How to Select Clothes for Your Body Type

We all like to think our body shape is unique. In doing so, we’ve almost given up finding the perfect fit clothing even before we set out to shop, given our unique figures. Most of us have never been fooled by 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!
The unpleasant truth 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, whether we‘re comfortable with the idea or not.
Whatever type 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:
The 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 gain weight in their middle section, thus giving them the round midsection or "apple" type appearance.
The Pear:
People with this body type are typically people who gain their weight on their thighs, rear, and hips. This gives them an general appearance of a pear.
Hour Glass:
The curvy figure is often the most challenging to fit for clothing since it is represented by a full bust, narrow waist and shapely hips. The classic "hourglass" figure.
Some other body shapes are: The Cello, the bell, the Skittle, the Vase and the goblet.
Having determined your body type, you can set off on your search with confidence. Select clothes with care. If you have an hour glass figure, purchase clothing that fits your curves and offers the correct bust support for a good profile. If you are pear shaped, you may wish to find 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.
Select clothes that give you a boost in confidence, and make you feel good about your body, regardless of your shape.
Remember: Online shopping has opened the floodgates to your choice of accessible prices, brands, sizes and styles. Your choice is no longer restricted to your local high street; there is an ever changing choice online, 24 hours a day.
Happy Shopping
