Fashion / Identifying Your Body Shape.. by Emmanwilson: 3:00pm On Feb 20, 2013
dentifying your body shape can benefit you in many ways. Not only can it help you choose flattering clothing for your body, Understanding your body type is quite simple, and all you need is an accurate tape measure. Most body shape definitions are determined by the proportion of the shoulders or bust, waist and hips. To get accurate results, measure around the fullest part of your bust and hips, and the narrowest part of your waist. This is how most garments are fit, so knowing your own size will help you when shopping or ordering clothes without trying them on first.

If you have an Hourglass figure, your waist will be considerably narrower than your hips and bust. Many hourglass-figured women have a difference of between 5-10 inches (12.7-25.4 cm) between their narrowest and widest points. Women with hourglass figures should wear clothes that accentuate their small waists, these clothes will help preserve the lines of your body, and give greater emphasis to your fabulous curves.

Pear body shapes, also called spoons or triangles, are larger at the hips than they are at the bust and shoulders. Experts recommend that people with a pear shaped body dress to accentuate their top half, drawing the eye upward to the chest, neck and shoulders. Flowing tops help balance out a pear figure, as do bold printed shirts, A-line skirts, and dark-washed jeans.

The opposite of a pear body shape is called an Inverted Triangle or Cone. People with these characteristics will be wider through the shoulders and bust and narrower at the hip. Flowing, full skirts are a great choice for this body type, while dark or plain fabrics on top will help minimize a size difference.

Straight Body Type
The bust and hips are basically the same size. The waist is slightly smaller than the bust and hips.

Oval Body Type
The waist is larger than the bust and hips. The hips are narrow compared to the shoulders. Breasts are ample in size.

Diamond Body Type
The waist is larger than the bust and hips. The shoulders are narrow compared to the hips. Breasts are small to medium in size.

Fashion magazines frequently post guides to shopping for your body shape. While these can be helpful in ensuring a clean silhouette, they are not universally perfect. Everyone’s body is different, and probably the most important component to dressing well is personal style. Allow your body shape to be a guideline, but no matter what, choose clothing that makes you feel beautiful.
Fashion / Fashion Tips For Short Men by Emmanwilson: 11:45am On Feb 06, 2013
Dealing with issues of height often presents a great challenge for men (and women) who are not born within the statistical norm. People come in all shapes and sizes, and physical ideals are always biased against those who don’t fall within the “average” range. But we’re here today to discuss ways to help vertically challenged men make the most of their stature.

Physique

Aside from elevating shoes, there’s not really much you can do to increase your height. However, you can make sure that you don’t do anything that will make you look shorter. Paying attention to your posture is an important thing, since good posture maximizes the proportions of your body. And as unfair as it is, having a shorter b ody means that you can’t as easily hide any excess weight. Fifteen extra pounds on a guy who’s five-foot-four looks like a lot more weight than on a guy who’s six-foot. Because of this, many shorter men try to pay extra attention to their diets and managing their weight.

It’s also important to remember body proportions in all cases. I’ve known shorter men who were into working out, who made their bodies appear even shorter because they bulked up their bodies through weight-training. They may have had amazingly low levels of body fat, but they found that they looked like Homunculus because of the breadth of their physiques.

Hair

Hair is another consideration that some short people don’t think of in terms of helping them make the most of their stature. While there is only so much that can reasonably be done to increase the appearance of height (before the hair becomes a caricature of a normal style) having the wrong style can make an individual look shorter and squat.

As usual, the key is balance and proportion. Shorter hairstyles are good, particularly those that taper along the sides and in the nape of the neck. This helps to make the neck appear longer. Longer hair styles, and even the mop-top shag cuts that are popular today, can make the head and neck appear minimized and give that squat look you want to avoid. If you want to have a little length to your hair, make sure it’s in the top section, and feel free to “pump it up” a little. A bit of lift with a faux hawk style or some spikiness can make your look a little taller, without looking like you’re trying too hard.
