Unique Fashion for Those Embracing and Celebrating Their Curvier Bodies
When styling your curvy body, it’s important to choose clothing that is the right fit—neither too tight nor too loose, as it can either constrict or add unnecessary volume.
Bold patterns are an excellent choice, whether they’re geometric shapes, abstract designs, or motifs inspired by nature. Your body type effortlessly carries bold patterns, which make it stand out.
As for accessories, feel free to enjoy and play with a burst of colors and diverse shapes. Opt for spacious handbags, and indulge in necklaces adorned with large pearls or uniquely shaped gemstones. Oversized scarves are always a fabulous choice.
Let the color palette and body type be your starting points, offering guidance and encouraging experimentation. Don’t dwell solely on sizes or body shapes—consider personality and temperament. Next, observe the overall figure, identifying what you love and wish to accentuate.
With this body type, we don’t recommend playing with proportions. Instead, let clothing follow the body’s natural lines, ensuring a comfortable, relaxed fit without being too snug.
Emphasized Waist
Regardless of size, if you have an hourglass or pear-shaped figure, don’t hesitate to highlight your waist. The belt should always be positioned at the narrowest part.
For a pear-shaped body, where light colors visually broaden and dark colors visually narrow, you can pair a dark-colored skirt with a lighter blouse. The skirt may have a few pleats at the waist for a casually flowing look.
Monochromatic Clothing Combination
Clothing combinations in a single color visually elongate the figure.
This doesn’t have to be a dress; you can combine a skirt or trousers with a blouse in the same color. A cardigan in an intense and completely different color can be added, and the silhouette will still appear visually elongated.
“Rectangular” and “Apple-shaped” Body Types
For ladies with a distinctive rectangular or apple-shaped body type, straight-cut shirt dresses – dresses that don’t cinch at the waist – work wonders. If you have athletic legs, which is often the case with this body type, it’s recommended to wear a shorter skirt or dress, reaching the knee or just below, to accentuate them.
On the other hand, the waist can be emphasized with a belt. In this case, it’s recommended for the belt to be of a different color to make it noticeable. Over this, you can wear a cardigan or jacket, which visually narrows the waist as only a part of the belt is visible (as shown in the picture with the yellow dress).
All straight-cut dresses look fantastic, whether they lean towards a casual or classic style.
Neckline, Asymmetry, and Bold Patterns
Ladies with a more prominent stature almost always have a beautiful neckline that shouldn’t be hidden. Any asymmetry, as well as bold patterns, will create an intriguing look. Prominent ladies can carry off bold patterns better than any other body type.
