Dress for success?!

Are you the pear, hourglass or maybe the banana?? (Btw, why is the straight figure called "banana"? Like bananas are straight..)

I borrowed the information from www.style-makeover-hq.com

 

So, let's start with the banana shape. Celebrities that have that shape is for example Kate Moss and Doutzen Krous.

 


Do wear:


  • Shoulder pads to emphasize your shoulders. This may sound very 80s advice, but they really do work. However, they should not be too large and definitely shouldn't be visible, ehehe.

  • Semi-fitted clothes (not too lose but not too tight either)

  • If you have firm upper arms, short-sleeves and sleeve-less tops and dresses

  • Medium to high necklines

  • Dresses that wrap or flow through the waistline

  • Straight to gently flared flat-fronted pants

  • A-line shirts
and DO NOT WEAR:

  • Clingy fabrics

  • Fitted clothes (tight shirts, skirts etc.)

  • Low necklines

  • Baggy tops
