You see a fly ass fit online (if you're like me you've added it in your cart so fast your hands have blisters) and you're counting down the days until it arrives on your front porch. In your head you've already planned out where to wear it, with what heels, what earrings are gonna make it pop. Thinking you know how to dress for your body type, you place the order, it arrives, you try it on and strut your stuff to your bedroom mirror and realize you look a hot damn mess! You're heartbroken! Sis, that was most shopping experiences for me. Why? Because, I wasn't shopping for MY body type, simple. And most of us aren't knowledgeable to what this means.
Your body silhouette is what your body type is. An easy way to determine your body type is with your shoulder, bust, waist and hip measurements. Consider your body type as the outline of your structure. Understanding your body type helps with shopping for clothes and then we turn it up a notch based on our personal style.
The goal is to make sure the styles we choose are beautiful, proportional, and enhance our looks for an even better looking silhouette. Tall, skinny, short and curvy do not determine your body type, the body parts do.
What are the main 4 Body Types?
You're a Apple Body Type if...
You're a Rectangle Body Typeif...
You're a Hourglass Body Type if...
You're a Pear Body Type if...
Listen sis, we have to be self aware and stay informed so we can cut down these crazy shopping nightmares! Plus, you now know that if a style is not fitting or looks ridiculous on you it isn't because you're out of shape and disproportionate!
Happy Shopping Fly Girls!
