Fashion Trends for Different Body Types – Glam Radar
All of us possess different body types – curvy, petite, tall, and boyish, to name a few. Although it can be said that certain fashion trends work with only a set body type, the latest styles beg to differ. Here are some ways that can help you rock fashion trends according to your own body type.
Colorblocking
Colorblocking is one of the hottest trends of today. Here are the ways that you can wear it, according to your body type.
Petite – Wear a colorblocked dress that goes high up the waist. The lower end can help you create the illusion of longer legs.
Tall – Choose a colorblocked dress with a high neckline and below-the-knee length, as these details will complement your towering stature.
Curvy – Make sure that the colorblocked edges sit on your waist, so as to accentuate your hourglass figure.
Boyish – Opt for a dress with colorblocked elements near the bust as this can help create a curvy feminine figure.
Cutouts
Cutout fashion trends can be dangerous especially if the dress isn’t suited for your body type. You can, however, rock this style by heeding the following rules:
Petite – Show the sides of your torso – and wear a super-short skirt – to emphasize your long, lean legs.
Tall – Pick a dress with side cut-outs to create the illusion of an hourglass figure.
Curvy – Pick a cutout dress that shows the top half of your stomach. This is generally firm so you don’t have to worry about demonstrating your flabs.
Boyish – For this frame, it is essential that you show your chest. Just wear the right bra to create a cleavage that can feminize your shape.
Draping
Draping is one of the fashion trends that should be treated with care. Make sure to follow these tips according to your body type:
Petite – Heavy draping can dwarf your already miniscule stature. Prevent this from happening by picking a dress with light or just one round of draping.
Tall – Tall ladies oftentimes have lanky frames. If you want to make yourself look more feminine, choose a dress with drapes that accentuate the waist.
Curvy – The case of the drapes is the same with curvy ladies. Avoid looking bigger than you already are by belting a draped dress.
Boyish – Athletic ladies often have the same case with tall ladies. To create an hourglass figure, boyish girls need a draped dress that accentuates the waist.
