After losing losing 100 pounds, I’ve found that my biggest
struggle is no longer deciding what to eat… it’s deciding what to wear. Now
that I have a brand new body, I am totally clueless. Before losing all of the
weight, my daily wardrobe consisted of baggy pants and hoodies; total hottie, I
know. After some careful research, I’ve come up with some great tips to help
women of every shape and size find their perfect look. Check it out!
Slender/Petite
If you’re a slender or petite woman, this means that you
have a very proportioned body, and measure at 5’4” or less.

Stock Your Closet With: V-Necks, ½ sleeve blouses,
hip-length tops, fitted shirts, hemlines that hit above the knee, low rise
pants, empire waist dresses and long fitted silhouettes like maxi dresses.
Pear Shaped

What to Wear: With a pear shape, your main goal is to slim
out your curvy bottom half, while playing up your top half. To do this, you
should balance your looks perfectly with complementing colors, silhouettes, and
shapes.
Stock Your Closet With: Highly detailed or colorful tops,
boat-neck tees and blouses, horizontally striped shirts, hip-length tops, A-line
skirts, empire waist dresses, and boot-cut bottoms with larger pockets.
Curvy
If you’re a curvy woman, you’ve got a full bust, hips, and
curves in all the right places. Typically, curvy women wear a dress size of 14
or larger.

Stock Your Closet With: Open necklines, hip or waist length
tops, tailored jackets, draped fabrics, fitted scoop or V-neck tees, boot cut
pants, and wrap dresses.
If you’re a boy shaped woman, you have narrow hips, a
smaller bust, and a curve-free waist, giving you a perfectly straight
silhouette.
What to Wear: To create a more feminine figure, choose
outfits that add visual details and adornments to your everyday look.
Stock Your Closet With: Ruffled tops, detailed blouses with
nipped waist lines, lower necklines, full sleeves, floating fabrics, tailored
jackets, skirts and dresses with a little swing, bottoms with detailing at the
waist.
Busty
If you’re a busty woman, you know how to turn heads with
your more-than-generous bust line.

Stock Your Closet With: Slight V-neck tops, scoop neck
blouses, slightly fitted sweaters, flared pants and denim, and A-line tops and
dresses that hug the torso.

Great post, and very enlightening! :)

DeleteOh, the thing I look forward to the most about losing weight and changing my body is the clothes! I work so hard now to "hide" parts of my body. *sigh*
ReplyDeleteUgh, I totally know what you mean. I was stuck in that state of mind for years... But, looking back on pictures when I was much heavier, I realized that trying to "hide" my body in baggy clothes only made me look bigger and sloppier. After lots of research, and countless episodes of What Not To Wear (love that show!!), I've finally come around to dressing my body the way it looks *today,* instead of waiting until I have "the perfect shape." <-- Whatever that means! :)
DeleteDo you have any recommendation on what to where when you're big? I am overweight but I need to look good and feel pretty and sexy.
ReplyDeleteHi Julienne,
DeleteIn my opinion, I think wrap dresses, or dresses that have a built in waist line are universally flattering. They create a cinched waist line and flow away from the body for a nice silhouette. Here's a few super cute and sexy ones:

If you're not always in the mood to dress up, you can never go wrong with a pair of great fitting trouser jeans and a tailored jacket. Combined, these two pieces make every body type look slim and sleek. Here are a few examples:

These are just a few looks that will work wonders for your shape, but there are so many more. My advice: head to the mall, and just start trying things on. Don't look at price tags, or worry if it's "you" just try on pieces to get a feel for what shapes work on your body. You'll have a great time, and get some great tips along the way! I hope this helps :)
Best Wishes,
Kate
