Silhouette

Body type: Hourglass


Style approach                                             

Control your curves. Play them up or play them down and highlight your midsection. It should be your focal point. Or elongate your frame by minimizing your curves.


Pieces

Tops

  • Tailored shirts or blazers 
  • Form fitted tops with darts
  • Cinched, banded or belted blouses
  • V-necks and open necklines
  • Three quarter length sleeves
  • Diagonal cut sleeves and flutter sleeves. 
  • Leave tops untucked to lengthen torso. 

Avoid: Loose blouses that billow or flare from the bust line, trapeze tops which add bulk.

To maximize the bust line:

bright and light tops, horizontal stripes and prints, asymmetrical tops, ruffled and pleated blouses, details at the bust, boat, crew, high and low cut necklines. 

To minimize the bust line: 

  • Vertical or diagonal stripes or details 
  • Solid tops in neutral or deep colors
  • Wrap styles and tailored options with darts
  • Deep shawl collars
  • Try tops with a hidden closure inside to avoid gaping (buttons, velcro, etc.) 
  • Opt for structured tops with extra stretch to offer more room at the bust.
  • Avoid shiny fabrics

Pants

Keep it classy. Your voluptuous figure offers enough sex appeal. 

  • Cropped trousers
  • Slim fit bootleg cuts
  • Wide leg pants that balance out your top half (wear with heels to keep it streamlined) 
  • Pant creases lengthen.

Avoid: Short shorts. 

Skirts

  • Pencil skirts
  • Tulip skirts
  • Maxi skirts
  • Hemlines just above to just below the knee are flattering

Dresses

  • Wrap dresses
  • Fit and flare styles including A-line
  • Belted options
  • Sheath and tailored cuts
  • Anything that highlights your waist.  
  • Color blocking with light or bright colors at your waist and darker colors overall.  
  • Well tailored options. 
  • Empire waist also lengthens your torso

To minimize the bust line: 

  • Solid top portion of the dress in neutral or deep colors
  • Vertical or diagonal stripes or details
  • Wrap styles and tailored options with darts
  • Deep shawl collars
  • Vertical patterns or monochromatic to elongate

Jackets

  • Tailored blazers that button under the bust line
  • Jackets that highlight your waist (your smallest point)
  • Cropped jackets that show off your waist

Avoid: Baggy, untailored jackets

To minimize the bust line: 

  • Solid jackets in neutral or deep colors
  • Vertical or diagonal stripes or details
  • Wrap styles and tailored jackets with darts
  • Deep shawl collars

Shoes

  • As long as you are maintaining balance with your top half, you can wear most shoes. 
  • You can pull off heavier or rounder shoes as they visually balance a fuller bust. 
  • If you are wearing an over the knee boot, aim for them to reach the thinnest part of the thigh
  • Calf high boots that are angled at the top are elongating. 

To elongate your frame: Go a shade darker on your shoes than your pants, wear colors of similar intensity, match your boots to your skirt hem, match shoes to tights, wear knee high boots.

Accessories

  • Invest in the best bra you can 
  • Scarf tie will deemphasize the chest
  • Belts are your best friends. Cinch them around the hips to lengthen your torso or at your waist to show off your midsection.
  • Anything that highlights your midsection: contrasting skinny belts, bold wide belts, scarf at the waist. 
  • Bold accessories
  • Long necklaces and scarves.
  • When your shoes are the same color as your pants and/or hosiery/ skirt- you elongate your frame.  
  • Avoid: Accessories that throw off your natural balance. If wearing a bulky scarf, wear attention getting shoes.  To Maximize the bust line:
  • Wear a delicate necklace
