Women are extremely conscious about their body but not every woman can dedicate hours of her precious time to the gym and get a well-sculpted figure. Dressing up those flaws in the body becomes essential and hence knowing your body type in the first place is very necessary.

Fashion experts have categorized body types into 6 categories, which are in turn clubbed under top heavy, and bottom heavy categories. These 6 categories are: Round, Inverted triangle, Hourglass, Pear, Diamond and Straight shapes. Let us understand which style suits each shape.

Round:

This figure accentuates the middle and displays slender legs and a narrow hip. The lower half of the body is to die for and hence is the focal point of attention while dressing up. A slim-fitted A-line skirt will create magic and bring to the fore your long and slender legs.

A small or busy print on flared outfits for the upper half of the body will distract attention from a heavier bust.

Inverted Triangle:

Broad shoulders and narrow hips characterize an Inverted triangle figure. Such women have extremely shapely legs to die for and should capitalize on this fact while dressing up. Broad shoulders can be balanced by wearing skirts that flare at the bottom. It is important to add the necessary volume to the lower body to balance the upper half. In this way, a curvaceous body can be shown off.

Hourglass figure:

The waist is the best asset of the Hourglass Figure. Perfectly balanced upper torsos in conjunction with a shapely lower half together make a dream figure called Hourglass Figure. It is necessary to accentuate the waist by wearing belts and tops that fit right at the waist. Baggy clothes will only camouflage the curves.

Pear:

Pear-shaped figure give away a shapely waist and a heavier lower body. While dressing up this type of body, it is essential to highlight the upper body in order that it looks fuller. Straight skirts that take attention off the waist are the ones to look out for and tops with a square neckline will help projecting the shoulders that are broad. Balance needs to be created around the bust to project a fuller bust.

Diamond:

A diamond shape differs from the pear as diamond shaped women are more curvaceous and pear shaped are more proportionate at that. Diamond shaped women have generous thighs and a broader bottom. To dress up a diamond shaped women takes more effort in accentuating the shoulders and the bust. A flirty-sleeved structured top or a jacket will help in balancing the upper torso and camouflaging the pitfalls.

Straight:

In this kind of a figure, the width of the upper and the lower torso is almost equal. It is a pale fissure without a characteristic bust and a flat bottom. The waist is also almost undefined. In order to doll up a woman with a straight figure, long tops with a long neckline and skirts that add volume to the lower half are essential elements one must have. The most important guideline here is to provide volume to the hips and bust in order to look curvaceous.

It is important to know your body type in order to determine the kind of patterns, and most importantly the kind of fabric that should be used in your garments. You will only end up buying the right kind of clothes that accentuate your figure and in turn your personality.
