How does it look like?
Shoulders and hips are of approximately
same width, waist is only 15 – 20 cm narrower
What should you wear?
It is important to wear clothing that visually divides the parts of your body. You need
to artificially create curves from the waist
down and up to look more womanly. A
good idea for you would be frills and pleats
in order to add volume and texture to your
look. “A” style skirts in under-knee length or
bright coloured miniskirts can add to your
good looking legs; the same as “A” or Empire
style dresses will work for you nicely. Long
and striking necklaces and scarves are good
for you; the same as elegant shoes with flat
heels.
What shouldn’t you wear?
No baggy jeans and unisex clothes
would be a good idea for you as well as no
straight maxi-skirt or maxi-dresses and unless you have a full bosom, stay away from
wrapped in tops.
How does it look like?
Narrow shoulders and rather small
breast area are supported by voluptuous
hips and buttocks. The upper body parts
can be up to three sizes smaller than hips
and thighs.
What should you wear?
It is beneficial for you to highlight the
upper part of your body and suppress the
lower one, colours work well in this – dark
ones down and bright ones up. Shoulder
patches will work for you as they optically
widen your shoulders in order to balance
their width with the width of your hips. Any
distractions are welcome – brooch, necklace, scarf around your shoulders or a pushup bra. Empire style dresses and round skirts
can work for you greatly; the same as proper
“A” style skirts with a highlighted waist.
What shouldn’t you wear?
Straight skirts and skinny jeans should
be a no-no for you as they show your voluptuous legs. Also choose nothing that makes
your breasts look smaller.
How does it look like?
Typical male athletic figure with rather
smaller buttocks and thin legs, usually with
wide breast area, possibly one size bigger
than the lower part of the body.
What should you wear?
Dark colours up and bright colours down
– that is a good idea for you. V-neck longer
monochromatic tops, ideally tied up around
the neck are great. Asymmetrical décolleté
and well-cut elegant shirts will work for you
very well, too. Long pants or skirts with patterns, “A” style skirts and even straight baggy
dresses are fine. Choose dresses with details
on the lower part and extravagant shoes
and you’ll look amazing.
What shouldn’t you wear?
No striking décolleté, frills or ruffled sleeves and absolutely no string tops. Stay away
from shoulder patches as well.
