It seems like the world is finally embracing the fact that women come in all different shapes and sizes. We’re tall and thin, short and stocky, and a mixture of everything in between. Beauty is only skin deep, and it’s also in the eye of the beholder. At hosiree.com, we believe that you need to take what you have and work it to the best degree possible! You’ll only look as good as you feel, so make yourself feel great!
The Pear
When your hips are wider than your shoulders, your thighs and buttocks see the majority of the weight when you gain, and you have a defined waist, you’re considered to be a pear shape. Keep the following tips in mind to dress your body:
• Accentuate your upper body with shoulder pads
• Consider high boots to flatter legs
• Wear a good, supportive bra
• For leggings, boot cut is best
Consider the Addiction full cup bra that gives you full support and coverage in sizes up to G.
The Apple
You might be an apple if you have no defined waist, have a large bust, and find that your weight gain happens in your stomach. Women over 40 sometimes end up in this shape due to hormonal changes. To dress it well, remember that:
• Shirts that are ruched in the middle will camouflage a big belly
• V-necks tops will create a vertical line
• Tops should end just below the hip
• Tailored jackets create a nice V-shape
High-waist Capri leggings will control your waist and trim your tummy area while providing comfort.
The Curve
This is also known as the hourglass, and you want to do your best to play it up, even if you carry a bit of extra weight. Look for:
• A good bra that lifts you up and pushes you out
• Darker colors that look best on top
• Skirts that end at the knee and are a tighter fit
• V-neck shirts or deep necklines
Bellissima Leggings have a push up effect that will take your hourglass behind and flatter the shape you already have.
