Most girls believe their body shape to be truly unique. In doing so, we often give up on the prospect of ever owning a perfect fit skirt, jeans or dress because of our unique figures. Most of us don’t really believe the ‘one size fits all’ mentality so favoured by fashion industry so we end up with a compromise before we even step out of our front door!
Unfortunately for those of us who think we are truly ‘unique, the answer is that we all do fall into one those dreaded manufacturers categories to some degree, however much we disagree.
Regardless of the types of clothes you’re looking for, its a good idea to really look at yourself in a mirror to decide for yourself exactly what body shape you are. Once that honest decision has been made, go ahead with confidence and select clothes for your body type.
The most commonly seen body shapes are:
Boyish Figure:
As the name suggests, this figure is more straight up and down no noticeable difference between the waist and the hips.
Apple:
This body type is commonly associated with people who carry extra weight around their midriff, thus giving them the round midsection or "apple" type appearance.
The Pear:
People with this body type are typically people who gain their weight around their rear, hips, and thighs. This gives them an overall appearance of a pear.
Hour Glass:
The curvy figure is often the most difficult to fit for clothing since it is represented by a narrow waist, shapely hips, and a full bust. The classic "hourglass" figure.
Other common body shapes are: The Bell, the Skittle, the Vase, the Goblet and the Cello.
Once you’ve determined your body type, you can set off on your search with a greater degree of confidence. Select clothes with care. If you have an hour glass figure, select clothing that fits your curves and offers the correct bust support for a good profile. If you are pear shaped, you may want to look for clothes that minimize your hips and rear. Trousers and skirts that are dark in colour, paired with lighter coloured shirts are often a good combination.
Go for clothes that boost your confidence, and make you feel good about your body, regardless of your shape.
