Tips for Dressing
Styling tips include;
1. Waistline - Because you have a desirable small waistline, you should try the below;
a) Belts
2. Bust line - try to draw a horizontal line above your busts. This will make you have a more hourglass shape. You can do this by wearing clothes that have a lot of detail on the shoulders areas thus drawing attention away from the hips (clothes such as jackets with padded shoulders).
3. Wear clothing that elongates your legs (or nude pointed shoes)
Styling
a) For tops, go for broad necklines, horizontal stripes and off shoulder tops. The tops however should not end at the hips because that draws more attention to the hips. Instead, the tops should either be shorter or longer.
b) Pants - forget skinny or slim-fit pants. Instead, go for bell-shaped/flared pants because it balances the width of the hips.
c) Jackets/blazers - look for jackets that are wider at the top and slim down towards the waist. This will definitely give you an hourglass shape.
d) Dresses - A-Line dresses are good for you because it emphasizes your waist. Bustier dresses are also good because they add the horizontal bust line we talked about earlier.
e) Accessories - Go BIG (or go home, JK lol). Go for statement necklaces, huge scarves and huge earrings.
f)Shoes - Buy platform shoes.
