Fashion Tips: How To Dress To Flatter Your Figure

Every woman is beautiful in her own way. But each woman has some concerns about her body and always wants to make it a bit better. This can easily be achieved if you follow some fashion tips and learn to dress right for your body type. First of all, there are some basic dressing rules you need to remember. These rules will help you reach the desired result.

1. Active prints, patterns and colors tend to draw attention. Use them on the parts of your body you want to accentuate.
2. On the contrary, neutral colors (except white) and black are good for hiding and retouching shapes which you are not happy with.
3. High heel shoes always make the body look slimmer and taller. But don’t go too far with the height. First you will have pain in your feet and back, and second, no one looks pretty when walking like a stork.
4. Knee length dresses and skirts also make you taller. If you choose a skirt of a right shape, like a pencil-skirt, your body will have the desirable sand clock shape.
5. Vertical lines tend to make you look thinner and taller, while horizontal lines give you volume.
6. Always balance the top and the bottom of your body. If you wear a sleek blouse, combine it with loose pants or skirt. Wear a mini skirt with a turtleneck and a low-cut shirt with wide pants.

Now that you know all these rules you can use them to flatter your body. If you are shorter than you would like to be, invest into comfortable high heel shoes.

If you want to look slimmer accentuate your waist with a belt and wear clothes of neutral colors which fit you. Avoid wearing oversized or clinging clothes. Knee length dresses with a high waist look gorgeous on women with rounded shapes.

If your shoulders are too narrow compared to your hips wear v-neck or low cut blouses with colorful prints or horizontal lines. If, on the contrary, your top is heavy, accentuate your waist and hips, while wearing dark blouses. Long tunics will stretch your upper body making it slimmer.


You can easily overcome any shortcoming you think you have. All you have to do is to follow these fashion tips and be smart about what you wear.
