The Importance of Knowing Your Body Shape
We, ladies, come in different body shapes and sizes - pear, hourglass, ruler(H), inverted triangle etc etc.. There are so many terms to define the different shapes.
However understanding your frame is the first step in creating an overall profile and identifying clothing styles that will fit best and be most naturally flattering to your figure. Irregardless of any shape that you are, not every piece of clothing is going to look good on you.. You'll have your plus points and minus points. Every woman should dress according to your body type in order to look good and perfect. Choosing the right cut will help to emphasise on the positive points of your figure and hide the drawbacks, creating a visually balanced body.
Once you get a grasp of your shape, this not only makes you look and feel good, but it definitely gives a boost to your confidence level. Your clothes should reflect what you are and not being somebody else.
Last but not least, shopping becomes a whole lot more easier cos you know what you need for yourself and no more buying wrong clothes!! Save time and Save money!!!
“Your clothes say fare more than you think”, says Bridget Allen, a fashion expert.
The next step would be analysing which color tone and season you belong to - cool or warm and if you are a summer, winter, autumn or spring. Picking the right colors blends with your skin complexion, eye and hair colour and making you look more radiant and attractive.stylesophistique.webnode.com/news/skintone-cool-or-warm-/
After identifying your traits, work on developing your own image and style. You don't have to worry much about staying in tune to the current trends or fashion. Do not try to copy your friend's style as what may flatter their shape may not really flatter you and that's we generally fail whilst trying to imitate. Be different and Be unique.
Research on your personal style, read up on articles on bodyshape, colors and accessories. Internet has become so informative that we have no reason to say that there is nothing to guide us.
However if you need to speak to someone who can guide you, consult an image consultant.
If you are in Singapore, try this lady Aileen Lane of Nutri Style. She's amazing, very friendly and helpful and she has the right advices. I look forward to her monthly newletters. She also carries the Adonia Mineral range of makeup. (I bought my Adonia mineral pressed powder from her and I have been so grateful as it was one my wisest choice. It is long lasting and my so ever sensitive skin never broke out once. So it's great. But review on that in another blog)
