Do you get frustrated not knowing what your body shape is? And what clothes to choose to best flatter your body shape? What does pear shape even mean? Well, luckily Ann Harvey can advise you on these important matters! Just click on to their style guide to discover your body shape and find out the sort of outfits you should chose to best flatter your shape. So, as Ann Harvey says “forget your size, discover your shape.”
Ann Harvey places body shapes into four categories: hour glass, full top narrow bottom, narrow top full bottom, and finally wide torso no body.
Hour Glass shape
Women with an hour glass figure should make the most of their assets by wearing clothes that nip in at the waist to help show off curves. This look can be further accentuated by wearing large belts around long line shirts and dresses. Cropped jacket also help to accentuate the hips. High heels show off the amazing hour glass figure. Ann Harvey recommends you avoid bulky jumpers.
Full Top Narrow Bottom shape
Women with a full top and narrow bottom should wear dramatic skirts and trousers with lots of detail. “It’s all about drama in the right places”. Jackets should enhance the upper torso and tops that show off the shoulders are a good option. High heels with ankle straps would add the required drama for this shape. Ann Harvey recommends you avoid shoulder pads, wide lapels or collars, and double breasted jackets.
Narrow Top Full Bottom shape
Women with a narrow top and full bottom should draw attention to their top by wearing lighter colours, bold prints, and double breasted jackets. Accessories will help to draw the eye to the top of the body. A simple heel is all that is required for this shape. Ann Harvey recommends you avoid fitted rollnecks, turn ups, and wrap skirts.
Wide Torso No Waist shape
Women with a wide torso and no waist should mix up their outfits. Use wide belts over long shirts to create a waist and disguise your bottom; while pleated shirts will lengthen the legs. Using accessories such as scarves and necklaces will draw attention to your middle and top. Wear classic heels or flats. Ann Harvey recommends you avoid tent dresses, large prints, gathered waists, chunky shoes, and tailored jackets.
The style yourself guide is such a great resource as it allows you to match your body shape with the silhouettes thus enabling you to choose clothes that make the most of your assets making you feel truly great!
