Hourglass shape - how to dress it
Work with your Hourglass shape
The aim is to achieve balance
- this shape does not need any help in this area
- the Hourglass figure is considered by most to be the ideal female form
- it is the easiest to dress as most things look great
- draw attention to the waist, accentuate the feminine curves without adding size to hips and shoulders
Best tops for the Hourglass shape are
- tops that enhance bust and waist, lengthening the body
- V neck lines, scooped
- Wrap around tops to emphasize the waist
- Tops sitting at the waist is another great look
- Halter tops to show off shapely shoulders
- Darker fabrics to help appear slimmer but most colors look great
- Smaller dots or patterns for a softer slimmer look
- Keep jackets simple, either short or long must be well cut, fitted, nipped at the waist to show it off
Best dresses, skirts for the Hourglass shape are
- Wear shapes to accentuate your shapely silhouette
- Pencil skirts are ideal, any skirts hugging the Hourglass curves giving a smooth fit at the waistline and hips
- To make you look taller, thinner, sexier look for 3/4 length or full length with a long slit or crease in the front
- A line will accentuate tiny waist
Best jeans, trousers for the Hourglass shape are
- For jeans, boot cut and mid rise
- For trousers look for slightly flared or wide leg to balance out the hips
Best swimwear for the Houglass shape are
- The perfect womanly form drawing people to your sexiness and curves- your body was made for the two piece suit
- From size 8 to fuller figures there are some modest two piece suits just for you
- Choose one with a more coverage and support for the fuller bust
Best shoes for the Hourglass shape are
- Ideal shape to pull off the sexy stiletto heel
- Wedge heel look good with jeans
- If you have good legs make sure to show them off - choose from slinky, strappy etc...the choice is wide open
A definite no to
- Too baggy tops and trousers - to avoid a frumpy look
- Too short skirts - to avoid making your total look round and shorten
- Tops with large prints, checks andt stripes - blouses with ruffles and lots of details around the bust area - it will only hide your great curves and make you look out of proportion
