Fashion for every body type

Fashion for every body type

The Hourglass. Hourglass figures are fuller in the bust and bottom, with a slim waistline. Clothes that move naturally with curves work best for this figure. Wearing high-waisted pants and waist-cinching belts draw the eye to the slim midsection. Wrap dresses create diagonal movement across the body, while V-neck tops flatter a larger bust without exaggerating. Flared or wide-legged jeans and trousers also work well with this body type. Styles to be avoided are baby doll dresses, tunics, and oversized cardigans.

The Pear.

Those possessing a pear shaped figure are bigger around the hips, thighs, and bottom. Balance can be achieved by wearing bold, bright tops, boat-neck tops, and large collars, all of which offset full hips. Tight fitting jeans and trousers should be avoided, such as skinny jeans, pencil or fishtail skirts, and any curve fitting fabric (like silk). Dark, wide legged pants create slimming, longer silhouettes, as do tapered A-line skirts.

The Rectangle. Women with this figure tend to be straight up and down. Clothing should create more curves. Try wearing structured coats with a cinching belt, which makes the figure look curvier. This body type (if the bust is small) wears high-necked tops well. Avoid low-rise jeans and trousers, as these make the torso look longer. You’ll also want to avoid sheath dresses.

The Strawberry.

The Strawberry, or inverted triangle, body type is larger in the bust area with broad shoulders, and narrower in the hips and thighs. A balanced wardrobe is the goal, so try wearing full or flared skirts, and wide legged jeans and trousers. Using cinched belts around the waist will draw the eye downward. Wrap tops and v-necks compliment a fuller bust, and colored pants draw attention away from the upper body. Avoid shoulder pads and tapering trousers, light colored clothing, high-necked and flowing tops.

New Trend - Sailor Shorts.

So, sailors seem to be in!

Sailor shorts that is!

The sailor trend is something I've always been a fan of. I'm ecstatic it's coming back in style.

How would you wear these shorts? **as these pictures came from www.collegefashion.net, the shorts on their site was no longer available hence pictures were taken down from their site. You can still see pictures of the shorts from my store www.veroniquescloset.com **

Shorts, Top, Clutch, Sandals, Alternate Sandals, Bracelet, Earrings

OR

Shorts, Sweatshirt, Sandals, Alternate Sandal,  Bag, Necklace, Earrings, Nail Polish

Personally, I think I would do combo 1 minus the bracelet.

For those who are not into shorts, there are always sailor leggings!

Holiday Style

Trying to plan a perfect outfit for that upcoming holiday party? We're here to help! We've been looking at all the hottest holiday styles for you to check out here at Veronique's Closet and we've come up with a few outstanding options for you to choose from!

1) According to Harpers Bazaar, bust out all the white you packed away after Labor Day, because this holiday season, white is back and fiercer than ever! Give the angels a run for their money in a stunning white pantsuit with white heels and make it pop with red accessories. (After all, one can never look too festive, right?)

2) Peplums! Bring back that retro 50's glam by playing up your waistline and letting your curves shine!

3) In keeping with the Retro Trend, lace coverings are making a comeback. Avoid the gloves (unless your channeling 80s Madonna) but instead, rock a mini dress covered in black lace and be sure to sport sky high heels and ruby red lips to complete the look.

4) Instead of the ever popular "LBD", why not rock a champagne colored frock at the office party and dare to stand out? Accessorize with lots of nude/pearl accessories and ake it an old fashioned glamorous Christmas to Remember!

5) Shorts! They aren't just for summer anymore. Whether you want to wear long, board type shorts or teeny ones to cover certain areas, make sure you go monochromatic and let the top match the bottom. Not only will you look longer and leaner by doing this, but you can also avoid combining red and green and looking like one of Santa's elves.


That's it for now. Happy Holidays, and Happy Shopping ;)
