The Ideal Look For Your Figure Type




Your jackets should be: straight-cut, slight nip at the waist, fingertip length, subtle with natural shoulder padding, flat textures, and single-breasted.
Pants should be: flat front, zip at the side or back, straight, loose cuts, no cuffs, and flat textures.
Tops: tailored, boatnecks, high necks, length a bit below the belt, keep it neat, not sloppy or oversize.
Skirts: subtly pegged, flat front, side or back zip, no waistband, sits on your hips, and flat textures.
Dresses: nipped-waist sheath, single-breasted coatdress, softly belted, easy-fitting slip dress.
Swimsuit: high neckline, tank or tankini, built-in bra, matte finish, small print on a dark background, and 18%-plus spandex.

If you have a BOYISH figure --

Jackets should be: curvy cut, rounded hips, midhip length, thick textures are OK, but are not a must, belted style, double-breasted's OK but also not a must.
Pants: can wear almost any pleats, thicker textures are OK, but again, not a must, can wear hip-huggers.
Tops: thick textures, halters, cowls, wraps, lengths just past your waist.
Skirts: pencil, pleats, A-line, and wraps
Dresses: easy-fitting halters, shirtwaists, bathrobe wraps, trench dresses, slip dresses, coat dresses, and empire waistlines.
Swimsuits: colored panel or shirring at colored panel waist,  on side of the torso, boy bottoms, shiny finishes, and thick textures.

If you're SMALL-BUSTED --

Your jackets should be: curvy cut and nipped at the waist, double-breasted's OK but not a must, can wear breast pockets, thick textures are OK, but also not a must.
For pants, you can wear anything!
Tops: thick textures, halters, cowls, should be a lighter color than pants or bottoms, open necks, breast pockets, and safari-inspired.
For skirts, you can wear just about anything!
Dresses: safari-inspired, bathrobe wraps, cheongsams, coat dresses, trench dresses, and chemises.
Swimsuits: lighter top than the bottom, texture, detail, contrast color at the bustline, criss-cross construction at bustline.

For those of you with a PROMINENT TUMMY --

Your best jackets would be: fingertip or past hip length, an easy fit that you can wear buttoned, and flat textures.
Pants: flat front, zip at the side or back, easy fits, not tight, and flat textures.
Tops: hipbone length or longer, lean through the sides of the torso, and no elastic-hemmed tops.
Skirts: flat front, side or back zip, pegged, wrap, A-line, and flat textures.
Dresses: matching coat/sheath ensemble, matching dress/long jacket ensemble, trench dresses, safari-inspired, and easy-fitting sheaths.
Swimsuits: dark bottoms/lighter or brighter tops, a tankini if the top reaches the top curve of your tummy, matte finish, and 18%-plus spandex.


The ideal jackets for you are: hip-passing length, structured, with a subtle nip at the waist, single-breasted, flat textures, a lighter shade worn over monochromatic shades.
Pants: flat front, drapey fabric with some flow, not too narrow, and flat textures.
Tops: best lengths are hip-passing or just above widest part of the hips, high necks, elbow-length sleeves, and monochromatic with bottom piece.
