Whether you’re petite, curvy, boyish or full-figured, these artifice will help you look your best both at the office and when stepping out for a party.

You usually know what looks best on you. But, dressing as per your body type is never a bad idea. Perhaps there’s a wrap dress that constantly makes you feel confident or you always gravitate toward tapered pants—but we have figured out a more in-depth style guide for dressing right.

APPLE – SHAPED

If you have a slender lower body and carry weight around the top of your body, your goal is to curtail your midsection by emphasizing your shoulders and legs. Outerwear: Try a swing coat. A swing coat will be amazingly flattering on you. Tops: Give flowy tops a shot. It is the best way to deemphasize your midsection. Pants: Try low-waisted straight-leg pants. Pants that sit low on the hips will help shun any stomach bulge. Skirts: Try a high-waisted circle skirt. The waistband will hit at the smallest part of the torso and flare out over the stomach. Dresses: Try a shift dress. A shift dress lies just far enough away from the body to camouflage any problem areas. Tailoring tip: Most women with apple figures have shapely legs, so get your dress hemmed to show them off!

HOURGLASS

If you’re voluptuous and curvy with a tiny waist, your aim is to highlight your curves, not hide them, by highlighting your waist.Outerwear: Try a belted jacket. It is the easiest way to play up your petite waist. Tops: A crop top is your thing. There’s a reason Kim Kardashian has adopted a crop top and pencil skirt uniform—it’s incredibly flattering on curvy girls. Skirts: Try a pencil skirt. A pencil skirt accentuates your curves and smoothes out your thighs. Dresses: Try a wrap dress. The V-neck is ultra-flattering to your bust, and the wrap detail emphasizes the curve between your waist and hips. Pants: Try wide-leg pants with a belted waist. The upside of belted pants? You can be sure they’ll fit faultlessly at the waist.

BANANA-SHAPED

If you have a slim lower body and carry weight around your middle, your aim is to underscore the thinnest part of your waist so your hips and bust appear larger and more proportional. Tops:Try a ruffled top. Shirts with ruffles around the bust make your top half look larger, which makes your waist look smaller and shapelier in contrast. Outerwear: Try a slightly cropped jacket with a banded bottom. Jackets that cinch in at the bottom are perfect for your shape. Skirts: Give mini skirt a shot. A form-fitting skirt will emphasize any curves you have, and the short hemline will flaunt your slim legs. Dresses: Try a side cut-out dress. The small side cut-out on this striped dress works to make your look curvier. The inward-pointing lines shape your waist, making it appear smaller in comparison to your bust and hips. Voila, curves! Pants: Try tapered pants. They will create the illusion of more proportionate hips.

PEAR-SHAPED

If the widest part of your body is around your hips, your aim is to stretch and balance your figure by accentuating your top half.Dresses: Try an off-the-shoulder fit-and-flare dress. Your exposed shoulders will take the attention off your lower body, and the skirt shape is ideal for highlighting the smallest part of your waist and then munificently flaring out to cover up wider hips.Outerwear: Try a structured jacket. Appealing details or prints direct attention to the top half of your body and give a bit of structure to the shoulder area, which makes your bottom-half appear smaller in contrast. Skirts: Opt for an A-line skirt. An A-line skirt highlights the smallest part of your waist, and flares out over hips. Tops: Try an embellished top. Embroidered or embellished tops are great for centering the focus on your slender upper body. Emphasize the effect by keeping your skirt or pants simple and unadorned. Pants: Try boot-cut pants .Boot-cut styles grant a one-two punch. They snatch attention away from the hips, and the volume at the hem balances out your hips, making them seem flawlessly proportioned. We like a slim flare for the most contemporary feel.
