'No more shopping for someone else!' -I

Hey fellas, I am here as promised, with all the different kind of body types. Now some of you might think, ‘How does it even matter? My body shape keeps changing!” Trust me I was once in your shoes. Your body shape never changes. It’s just the shift of little bit of fat here and there.

I would also never understand how a particular piece of cloth would fit me so well, and another one will just look equally horrible. Then, one day while trying to figure out the best fit for me, the store girl asked, ‘Mam, what’s your body type?’

It took my mind less than no time in coming up with the answer to, ‘why would this dress fit me, and why that dress wouldn’t!’ It has everything to do with my body-type, which I wasn’t really aware of. So, that lass saved me from spending another pocket full of cash that too on clothes made for a totally different body-type. Isn’t it literally like shopping for someone else? Ehh!! I spent a lifetime doing it!

                          So is the reason I thought I should share this since I myself own a clothing store now. Infact it was a brush up on my knowledge in a way. Take a look and I bet next time you will not have a single dress, which doesn’t fit you.

1. Apple

The women with the apple shaped body normally have slim legs but great ones, slim thighs and hips, where as bust and abdomen go little out of proportion as compared to the rest of the body.

You have to shift people’s attention from the roundness of your torso, so wear deep V-neck and blouses with asymmetrical bottoms. And because you don't have a well defined waist line, wear small belts on dresses for an illusion but do not even look at the bigger ones as it will make you look more bulky in your mid portion. You shouldn’t wear low waist pants or shorts as well. 

Look for you – Barbie doll dress that is tight only on the bust. For you, choosing right bottom is very important. Empire waist tops will work to take attention off your tummy. Denim skirt or A-line skirts or trousers will do the trick. Team these up with wedges.

2. Banana

Also called a ruler or rectangular. Such women are lean and their shoulder, waistline and hip area measures almost the same. You can be on the slimmer side, or even little heavier, the body frame always forms a rectangle. 
                                      Has any boy ever put his arm around your neck and behaved as if your are one another boy? Well, wait for some more such moments, naughty tomboyish!

                                     And if you want to shrug these boys off, then wear clothes that give an illusion of a more feminine body. The idea is to create a waist for you. 


Look for you – Wear tops and blouses that have a high neckline or the ones that cut off around your waistline, basically tops which create curve to your upper half. Tapered shirts also work well. Avoid tight fitted clothes instead wear semi-fitted clothes but do not go baggy. 
                            As for the bottoms, choose skirts which add flare to the bottom half since they create an illusion of having more curves down below. These few things will trick the eyes into making your wait look smaller. 

                                        You have a gift of flat stomach, so you might as well shouldn’t leave an opportunity to show it off. Spaghetti with loose pants will add that oomph factor to your personality.
