Hourglass
        Shape


This is the classic voluptuous shape. If you are hourglass you half larger bust and hips and a narrower waist. It is well known that men think you can’t beat a great bum! The idea is for you to be proud of your great behind and show it off!

Tips for your body shape:

1. Tops: We must add volume to your torso and shoulders to balance your bum. Horizontal stripes, boat or slashed necklines, embellishments and puffed sleeves are all great styles for you. Show off your cleavage with v-necks, scoop necks or wrap tops. Avoid spaghetti straps or halter-necks if your arms are untoned. Wear fitted jackets and complement your curves with rounded hems, pockets and lapels. Avoid too much detail on top such as large pockets or buttons which will enhance your figure.

2. Bottoms: Long flowing trousers and skirts will make you look slimmer and length will give the illusion of longer legs. If you want to show your legs then to for tulip and pencil skirts. You do not need extra volume so avoid thick, bulky fabrics.

3. Dresses: Your body looks fantastic on dresses. Choose a-line dresses. Your best style is a halter dress to emphasize your chest. Another option for you is a wrap dress to show off your waist. Use a fitting jersey dress to show off your figure, belt it to accentuate your waist. Layered dresses add lots of movement and hide your bum if you don’t want to show it off. Loose cut mini dresses allow you to show off your legs and will also make you look fabulous.

4. Jeans: If you are this type try flare jeans with a mid-to-low rise, to maximize your curves. If you are shorter do not forget to wear your jeans with heels to elongate your body. Avoid distressed-look whiskering around the crotch and leg because that will widen your hips; instead stick to darker washes. Bootcuts also work for you and wide legs will hide all your lumps and bumps if you have them. Big back pockets also work well for you. Keep your jeans simple and dark. If your waist is much smaller it will be challenging finding jeans, try contoured waist jeans. A low joke will balance out your bum.

5. Shoes and Accessories: Mid height and chunky, your best bet. Jewellry will maximize your to. Animal print scarves and big necklace will work wonders.
