How to Achieve Figure Flattering Style

Happy Monday lovelies!  Feeling comfortable and wearing what makes look and feel your best, is not
always an easy feat to accomplish.  I know I have struggled with this a lot, and am constantly working to achieve figure flattery.

At the end of the day, it doesn't matter if you are tall, short, thin, or curvy. What matters the most is that you feel confident and attractive in what you are wearing.  Rather than getting hung up on your insecurities or parts you think are not flattering, play to your strengths!  Embrace your own beauty and shape, regardless of your size. 

TIPS FOR ACHIEVING FIGURE FLATTERY

If you are tall you can get away with a plunging neckline and long gowns or coats. Cropped pants may not be a good option, they may appear to have shrunk. Opt for leggings, skinny jeans, or cigarette styles which are usually longer in length.  Also don't feel like you have to always wear flats.  A tall woman who isn't afraid to show off her height, is very attractive and sexy.  I  used to feel self conscience in heels and felt way too tall.  I let that go, tall is okay!

If You are curvy Look for fabrics that move and flow with your body.  Usually curvy figures have a smaller waist, so wearing a belt helps accentuate the waist. Also a narrow, fitted top with a full skirt helps flatter curves  This help define the waistline.

If you are petite a high neckline is the way to go.  It will elongate the torso if you are short.  Also a shoe with that has a low cut vamp can help your legs appear longer.  Also wearing a single color from head to toe can help create a lengthy silhouette.  Too many colors will break up the silhouette.

If you are athletic with more of a boyish shape a classic sheath dress is a great option. You can also whittle your middle by wearing contrasting colors, belts, and waist defining cuts.  Accentuate your hips and thighs by wearing peplums and pleating.  Enhance your top half with ruffles, darts, and different texture.

  

If you are busty a wrap dress with a solid top and bold printed bottom will shift the focus downward.  Embrace the v-neck, go with fitted pieces that nip in the waist.  Try to stay away from buttons and tight collars that constrict the top half.|
