Fashion Friday

Love is in the Air this month! Do you Love your wardrobe? Do you love YOU for the REAL women you are with a REAL body shape?

For the next few weeks I will focus on dressing for the different body types and shapes, and this week it is about the hourglass shape. Do you know which wardrobe pieces to pick to enhance this figure type?

This body shape is characterized by a waist that is 4" or more smaller than your bust and hips.

  • If you have this body type, clothes with fitted waists enhance your shape.
  • Avoid oversized clothing and especially anything without a waistline.
  • V-neck and other styles that show some skin are flattering.
  • Avoid tight or clingy pieces in your wardrobe. Wear fabrics that drape smoothly.
  • Tops and jackets should end before your fullest points.

Your comfort and personal taste and style will guide you to your favorites.
