Tutorial on how to identify your body shape so that clothing can enhance your shape.

To determine whether your fashion is a pass or a crash, we first need to establish that your clothes fit your body shape, here is a tutorial on how to identify your body shape:

Let’s kick off with the Apple-body shape.

This shape is also referred to as a round body shape and can be identified by some characteristics such as the hips, shoulders, waist, and bust all being equally even (Nordstrom Trunk Club, 2019). The best clothing items to wear for this body shape are V-neck and wrap- blouses, flared and bootcut denim, and to pull the outfit all together the use of a belt (Nordstrom Trunk Club, 2019).

Secondly, we have the Pear-body shape.

The Pear-body shape is also known as the triangular frame, identified by characteristics such as your hips being wider than your shoulders and the wait being smaller than the hips (Nordstrom Trunk Club, 2019). The best clothing items for this shape are Boat- and Cowl-neck blouses, Straight and High-wasted denim, and lastly A-line and Wrap dresses (Nordstrom Trunk Club, 2019).

Thirdly, we have the Hourglass-body shape.

The Hourglass- body shape is identified by characteristics such as your hips and shoulders being equally long (Nordstrom Trunk Club, 2019). The best clothing for this body shape is V-neck and Peplum blouses, Flared and Skinny denim, and jumpsuits (Nordstrom Trunk Club, 2019).

 Next, we have the Inverted Triangle body shape.

This body shape does the name justice, for the reason being that the shoulders are broader than the hips of the body (Nordstrom Trunk Club, 2019). The Crewneck and Scoop-neck blouses are perfect for this body shape paired with Boyfriend jeans and an A-Line dress (Nordstrom Trunk Club, 2019).

Lastly, we have the Rectangular- body shape.

The Rectangular- body shape is determined by the shoulders, waits, and hips being the same measurements (Nordstrom Trunk Club, 2019). The best clothing pieces to wear for this shape are Sweetheart- and V-neck blouses, paired with a flared denim or printed pants fished off with a Waist-belt (Nordstrom Trunk Club, 2019).
