7 Ways to Select Clothes that Flatter Your Body Type
5. Use the right color to suit your body type
Dark colored clothes are known to make larger body frames look slender and toned. When slim women wear light, pastel shades like mauve, mint green, lavender or lemon yellow, it can add volume to their frame and make them look voluptuous.
6. Wear embellished clothes according to where you want to call attention
Embellished clothes include those with patterns, bows, stone work, embroidery, sequins of any kind or rosettes. Embellishments draw attention to themselves so you should pick clothes with embellishments accordingly. For example, if your shoulders are your assets and you want to draw attention there, wear clothing that has embellishments on the shoulders or neckline.
7. Choose the structure of your clothes according to your body frame
Outfits with drapes, gathers and pleats may look dramatic and glamorous but may not suit every woman. In fact, these elements are extremely tricky to use and should be worn with caution. Slim women can wear outfits with drapes or with a peplum waist as this can add some bulk to their frame which would make them look good. Women with heavier bodies should avoid drapes and wavy clothing.
