The art and the science behind dressing for your shape is using detail to place in certain
parts of your body.
So if you already know your shape that's great because now you're gonna be able to fill in
the blanks and create that balance and proportion with your body using detail.
Detail is key and what I mean when it comes to detail is cut, color and conversational
pieces, all 3 of those pieces you can use to create balance and proportion with your
body so that you create that ideal silhouette.
Now, over here next to me, I have 3 mannequins with garments that you most likely have in
your closet and I'll go through to each assembly and give you an idea of what's good about
it, what's bad and change it up.
So, this one over here, we have a loose over sized tunic with jeans... now, I typically
see many women wear this assembly... now if you're a rectangle shape, great, you can totally
get away with it, however if you have a bigger bust you might wanna rethink the cut.
Why?
Because the higher the cut, the bigger your bust will look.
I don't have a very big bust so I can get away with it, however if you have a bigger
bust you want to show a little bit of skin here so that this creates that balance and
proportion.
Now, if you're a rectangle shape and you're wearing this first outfit, one of the details
you can use is cut, color (so you can put lighter colors up on top) and again those
conversational pieces.
In another words: accessory.
Accessories could be your inner style pieces.
Let me give you a few examples.
I already have a necklace there so as you can see, it creates that V shape and then
I have it tucked into the pants to give it a little bit more of a silhouette, you can
see I have tucked in and then you want to have a little bit of shape in your pants,
however if that's just a pencil straight skirt that's totally fine too, but you do wanna
bring in a little bit of detail below.
So rectangle: detail higher and detail lower.
Now again, I have already a necklace there so next thing that I can do is I can perhaps
add some shoes that adds that statement and that detail down below, so your eye goes up
and your eye goes down or you can also use a blazer... that's going to be a example of
color and I'll show you that in just a second and you can also wear scarf.
So now I place the scarf over on that first mannequin and that creates that V and creates
some of your inner style and now what about the detail down below?
If you're not wearing anything to give you shape down below what you could do is put
on a statement shoe and that will draw your eye down below.
So again, we've got detail up in top, detail on the bottom and we're also using color in
order to make it pop and to show us that shape.
The other statement accessory that you can do, if you don't wanna go with the necklace
or scarf, you can throw on color and the color block, as you can see, creates more shape
and tailoring because of that V neck.
So again, in this case we were using a conversational piece, some of those accessories, scarves,
necklace or color because we were bringing in the color block in the top or we can also
bring in some earrings.
Statement earring and statement shoes so the eyes gonna go up and gonna go down and we
did the color block so that's how you can really update specially if you're a rectangle
shape, simple outfit... something that you probably already have and bring in color and
also give it more shape because detail is key.
Let me go through some of the other outfits that I have here.
In this particular case, the rectangle shape could absolutely wear this outfit because
we're bringing in detail up on top and we're bringing detail down to the bottom but if
you're a pear shape, so if a woman is bigger at the bottom and smaller up on top she can
bring in lots of detail here at the top, something a little bit more fitted up on top because
again she wants to highlight her waist and down at bottom wear something that is going
to just go slim over your curves, you don't want to be too puff but slim over your curves.
Now I do have pattern here and typically you might wanna go with something solid but because
of the cut you're able to get away with some color.
Now the opposite is true of the wedge or apple shape... you notice I have a lot of color
at the bottom and I have something muted on top so that's what's really important with
these two silhouettes, so a little but on the opposite but again here we can do in the
middle this is for my pear shape body.
The pear shape woman wants to bring in as much detail up on top to draw attention to
her top and mute the bottom so she can also put on some print up on top and then go with
solid down at the bottom.
A trouser, this is a really great cut for women with the pear shape, it just goes straight
down or again you can go with A-line skirt or a maxi or just like a slim down skirt that's
a little bit longer.
Again mute a little bit of the area down below but then again highlighting and bringing the
detail up on top.
So I'm gonna recap for a second: rectangle you're bringing detail up on top and down
at the bottom, pear shape you really wanna focus on details up on top because you're
trying to balance the bottom and then you want the bottom to be as muted as possible.
Now when it comes to shoes for the pear shape you can go with a chunkier boot because that
will also help with the balance, you don't want to be bigger on the bottom and have super
super high heels, this will just be off balance.
Another really nice thing to do for the pear shape is that the pear shape body type can
really wear lots of really pretty cuts, so something of the shoulder, like a sweet heart
cut showing shoulders, turtle neck, anything to bring attention up on top, including earrings,
just really pretty kind of bold earring or necklace are really going to draw the eye
up and once again you wanna keep the bottom as muted as possible.
Now let's move over to last mannequin, now again the rectangle shape can absolutely wear
this, rectangle shape needs detail up on top, needs detail at the bottom and here what we're
doing is a really flattering cut, it has a V cut and, as you notice in the first mannequin,
this one already comes with the top with a V so this is a really nice shape.
The scoop neck along with the V shape and here we're bringing in detail into the waist
as we did with all these different looks and notice if you're apple or edge shape you want
to mute the top, so you want to be solid with little shine as possible and darker in comparison
to the bottom.
Now you don't only have to wear black or only navy or only dark colors but just in comparison
to the bottom so here you wanna go with something such as lime green, you can bring in red or
light grey, whatever you want but lighter in comparison to the top.
I found this skirt that I want to show you as well for the apple shape or for the wedge
shape.
This one flares out a little bit, over off to the side and this is a great skirt as well
because it makes your bottom look bigger.
You're trying to make the bottom part of your body look bigger so that it will balance with
the top.
The black trouser that I showed you earlier for the pear shape now...
This is also a great pant to wear if you're wedge or apple because it will balance the
top part and the other thing you want to consider is wearing light shoes on the bottom . Anything
that's going to call attention down at the bottom, so you've got your pants, if you're
wearing something that's darker maybe you can bring in a bootie or a heel, something
that's going to elongate you but also draw attention down to the bottom.
Now when it comes to jewelry absolutely you can wear jewelry, however wear up higher,
don't wear too long of necklaces because it's gonna draw the attention down to the tummy
and that's what you're trying to avoid and the other thing that's really important to
mention is that if you have a bigger bust, you don't want to draw attention to the bust
and if you're wearing a V neck you want to make sure that you're showing enough skin
but it's not down if you're trying to avoid making the bust look bigger.
So that's it for the detail is key.
Thank you so much for watching and i'll see
you in the
next Ada Style Minute!
