Global Image Group provides 5 style tips for different body shapes:

  1. Determine body type: The hub advises that measuring your shoulders, bust, waist circumference, and hip size to understand your unique shape.
  2. Select complimentary silhouettes: Dresses and shirts with cinching waists are best for apple-shaped figures. Pear-shaped bodies should wear sleeveless tops and open-neck gowns.
  3. Use proportions: To create visually attractive costumes, apply balanced principles and mix and match pieces. High-waisted pants or skirts draw attention to extended legs, while blouses with deep plunging necklines balance shorter torsos for visual harmony.
  4. Accessorise: Using accessories such as statement belts or necklaces may add flair and sophistication to an outfit, increasing shape and form and raising it from ordinary to outstanding, attracting attention and preference.
  5. Discover the ideal fit: Try on items and consider their contour to provide the best fit possible. When shopping remotely, choose brands that offer free virtual consultations to ensure appropriate size, adds the above-mentioned hub.
