Clothes are a big
part of our lives and we change them often. Clothes are an expression of our
personality and they can say a lot about who we are. Good clothes can make us
feel good about ourselves, while poor quality ones can make us feel less
confident. This article will give you tips on how to find good quality clothing
for women at reasonable prices so that you always look your best!
Find your body shape
Knowing your body shape is the first step to making sure you're
dressing for it. If you have a rectangular body shape, your shoulders and hips
are about the same width, so you should wear clothes that fit from shoulder to
hip. If your upper half is wider than your lower half, consider wearing tops
with more room at the top and pants with more room at the waist.
If you have a triangle body shape, it's important to balance out
your narrow shoulders with tops that have some volume or detail around them
like sleeves or ruffles and skirts that flare out over narrow hips. If a skirt
has pleats, they should be at least 5 inches wide and sit above the knee. Pants
cut on an angle will also help create a balance between your thighs and calves
while adding length through sheer fabric or ruffles along the hemline of each
leg (if applicable).
Finally: if you have an hourglass figure a curvy chest and a tiny
waist it's okay to show off those curves in fitted dresses or shirts paired
with pencil skirts!
Know your best and worst
areas
Knowing your best and worst areas is a great way to dress to
flatter. For example, if you have a long torso but short legs, you may want to
avoid wearing wide-leg pants or pencil skirts. If you have large hips, it might
be wise not to wear fitted tops that emphasize the top of your body (like
thin-strapped dresses).
In order to know which areas need more attention when shopping for
clothes, take note of each part of your body:
- · Legs: Is there an area where they seem longer than others? Do they taper at the knee or do they look straight from thigh to ankle?
- · Breasts: Are they small enough that any shirt will fit well over them or larger so that some styles work better than others? Can we wear open necklines with ease? Is there any cleavage showing even when we're not trying for it?
- · Waist: What kind of bump do we have flat or curvy and what can really accentuate either one without looking too tight around our middle section? Does my belly hang over my pants no matter how tight they are fastened because I'm overweight and/or out of shape?
Follow trends that flatter
your shape
If you follow these tips, the next time that you find yourself in
front of a mirror wondering why your clothes don't look as good on you as they
do on the models in magazines, remember that it's all about knowing what looks
good on your body.
Even if you're not a size zero and have curves, don't feel like
there are no clothing options for you. There are plenty of ways to shape up
your wardrobe (and figure!) so that every item looks amazing on your body type.
If you're curvy: Look for items that help enhance your natural
assets instead of drawing attention away from them. For example, high-waisted
jeans will lift up those baby cheeks and give definition to those curves! If
this is not possible with one piece of clothing alone (like if there isn't
quite enough fabric), try layering two pieces over each other. Two pairs of
pants can create an illusion by creating an hourglass figure where none existed
before!
Tall women may find themselves having trouble finding clothes long
enough without looking like they just stepped out of an episode of "Little
House On The Prairie". The answer here is simple: go shopping online! The
convenience and ease of shopping from home make this option appealing even when
time is scarce because now all we need is internet access and a few clicks
later - voila! We've got ourselves some long-length shirts clocking in at 37
inches long each sleeve or longer depending on preference which also happens to
be flattering since it doesn't cling too much around the stomach area leaving
room for breathing space."
Learn how to hide problem
areas
In this section, we’ll look at some clothing tips for women that
will help you hide your problem areas.
- · Learn how to camouflage your problem areas.
Clothes that fit well, avoid tightness around the waist or bust,
and are generally loose-fitting (but not too baggy) will make you appear
slimmer than if you wear something more fitted.
- · Use accessories to hide problem areas.
Accessories are a great way of drawing attention away from larger
parts of your body by adding interest elsewhere with interesting jewelry or
makeup applications, for example. If your legs aren't what they used to be, try
wearing knee-high boots with heels rather than flats or sandals so that they
frame the lower half of your body in a flattering light; if you have broad
shoulders and/or hips, opt for an off-shoulder top or blouse instead of
something sleeveless which can make those features stand out even more; if you have
a small chest but big hips then try wearing clothes which cover these areas up
as much as possible while showing off what assets Nature gave us (ahem).
Avoid things that make you
look wider than you are
Avoid things that make you look wider than you are:
- · Horizontal stripes. Stripes can be a great way to add some interest to your outfit, but if they run across your body horizontally and the stripes aren't very close, it will widen your frame (and create a visual distraction from other parts of your body).
- · Baggy clothes. You don't have to wear skin-tight clothing all the time, but baggy clothes can make it seem like there's more of you than there actually is! If possible, opt for fitted tops instead of loose ones – they'll still show off your curves while also helping keep them in proportion with everything else on display.
- · Tight clothes. Wearing tight clothes may seem like an obvious no-no since they can emphasize certain areas of our bodies (like our thighs), but what about those people who look good in tight jeans? Well…they usually have thinner legs and curvier hips than other women do; not everyone has this "advantage." Plus, most people who wear jeans or leggings on a regular basis (which includes me!), already hold onto plenty of body fat around our stomachs/hips area…so why would I want more?
Work with your curves and angles,
not against them
Flattering clothes are more than just the right size. They are cut
to fit your body shape and made of fabrics that suit your body type.
Be mindful of how different body shapes affect fabric drapes. For
example, if you have an hourglass figure, then a straight-cut dress will likely
make you look wider than you are. Instead, choose dresses that have some
shaping in the waist so they don't overwhelm or conceal your curves.
If you're pear-shaped and carry most of your weight around the hips,
avoid clingy fabrics that emphasize this area they'll only accentuate areas
where you want to look smaller (your midsection). Flowy garments work best for
those with this build because they camouflage bulges while still flattering
curves elsewhere on the body (such as the bust or shoulders).
When you find what works for
you, it's easier to dress in a flattering way.
When you find what works for you, it's easier to dress in a
flattering way. At first, it can be intimidating to try new things, but don't
give up! As with anything else, practice makes perfect, and the more
comfortable you get with your own unique style the better.

Conclusion
The most important thing is to remember that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to fashion. You will find success by learning what works for your body type and then using that knowledge to create outfits that flatter you. Once you've mastered this, it will be much easier for you to look great in whatever outfit you choose.
