegan Leather Flysuit
    BCBG Ruched Poplin Top

    A Pear Body Shape

    The pear-shaped body is all in the lower part of the body. The butt and thighs are visually bigger than the upper body. You’re lucky if you’ve naturally got a figure like this or achieved this with workouts because this body is a rage right now. 

    Known for her killer body shape, Kim Kardashian West has a narrow waist and hips wider than their shoulders. This means she is a pear-shaped woman!. Narrow waist, wide hips and thighs, smaller butts, these are all attributes of a pear-shaped body.

    Wide-legged trousers, A-line skirts or dresses with patterned tops that add definition to the upper body. Skinny jeans with Crop tops, V or deep-V, scoop or boat necks will balance your bottom out. Skin fitting tops and loose bottoms will not look so good on a pear-shaped body, unless you prefer the look.

    Shop the looks:

    Alexandre Vauthier Plunging Mini Dress
    Camila Coelho Reyna Maxi Dress
    Ohpolly All A Dream Ruched Mesh Mini Skirt

    Rectangle Body Shape

    The rectangle body shape tends to have the easiest body for dressing. It has no defined waist and the curves on the body aren’t much. The rectangle body shape is the most dominant body shape followed by the pear shape.

    Cameron Diaz rocked these outfits revealing her rectangle body shape. When it comes to rectangle body shapes, everything you wear should help create curves and dimension, right down to the shoe you choose. 

    While looking for an outfit for a rectangle body shape, choose A-line skirts, ruffled and layered tops. A v-neck top adds dimension and curve to the upper body. Sleeveless, strapless and sweetheart lines are essential as well. Avoid dresses that are ubiquitous, they look very consuming and will not look awesome.

    Shop the looks:

    DVF Emilia Ruffled Soft Jacquard Mini Wrap Dress
    Vince Crepe Shirtdress
    Caroline Constas Onira Floral Cotton Top

    Inverted Triangle Body Shape

    This body type can also be considered as an Athletic body type. Proportionally larger upper body, broad shoulders, and an ample bust and a wide back. Slim hips and the back side may have a tendency towards the flat side.

    Looking at Heather Graham, one would go head over heels for her triangle body shape. Her outfits suit her perfectly. For inverted triangle body shapes, the hips are much narrower than the shoulders, so a pencil cut skirt, skinny jeans, etc. with any tops will look awesome. V-neck lines work well and create an illusion of narrow shoulders, so this should be your go-to neckline.

    Shop the looks:

    AQAQ Sana Belted Denim Jacket
    Misguided Blue Co-ord Button Front Midi Set
    Mango Pleated Midi Skirt

    Being informed about your body shape can solve a lot of your shopping nightmares. You at least know that if a dress is not fitting or not looking a certain way, it does not imply that you’re out of shape and you are doing things wrongly. I hope by now you have gotten a better idea of how to dress for your body type.
