How to dress according to your body type


You often wonder how to dress according to your body type and you can't even determine what's wrong with you and what's not.
You choose something, you move on to the test room, but your image when you look at the mirror does not satisfy you and you feel that you have done something completely wrong.

You know why?

Because you chose something that does not flatter your body as each body structure requires different patterns and types of clothes.
It is incredibly helpful to know your body type and also to know before you try a garment if it will "sit" you without any problem.

Today we will deal with the issue and try to unravel the foggy landscape of what is going on and in which body type.


Let's start by identifying the body type to make it perfectly understandable.


In order to learn your body type, you must first measure with a tape measure the dimensions from the shoulders, bodice, waist and periphery.


As long as you put down the dimensions, here will need some knowledge of geometry and personally I in high school had the most absences in the course. Anyway, I even made it and I was able to do it, so you can comfortably do it too.


Simply put, the body type is the contour of the structure of your body and you divide into the following shapes - types.


There are 5 different types


● The apple body shape


● The shape of the hourglass


● The pear body shape


● The rectangular body shape


● The body shape of an inverted triangle


1.What is the apple body shape?


If you have wide shoulders and a larger line in the chest compared to the buttocks then you belong to the specific body type in the shape of the apple.

A good choice is:


● A dress or sweater with a deep V

● Choose bold patterns on blouses and jackets
