Dress for your body type
Follow
Your personal stylist in Milan shows you how to dress for your body shape. Exactly, good fashion is not about embracing the latest trends is more about knowing which style is most flattering for your body shape.
If you know your body shape, every woman should, then it will be more easy to find clothes that actually fit and flatter.
Let’s start.
First of all don’t focus on height and weight… focus on shape!
Each of us is unique, and o so are our bodies! Nevertheless, our body types are generally narrowed down to five categories: apple, rectangle, pear, hourglass, inverted triangle.
You might fall into one category, or you might be a blend of two or even more categories.
How to find your body type?
Spend some time in front of the mirror and do a fair and honest assessment of your body.
