This is my guide for working out how to wear clothes that will suit your body shape!- If you are tall and thin, then you should wear clothes that give a sensation of volume and play with layers. Horizontal stripes are good for your type of body, because they give a nicer illusion against a tall and thin body, rather than sharp clothes that would make you also look sharp and bony. Furthermore, cutting the silhouette in two with garments of different colour or pattern or a belt really suits.
- If you are short, with rounded forms, wear garments in just one colour and darker tones. In pants suited, the jacket should be fitted at the waist, and stop below the hips. Vertical stripes, particularly in black and white, are recommended. Curvy, figure-flattering clothing can also look lovely.
- If you are athletically shaped (i.e. muscly), a masculine style suits perfectly.
- If you have thin legs, patterned leggings add more volume to naturally thin legs. Choose similar coloured clothing for legs or multiple layers.
- If you have short legs, on the other hand, trousers with straight legs and a high waist look fantastic make the legs look longer. Wide legged pants can also flatter, but only in sheer fabrics. Long-length dresses don't suit so at parties, tend to wear cocktail dresses.
- People with narrow shoulders, avoid chokers or short necklaces- as well as shawls and scarves that wrap around the neck. With dresses and tops that have wide straps, wear them towards the outer end of the shoulder.
- Those with thick hips, need to draw attention away from the hips- no tight things around the waist. Garments that cover the hips flatter. Skirts should be wide with drape; trousers in sheer fabrics.
- For those with wide waists, style with lots of draping styles to flatter this body type. Try A-line dresses and coasts.

Shown above are some LOVELY styles from the Emmy's, including character of 'Lily' from How I met Your Mother, 'Penny' from Big Bang Theory (Kaley Cuoco) and another girl whose name I cannot remember. All showing off beautiful dresses and hair-do's. Love the pink matching cropped top with maxi skirt from girl numero 3, as well as Penny's beautiful rouge layer dress, and Alyson Hannigan- well, I just love HIMYM and her dress is quite nice and flattering too! Furthermore, the final candidate for fashion success, is this random (soz if she uber famous) but awesomely dressed lady. The overall darkness of her hair and whole dress is suddenly changed by the hint of light in the little white shoes she shows a slither of in the cut of her dress. I love this lady- whoever she may be.
