Choosing Clothes for Our Body Type

August 1, 2016

As human beings, we are blessed to be sculpted in different shapes and sizes.  Hence, designers have also fashioned different apparel styles to cater to different body types. First off we should know what is our ideal body and corresponding clothes size. This is paramount because if we are ordering or buying the incorrect size; this can have a negative impact on how it fits our body. We know that fashion trends changes all the time and that doesn’t mean we have to force ourselves into a dress to thereby attend an event in it and feel uncomfortable for the entire time just for the sake of keeping up with the trend. Here are five things to look for when shopping:

  1. When it comes to pants, ensure you can breathe once it buttons, also if it’s too tight around the waist it will cause a bulge around your tummy
  2. Some clothes create the illusion of you having more lbs than you actually do. So as much as an outfit is enhancing your curves, the thickness of the cloth may add extra. Therefore be wary of this fact.
  3. Take a good look in the dressing room mirror, if it feels uncomfortable at that point in time, mostly likely it will also be the same feeling when you wear it out. Try a bigger size and reflect on its importance.
  4. Pick enhancement over current trend. Be smart and choose what you feel confident in.
  5. It is always helpful to get a second opinion from someone you trust, they can see it from another point of view and provide insights.

Happy Shopping
