Dressing For Your Body Type - Hourglass
- Belted, wrap and cinched waist tops are a perfect complement to your shape.
- Wear form fitted clothing to show your tiny waist.
- Darting, gathering and belts on outerwear will allow your figure to show through even the thickest clothing.
- A tunic and leggings is not your best look, but if you choose to wear the look, be sure your tunic has great shape. Again, look for darting, belting and empire waisted clothing.
- V-neck tops will work best for your larger chest. Do not wear anything too high-necked.
- Wide legged jeans and a flowy top would look great.

Dressing For Your Body Type - Banana
So, what problem are we addressing with this body type? Creating curves where there really are none.
- Choose dresses and tops that have cinched waists, this will create a waist for you.
- Structure, structure, structure!! Darting, it is going to do wonders for you.
- You can also pull off a bolder cut, peplum! This will give you the shape you crave!
- Maxi dresses are great for you because they usually have a seam right under the bust or a drop waist, see above. It gives a sense of shape .
- A-Line skirts are for you. They will give you some hips.
- Avoid clingy fabrics and fits. These will only show the world you have no curve to your body.
- Skinny jeans in a bold color need to be paired with something with shape on top.
- Wide leg jeans can also give your body a sense of shape, just be sure they are the right size or you will look baggy and saggy.
- Belt everything! Not really, but belts are a great way to cinch a waist.
- Print, texture and bulk (ruffles, lace, bows) will add another dimension with ease.
