How to Dress According to Your Body Shape
Contrary to some labels, one size does not fit all. Even if one item of clothing could fit every person, that doesn't mean it would be flattering. Everyone has a different shape -- some people may carry their weight in their middle, while others have broad shoulders or less noticeable hips. These features can make it hard to find clothing that not only fits but is flattering. Choosing clothes in your size that flatter your body shape can improve your self-esteem, making you feel beautiful and confident, ready to take on the world.
The Basics
Step 1
Determine your body shape -- accepted categories are generally based on fruits and geometric shapes. Fashion experts Clinton Kelly and Stacey London advise that you stand in front of a mirror and assess your features, making note of your waist, shoulders, bust and hips.
Step 2
Assess your current wardrobe and examine clothing for fit and feel. If a piece of clothing feels comfortable and allows you to move without pinching, riding up, falling down or making you feel bad about your appearance, it's probably a keeper, advises fashion expert Margeaux Tartarotti in "The Fine Art of Dressing."
