As we enter the festive season and begin picking out our star traditional outfits for this year, it’s only natural to pay more attention to our body types, in the process. While every body type has its own closet preferences and reservations, curvy women are often caught in the classic dilemma — which traditional silhouette will flatter their curves?
But, ladies, understanding your body types — the areas to focus on and parts to take the attention away from — can totally change your traditional-dressing game. So, while you may know your body type really well, it’s important that we help you find the right ethnic pieces. Here are a few pieces we’ve curated for different curvy-body types.
Fuller in the middle:
Pro tip – Go for empire-waisted, wrap outfits to make the waistline look a little higher, and choose cuts that draw attention to your arms.
Fuller lower-body:
Pro tip – Easy and relaxed silhouettes towards the bottom will take the attention away, while stylish necklines and sleeves will draw it to your lean upper-body.
Broader hips and thighs
Pro tip – Opt for shoulder-enhancing cuts and flowy A-line silhouettes.
Broad shoulders and fuller bust:
Pro tip – You should pick deeper necklines if you want to take the attention away from your shoulders, and choose well-tailored, stylish bottoms.
Fuller bust and bottom:
Pro tip – Pieces that fit well around or help you flaunt your waistline should be your choice.
