Know your shape and choose Dress-fashion Accordingly (Guide for fashion styling)

EXPLORE THE NEW YOU!

What is your body type? It's diamond?, pear? straight? Inverted triangle? or sexy hourglass?

When I look into the mirror it says, “ You should wear a dress that will make you stand out” even more, “wear something that will make all the boys drool!" or "If you want that job, you'd better dress up nice. Endless questions come in mind, what should be the appropriate dressing for party? For different occasions? What style of dress should I wear?

 We use to see 1000 of cloths but select only few, (why?) And think why I can’t wear it, this style is not suitable for me, this kind of dressing is not fit for that particular occasion..and so on.. Well, everyone wants to get a compliment as ‘Glamorous’!! ‘Attractive’!! ‘Sexy’!! So pretty!! Considering all these I have thought to solve the problem of the beautiful creation of god ‘ the women’ This article will help you to hide all the flaws of your body/anatomy and enhance the beauty of your good features. I think every woman has a right to be adored and feel appreciated. Dressing comfortably and feeling comfortable. My objective is to highlight the best features and to suggest you how you can understand your body shape type & how you should dress-up (in the best possible manner). Not a specific shaped body is perfect, what perfect is how they carry themselves .Here I would like to elaborate different women body types, anatomy  and provide you with fashion stylist dressing tips (what should you wear, what will be the best for you, and what all kind of cloths you should avoid) for varied body structure so as to remain stylish and trendy at all times.

Here I have classified women’s body /anatomy shapes into five major categories. And those are;

1.      Apple shape (oval, diamond, sphere and spoons)

2.      Pear Shape (or triangle and tear drop)

3.      Rectangle & Column(also known as Ruler and straight body)

4.      Wedge: or Inverted Triangle

5.       Hourglass shape:(also known as figure eight)

I have tried my best to relate each body shape with celebrity’s figure. Description of each body type are listed below, try to visualize the difference between each shape, measure your body and see the criteria, and decide, under which category your body shape falls. Once you have recognized your body shape, go for detail guide for fashion, style, and dressing tips (which is linked to the each body shape, once you will click on that link it will redirect to new page).
