Ladies, this article is for you. How many times have you purchased an item knowing it’s too small, but had to have it because it was the latest trend? Well, I’m here to tell you that everything trending isn’t always for you.
Your body is your temple, and when dressing your temple make sure your embracing every aspect of it. Body shape is all about proportions, not about height or weight. So choose pieces that showcase your body in a positive light.
According to sheknow.com, there are five general categories in which women’s shapes may fall into. They are as following: pear, wedge, rectangle, apple and hourglass. Once you figure out the shape you have, shopping will become much easier and you will leave every mall feeling accomplished.
When choosing clothes make sure they’re flattering towards your individual body type. I know especially on Longwood’s campus, us ladies love our leggings. They are comfortable and easy to throw under a shirt or sweater for either a casual or dressy look.
But, leggings are not the most flattering piece of clothing for every body type. It simply boils down to what looks best on your body type, and not every woman should wear leggings. Ladies you should love your bodies, don’t disrespect it by wearing unflattering clothing.
Prints are also another huge issue amongst women’s clothing. Picking the right print for your body is important, because although they either can enhance the look of your body, they can also do it wrong. Some prints to look out for are polka dots, stripes and Aztec prints which are tricky and can be hard to wear on certain body types.
Ultimately, everything comes down to dressing for your body and learning what compliments it the best. Ladies look like the Queens you are and enhance your body regularly.
