Little do people know that your size doesn’t really matter because when you go shopping for clothes you have to shop for your body shape not size, that’s because different people have different body shapes and each body shape has different styles to suit it, always choose the style that suits your body shape and then pick out your size. For women there are at least 5 different body shapes which include
THE APPLE SHAPE
Someone with an apple shaped body tend to carry weight around their mid-section and tend to NOT have a well-defined waist. People with this body shape mostly have great legs and when it comes to picking out clothing, you have to show of this asset and avoid creating volume to your waist.
CLOTHING THAT SUIT YOU:
- Empire line and longer length tops will flatter your figure
- Go for low-ish necklines to draw the eye upwards.
CLOTHING TO STAY AWAY FROM:
- Short, boxy jackets
- pleated or tiered skirts

THE PEAR SHAPE:
People with a pear shape are usually bigger around the hip, bottom and thighs. Majority of women have this body shape and lucky for you people with this body shape usually have a flat stomach. If you have this body shape you have to try and add more figure to the upper part of your body.
CLOTHING THAT SUIT YOU:
- Bold bright tops
- tops with large collars, lapels or sleeves.
CLOTHING TO STAY AWAY FROM:
- Tube, pencil and fishtail skirts, especially tight-fitting ones

THE STRAWBERRY SHAPE
Ladies with the strawberry shaped body usually have a figure that’s bigger up top than on their bottom half because of broad shoulders and/or big boobs. People with strawberry shaped body usually look athletic or very boyish, but the right clothing can change your appearance.
CLOTHING THAT SUIT YOU:
- Fuller skirts and wide leg trousers will balance out your body shape.
- Don’t be afraid of bright colour on your bottom half.
CLOTHING TO STAY AWAY FROM:
- Shoulder pads and tapering trousers
- steer clear of puff sleeves, epaulettes and halter necks. MAJOR NONO!

THE HOURGLASS SHAPE:
Ladies with an hourglass shape are lucky enough to have one of the best body shapes; they usually have an even bust and hips with a well-defined waist. People with this body shape should try not to dress too bulky.
CLOTHING THAT SUIT YOU:
- Wrap dresses
- waist-cinching belts and flared or wide leg jeans
CLOTHING TO STAY AWAY FROM:
- Shapeless baggy jumpers

THE RECTANGLE BODY SHAPE:
Ladies with a rectangle body shape usually have a straight body, you usually don’t have a boyish chest but you lack curves. There are certain clothing you could try that would create the illusion of a curvy body.
CLOTHING THAT SUIT YOU:
- A structured coat that cinches in with a belt
- high-necked tops
CLOTHING TO STAY AWAY FROM:
- Low rise jeans and trouser
- sheath dresses.
