Fit Tips

When it comes to looking and feeling your best in the clothes you wear, knowing your body type and what best suits it, is just as important as knowing your proper size. Determine your individual body shape, and read below for helpful suggestions on what styles are most—and least—flattering for you.

OVAL OR H-SHAPED

GOAL: CREATE A SLIM APPEARANCE USING VERTICAL LINES.

  • Choose straight dresses that stop just above the knee.
  • Choose darker colors-they’re more flattering-but add a splash of bright color with a top, jacket, or scarf above the waist.
  • Suggested styles: deep V-necklines, asymmetrical cuts, loose-fitting tops made from a heavier fabric that keeps its shape, dresses with a designer shape.
  • Avoid: waistlines that are too close-fitting and draw attention to the waist, short jackets that stop at the waist, too many details that add fullness to the figure.
