Body Shape: Learn To Know Your Forms And Emphasize Them

Do you know how to recognize the right clothes to enhance your body and your beauty?

Identifying your body type is a critical step in creating a wardrobe that celebrates your unique shape. Once you know your body shape, you can begin to highlight your best features with strategic style choices.

Knowing how to dress according to your body type is the best way to enhance your look. Starting from the assumption that the body is an ally and that there are no defects but peculiarities, if you know what your strengths are you can create harmony in your appearance.

When you wear the right women's clothes you feel more confident and full of energy but if your tendency is to copy myths or celebrities without giving a sense to your real physicality, know that in reality everyone has a personal style to become their own fashion icon, you just have to identify it.

Choosing day dresses, evening dresses, formal dresses, suits, elegant dresses and formal accessories to show off, regardless of the context and circumstances in which you intend to wear them, is not an action that is an end in itself and without practical consequences.

The first thing to point out is that everything we wear has a very strong influence on our mood and our lifestyle, influencing our days and the way we relate to the people around us. But where to start to avoid making mistakes? Through our guide on body shape you will be able to know which are the most suitable garments without going overboard, without exaggerating but remaining chic.

And by knowing the right models that are able to emphasize your lines you will be able to opt for a range of garments that will always make you feel at the top.

Narrow shoulders and wide hips? It means you have a pear-shaped body. Your body is characterized by an imbalance between the upper and lower parts with the accent on the latter compared to the upper part which is thinner and slender. The chest is in fact rather narrow while the breasts are never too large. The secret is to use clothes that highlight the waist and lighten the volumes on the hips. In this way you will draw attention to your décolleté obtaining a unique and sexy touch.

Our elegant lilac crossover satin dress boasts a flared skirt that gives grace and dynamism to the figure adding a touch of sensuality while the crossover straps create an intriguingly feminine detail.

Chest, waist and hips of the same size? It means you have a rectangle body shape . In this case, wear clothes that highlight the waist. The aim is to broaden the shoulders and hips to make the physique more feminine and to optically create curves where there are none. Enhance your strong points by wearing soft clothes without the risk of bundling up. The Princess dress in teal glitter tulle is interesting, with its wide skirt and shaped bodice that slims the figure by recreating the waist.

002338.0120_1.jpg If you have an hourglass figure, you have a well-proportioned body shape. Characterized by a slim waist with proportionate shoulders and hips, this body shape deserves to be enhanced with garments that emphasize the waist and balance the proportions. For an elegant and comfortable outfit, here is our royal blue rhinestone embroidery mermaid evening dress in which all the shapes are embraced with class while the draping emphasizes the silhouette giving a sophisticated touch.

Shoulders wider than hips and a voluminous chest? It means you have an apple body shape with a buttery body, a more pronounced abdomen and thin legs. Some flashy details are therefore to be avoided: bright patterns, showy stitching, large buttons, pockets, bows, shiny fabrics such as satin or velvet in the belly area that risk emphasizing your curves by drawing attention to the bust making it even more voluminous.

Choose the right clothing to lighten the shapes and make the proportions more balanced, perhaps highlighting the legs. The pink and mauve satin longuette dress enriched by longer side points creates a dynamic effect while the two long bands on the neckline allow you to create various style options. The bands can in fact be used both to mark the waist and to leave a soft line, or to create knots, twists and bows for a unique and distinctive touch.

Broad shoulders and hips with a narrow waist? It means you have an inverted triangle body shape and therefore possess a dynamic and striking silhouette. Often associated with an athletic build, pronounced shoulders are a distinctive feature that gives strength and elegance to this body shape.

To look more symmetrical , avoid pieces that create too much volume on the shoulders ; our asymmetrical day dress with Rouche in magenta satin (to be shown off with women's dress shoes ) guarantees a sophisticated and distinctive look. The side slit surrounded by ruffles adds a feminine detail, the overlapping V-neck with central drape offers a voluminous silhouette while the crossed straps on the back give an elegant allure. 

Feeling comfortable with what we wear does not mean having to fit into a size S, the important thing is knowing how to choose clothes that enhance our silhouette and allow us to feel comfortable and confident in ourselves on every occasion. Wanting to camouflage some body defects does not mean not liking ourselves or not accepting ourselves for how mother nature made us.

On the contrary, with a few style tricks it is possible to enhance your figure and highlight the best features of your body in any garment you wear, whether it is a day dress, an evening dress or a cocktail dress.

Never before has it seemed that everything has to be reduced to our image, just take a look at any social network to notice the admiration and obsession that people have for models of practically perfect beauty who propose their extraordinary aesthetics in all sauces. To like yourself you need to know your strengths well, putting aside your weaknesses.

Perfectionism does not exist and does not represent a positive element for one's self-esteem . Accepting your body means knowing how to recognize and appreciate your uniqueness and beauty without judging or criticizing yourself.

“Nothing in nature is imperfect. Imperfect is only our way of looking at it” (Roberto Gervanso)
