#Headline Creation Challenge#
Good evening everyone!
Before writing a pear-shaped dressing guide, many sisters said that they didn't know how to judge their figure, and they also wanted to see their corresponding body shape to pay attention to the outfit, find the right clothing matching style, and then buy new clothes to avoid stepping on thunder.
I summarized a set of "cultivate the aesthetic of dressing and do not step on the thunder": first fully understand your body characteristics, then match the appropriate dressing style, lock in imitation icon/matching look, and build your own dressing reference library.

When everyone goes through this system again, whether they shop online or visit physical stores, they will rarely buy wrong, step on thunder, are inappropriate, and don't know how to match.
Today is mainly aimed at unfolding, talking about these body characteristics, dressing minefields, how to match and how to wear, etc.
Attitude.
Knowing your body size and tolerating your shortcomings is happier
Let's start with my opinion on whether the figure is decisive for looking good.
I don't quite agree that looking good is all due to the factor of "thinness", and of course I don't deny that being thin does look good in clothes, but it's not everything. Careful matching, highlighting personality, and understanding how to promote strengths and avoid weaknesses are all more likely to be ignored and more important parts of daily life.
In fact, my legs are similar to this, and my calves are thicker than others
It's hard to understand and truly accept that your body isn't perfect. But in fact, only by calmly facing the shortcomings of your body can you look at the matter of dressing objectively, and will no longer veto a certain style and item because you are fat.
In fact, dressing up is a pleasure for yourself, quite a happy thing, I hope that everyone is not too limited to the rules and regulations on the figure, jump out and open your mind, but will be happier.
Bodyshape.
5 different body types of characteristics and wearing minefield
The five body types are: pear-shaped, apple-shaped, H-shaped, hourglass-shaped, and inverted triangle. In fact, most people are basically the first 2 body types or mixed, want to know which one they belong to? Very good judgment: look at the shoulders, waist, and hips.
I wrote in the pear-shaped dressing guide that you can judge whether you are a pear by the sense of bone mass on your upper and lower bodies.
The apple shape is the most prominent waist and abdomen, and the shoulder line is not obvious. The H-shape is usually flat-chested without a distinct waistline, with an inverted triangle with the most pronounced shoulder width.
For each body shape, I summarized the key points such as body characteristics, wearing minefields, what style of clothes to buy and how to match, you can do your homework as needed~
Pear-shaped body features: thick thighs, wide hips, fat deposited mainly in the lower body. Visually, the shoulders are narrower and the waist is thinner. Representative figure: Mariefhm (INS blogger)
I am a pear-shaped body of the skeleton type, mainly the upper body skeleton is small, and the lower body skeleton is thicker, but the overall look is not fat, but the proportions are not coordinated. Usually buy clothes, often wear the rhythm of size S, and M-L size bottom.
Blogger Mariefhm is a more fleshy pear-shaped body, and her matching is very suitable for slightly fat body reference.
It should be noted that the pear-shaped body is not thin in the upper body, without worship meat or small belly, but the flesh of the lower body looks more and stronger, and the upper body is not so fat.
This body type has the advantage that if it is properly matched, it can create a good body in the shape of an hourglass.
The shoulders are narrow and the hips are wide, then we find a balance. To make the upper body more present, usually wear a high-waist small skirt, a little design top, etc., are all good choices.
Make the lines of the lower body cleaner and sharper, and try not to show your legs. For example, high-waisted suit pants, straight-leg jeans, high-waist skirts, etc., the fabric is preferred to have a drape, more supple, as simple as possible, to avoid too silhouette, cumbersome style.
Minefield matching: loose upper + loose bottom, upper tight + upper tight, these 2 will make the figure look more "pear".
To sum up,
- The top can be bright and eye-catching, with a sense of design and the center of gravity is shifted upwards
- Keep the bottoms as clean and clean as possible, with smooth lines
- Pants/skirts/dresses with high waist + drape fabric are preferred
How to choose specific pants, how to choose a top for usual wear, how to pick a dress, these more detailed issues, as mentioned before, will not be repeated here.
Apple-shaped body characteristics: On the basis of pear-shaped, there is more waist and abdomen flesh and more prominent. The shoulders and arms are rounded, the waist line is not obvious, and there is no skinny feeling overall. Representative characters: thin to see Liu Yifei, fat to see kerifay (INS blogger)
Before I wrote Liu Yifei's outfit in "To a Windy Place", she is a more obvious apple-shaped figure. The shoulder skeleton is not obvious, once the arms, chest and back have a little flesh, the side will be very thick, and the upper body is relatively fat and strong.
Generally, the apple-shaped body will also be accompanied by the problem of full chest and flesh on the arms, plus the waist and abdomen meat are more concentrated, so it is more necessary to tighten the waist + the neckline to show the skin.
The overall improvement idea is similar to the pear-shaped body, but the waist line should be tightened a little higher, and it is best to lift it to the chest, the slimmest part of the body. The neckline is always V-neck, and the cuffs are either mid-sleeved or have a little puff sleeve.
