When it comes to dressing right for each individual body shape, it is all about balance. With clothes we can influence the visual appearance of our bodies, enhance what we like about ourselves and take the focus away from areas that we dont want too much attention to.
Clothes cant change your body, that is a matter of diet, exercise and geentics and we better make friends with what ee have, since it is what it is. There is no rule for beauty. Every woman is beautiful in her own way. There are however a few rules on what to wear and what to avoid for bringing out your best side.
Most common are five basic body shape- the pear,the reverse pear, the apple, thr hourglass and the yardstick- we may also call it the asparagus, the willow or palm.

Pears[b][/b]
With a pear shaped body you are fuller around the hips, have a wide pelvis and are small around the chest and shoulders. You ll want to get the focus on your upper body therefore tops with large patterns are great as are shiny tops in bright colours.opulent, shorter necklaces, large collars, shoulder pads and medium long jackets are good choices. V-cut necklines or wide boat cut openings wear straight cut skirts or pants in matte, solid colours, preferably darker. Avoid wide, pleater and patterned skirts. Also stay away from high waist pants with pleads or any kind of decoration that lets the eye wander to your hips.

Reverse pears[b][/b]
If you have broad shoulders and a big chest but small hips the ideal look for you are wide legged pants, roomy skirts, dresses that are cut small on top and wider below the waist. The new again baby doll look could work great for you. Avoid tight pants and skirts, voluminous tops with heavy patterns.

Apples[b][/b]
Apples are at their fullest around the middle. Simple cuts and staight lines work well for this body shape
Straight cut blouses, but please no "tents". Straight, not tight pants and skirts. Flowing fabrics, jackets that reach the top of your thights, long necklaces and flowing scarves will be very favorable. Avoid anything that is tight around the middld like waist cut dresses, large belts, tugged in blouses with an elaborate top. Also stay away from short t-shirts and short jackets. Not to mention horizontal block stripes. Try polka dots instead or vertical lines.

Hourglass[b][/b]
According to surveys the X-shape is the most coveted among women however it comes with its own challenges to be curvy on the chest as well as around the hips. If you wear tops and dresses that are too wide, perhaps to camouflage the opulence, you might appear larger than you are. If the clothes are too tight yoy might appear larger than you are. If the clothes are too tight you might resemble a 1950's pin-up model and get too much unwanted attention. Again its about balance. Everything long and flowing that brings out your waist through cut or with a belt is ideal. Sleek shapes, soft materials and subtle patterns work well as do wrap styles, be it wrap dresses, blouses or skirts. Pick jackets that have a waist. Necklaces are great at medium and short lenght. Avoid "tents", straight shapes and stiff materials. High round necklines wont do you any favour.

The yardstick[b][/b]
These lucky willows can wear just about anything. That is why the slender and straight shape is most prevalent among the world's fashion models. They even look good in tube dresses. With this slender shape blousy style look grear, striped, plaid and floral motives. Pleated skirts in all lenghts, short blazers, elaborate tops and the new ruffled dresses. Avoid tops and dresses that are plan and skin tight.

There are no real 'rules' when it comes to dressing. The above tips can help you decide and find outfits that bring out the best in you. However...if you fall in love with a special dreds, top or skirt and it makes you happy to wear it - get it and dont think about any fruits lols. All that counts in the end is that you feel good in the colours and cuts that you chose. It if makes you happy you will radiate joy and that is what fashion is all about.

Thank you for your attention.
