Choosing a dress is not only about pursuing fashion and beauty, but also about cleverly modifying your body through style design and showing personal charm. Different body shapes have their own characteristics. If you want to wear an ideal effect, you need to have a deep understanding of the body characteristics and master the modification principles of different dress styles.
For a pear-shaped figure, its characteristics are a slender upper body, wide hips, large buttocks, and thick legs. When choosing a dress for this type of figure, the focus should be on modifying the lower body. The A-line skirt is a great choice for a pear-shaped figure. It spreads out in a flared shape from the waist down, which can effectively cover the shortcomings of the hips and thighs and make the lower body lines smoother. The high-waisted A-line skirt can also lengthen the leg proportions and visually optimize the body proportions. Avoid choosing a too tight hip skirt, which will fit tightly to the hips and thighs, exposing the shortcomings of the figure; and do not choose a puffy skirt with a too wide skirt, which will easily make the lower body look heavier.
The characteristics of an apple-shaped figure are broad shoulders and thick backs, more fat on the waist and abdomen, and relatively slender limbs. In order to weaken the heaviness of the upper body and shift the visual focus, you can choose a dress with a V-neck or a deep U-neck. This type of neckline design can lengthen the neck line, make the upper body look more slender, and at the same time expose the clavicle to increase the sense of lightness. The A-line umbrella skirt is also a good choice. Its loose skirt can cover the waist and abdomen and cleverly hide the fat. The waist design can outline the waistline to a certain extent and shape a better body curve. Avoid choosing round neck or high neck styles. This type of neckline will compress the neck space and make the upper body look more bloated; tight knitted skirts are not suitable either, which will completely highlight the fat on the waist and abdomen.
The hourglass figure is a perfect figure, with similar shoulder width and hip width, and a slender waist. This figure is suitable for almost all styles of dress and can easily control various styles. The slim hip skirt can perfectly show the curvaceous beauty of the hourglass figure and show the bumpy figure to the fullest; the wrap skirt can also fit the body curve and highlight the feminine beauty and sexiness. However, too loose and bulky straight skirts may cover up the advantages of the hourglass figure and make the figure curve less obvious, so try to avoid choosing them.
The characteristics of the H-shaped figure are that the width of the shoulders, waist and hips are not much different, and there is a lack of obvious curves. In order to create a curvy effect, you can choose a dress with a waist design, such as a belt dress, a high-waist drawstring skirt, etc. The waist design can emphasize the waistline, separate the proportions of the upper and lower body, and create a visual effect of "all legs below the chest". Large umbrella skirts or pleated skirts are also suitable for H-shaped figures. The fluffy skirt can increase the volume of the lower body and contrast with the upper body, thus creating a sense of curves. Avoid choosing straight skirts that are too tight and have no sense of design, which will make the figure look flatter.
The trouble of short girls is usually insufficient height. When choosing a dress, the key is to lengthen the leg lines and increase the height ratio. Short skirts are the first choice for short girls, especially dresses above the knee, which can maximize the exposure of leg skin and visually lengthen the legs. High-waisted skirts are also a must-have item. The high-waisted design can raise the waistline and make the legs look longer. Avoid choosing long skirts that are too long, which will make petite girls look even shorter; too loose and bulky styles are also not suitable, which can easily create a sense of dragging and reduce height.
For girls with broad shoulders, the presence of the shoulders needs to be weakened through the dress style. You can choose a dress with a one-shoulder or oblique shoulder design. This style can distract attention from the shoulders, while exposing the shoulders and clavicle, adding a sense of softness. A neckline with ruffles can also modify the shoulder line and make the shoulders look softer. Avoid choosing styles with puff sleeves and exaggerated shoulder pads. This design will increase the volume of the shoulders and make the shoulders look wider.
When choosing a dress for a plump figure, the key is to make it look thinner and hide the flesh. Dark-colored dresses are more slimming than light-colored ones, such as black, dark blue, dark gray, etc. Loose straight skirts or micro A-line skirts can cover the fat on the waist, abdomen and legs without being too tight. It is also important to choose a dress with drapey fabrics. Good drape can make the dress fit the body naturally, and will not increase the sense of expansion due to the fabric being too stiff. Avoid choosing overly fancy patterns and tight styles. Fancy patterns can easily create a visual sense of expansion, and tight styles will completely expose body defects.