The most flattering pieces for the apple-shaped body in spring and summer are all kinds of dresses that meet the waist cinch, V-neck, and mid-cuffs. (The bandeau model is super beautiful, confidence is the most beautiful!) Waist cinched + wide skirt is actually very decorating figure)
The same is true for tops, choose styles that highlight the waist and the fabric is smooth, emphasize the concave and convex female lines, and avoid clothes that are too loose/straight/straight.
The bottom is high on the waist, and the rest can be selected exactly according to the reference point of the pear-shaped body.
If you don't like too feminine dress, you can also incorporate clear silhouette suits, trench coats, and jackets into your daily wear to shape a neat and capable shoulder line, which will be thinner and people look more spiritual.
Finally, to sum up, you can usually try:
- V-neck + cinched waist + mid-cuff top or dress
- High-waisted skirts and straight-leg pants are more flattering than wide-leg pants
- The fabric has the appropriate thickness, drape, and should not be light and close
I think the apple-shaped blogger really doesn't lose his aura
H-shaped body features: shoulder width is approximately equal to hip width, without obvious waist line and curved lines. There are more flat chests, and the limbs are relatively slender. Representative character: camille_pidoux (INS blogger)
Straight up and down, no hip curve
In fact, there is no waist and body curves, if you like genderless dressing, there is basically no problem, completely according to the matching idea of men's clothing, it will be more handsome.
If you still prefer women's clothing/want to modify your figure, usually pay more attention to waist styles, and try some bright, eye-catching, and design styles will be very good.
In fact, no matter what body shape, it is the idea of correcting the body shape to x hourglass line. If it is a flat chest H-shaped, you can try a lot of styles, and the outfits of daily supermodels can be referenced, and wearing niche chic is more colorful than the basic model.
If it is a plump H-shape, use the silhouette line of the clothes to shape the S curve for yourself. Avoid tight up and down or loose up and down, otherwise it will expose the problem of not having a waist.
In spring and summer, you can try the combination of short top + high-waisted pants/skirt. For example, very popular hot girl style, millennial retro dress, etc., wide-leg pants, flared pants are very good choices, wearing personality is the key.
In fact, the H-shaped body is not difficult to wear, to sum up:
- Narrow top and bottom, or narrow top and bottom width, forming a curve contrast
- Small people wear design tops, tall people wear design bottoms
- Try more colors/niche/prints
Inverted triangle body characteristics: wide shoulders, wide chest, upper body volume is greater than lower body, overall more sporty (similar to diver athlete figure). Representative figure: Paulineleroy (Instagram blogger).
The idea of improvement is obvious, just add contour to the hips and balance the line proportions of the whole body. I think the upper body can refer to Lisa's outfit, which can be said to be a model of broad shoulders.
The lower body is concentrated on the waist + high waist to strengthen the sense of line. For example, some high-waisted wide-leg jeans, wide-leg pants, A-line skirts, etc., are more suitable for inverted triangle figures.
There are also some sisters who are broad shoulders, full breasts, and fleshy arms with a comprehensive H-shaped body, the top must choose a piece that does not have a strong sense of space and has a clean sense of line, this part can refer to the top selection points of the apple-shaped body.
Overall, you can choose dresses and skirts with rich skirt details, or you can boldly wear wide-leg pants and mop pants. While modifying the body line, it is necessary to emphasize the style of daily wear, the more distinct the style, the less obvious the weakness of the figure.
Minefield matching: too loose top + loose pants, no layers, will make the body look thicker.
You can also use scarves, hats, and accessories to reduce the attention of the shoulders. Choose a top with a light and smooth fabric to reduce the burden on the upper body, and focus on the matching of the lower body and the overall style.
Hourglass-shaped body features: wide shoulders, large breasts, thin waist, large butt, full thighs. You can master almost every style and seize the edge, which can highlight the figure and line. Representative figure: Jeanne Damas.
Whether fat or thin, this body shape I think wearing dresses and more feminine clothing styles will look the best. The shape of the clothes coincides with the curves of his body, focusing on the visual advantage of waist thinness.
Wear minefield: Genderless pieces, mostly straight-fit clothing.
The advantage of the hourglass-shaped body is the charm of the S curve, and the supermodel wearing a more casual and natural neutral shirt and sleeveless T-shirt are not suitable for the hourglass, which is simply the culprit of showing fat and strong.
If you want to wear a slim and linear feeling, you can refer to the apple shape of the top to choose, and the bottom to refer to the pear shape of the body. Whether wearing a skirt or pants, you must cinch the waist + high waist. The big heroine style is also more suitable for an hourglass-shaped body.
The overall outfit is good to maintain the original balance of shoulders and hips. It is recommended to wear some skirts/dresses with a cinched waist, high-waisted flared pants and other very attractive items, and it is quite good to try colors and prints.
If you want to avoid rouge, pay more attention to color matching when you usually wear it, and you can wear a high-end and simple texture.
Each of us is a different individual, in fact, we don't have to force ourselves to change for the sake of a certain public aesthetic. As far as dressing is concerned, I pay more attention to personal style and temperament, rather than blindly recommending that people follow a certain fixed routine.
I hope today's article can be helpful to you, and you can also leave a message in the comment area to discuss your own dressing experience and confusion~
