Bodies are different from person to person. Some of us were blessed with large breasts, a small waist and large hips while others merely got the large hips. Luckily, fashion is on your side. So long as you understand the shape category your body fits, you can use clothes to accentuate your assets and hide your hang ups.

Apple

As an apple, you are wider up top with a bust that runs bigger than the hips. To make the most of this distribution, wear clothes that pull attention away from your stomach. V-necks are a must as are flared pants since both add attention to the top and bottom. If you want to cover up curves you don’t like, avoid anything tight at the waist in favor of tops that drape.

Pear

The opposite of the apple, pears are thin at the bust but wide at the hips. To make this look work, clothes that add to the chest and upper body will be your goal. Avoid pants that draw attention to the hips (such as those that flare) and definitely invest in a bra that enhances the bust.

Rectangles

As the most common body type, shopping is not very challenging. With this shape, your bust, waist and hips are all about the same size. Because you lack a waist, anything that pinches there is a great option since it creates the illusion of curves. Avoid boy clothes. Ruffles and frills are your friends.

Hourglass

The rarest of them all, hourglass bodies have busts large enough to match the hips complimented by a narrow waist. Embrace these curves by avoiding anything that would hide them. Wear form fitting clothes and invest in a good bra to keep the girls from appearing to sag.
