Of course,
you can call
us toll-free
1-800-729-5228,
any time,
with specific
questions
about your
individual
needs.
 |
Is
your body shaped like an Hourglass? Characteristics:
Shoulders and hips are pretty
much balanced, with a waist
that's smaller and well defined.
Fashion objective: Maintain
your natural proportions with
emphasis on your waist. Things
to look for: Soft, flowing
lines in prints and solids.
Dark belts that define the
waist. Blouson tops. Straight
or full skirts. Drop waist
styles. Cropped jackets above
the waist. |
 |
Is
your body similar to an Oval
or Rectangle? Characteristics:
Similar proportions at the
shoulder and hips, no strong
definition at the waist. Fashion
objective: Create a stronger
impression for the waist, take
attention away from the midriff.
Things to look for: Shoulder
pads help create the look of
a smaller waist. Unstructured
styles suggest a more defined
waist. Long jackets over short
or straight skirts, V-necks
and long necklaces also help.
Try bright jewelry or scarves
at the neckline. |
| Is
your body more like a Triangle? Characteristics:
Upper body with narrow shoulders
and smaller bust line. Hips
and legs are wider. Fashion
objective: Create an attractive
balance between the upper and
lower body. Things to look
for: Shoulder pads, ruffled
collars and bold jewelry to
accentuate the upper body.
Lines that flow smoothly over
hips and legs. Dark solids
or small prints that de-emphasize
them. |
 |
Or
an Inverted Triangle? Characteristics:
Upper body with wider shoulders
and larger bust line. Hips
and legs are narrow. Fashion
objective: Create a natural
balance that blends your body
into one visual impression.
Things to look for: Start with
fuller pants and skirts including
prints, bright colors, flares
and pleats. Tops should be
dark in color and not heavily
embellished. Chunky shoes and
accessories worn close to the
face also work nicely. |
