How to Dress for Your Body Type and Feel Great

Dressing for your body is not about hiding anything. It is about emphasizing what you like.

The rules are simple. Draw attention to your favorite features. Create balance with proportions. Wear things that fit.

Fit is the most important thing. A cheap shirt that fits perfectly looks better than an expensive shirt that is too big or too small. Find a tailor. Spend the fifteen dollars to get your clothes adjusted. It changes everything.

If you are tall, wear horizontal elements to break up your height. Wide belts, color blocking, cropped pants.

If you are petite, wear vertical elements to elongate. Monochromatic outfits, V necks, high waisted pants.

If you have broad shoulders, balance them with wider pants or skirts. A line skirts create a balanced silhouette.

If you have a larger midsection, empire waists and wrap dresses are flattering. Avoid stiff fabrics that add bulk.

These are guidelines. Not rules. Wear what makes you feel good. Confidence is the best accessory.
