Lingerie according to body shape
Well, we all know that there are a few body shapes we all belong to. The list includes: hourglass, pear, apple and boyish shapes. Of course any of these shapes, except hourglass one, have some ‘problem areas’ a woman might want to hide. Let’s speak about those and try to determine how to choose lingerie to make the most of any figure.
Hour Glass shape
As I have already mentioned you are lucky to have this figure type. Your curves and a small waistline look feminine and sexy in any lingerie. I would say there is nothing you can’t wear. But the best for you is a corset as it extra-emphasizes your sexy hips and a tiny waist. Solid colors and prints, embroidery and other details – all these will make you look gorgeous!
Thigh-high boots
Thigh-length boots, known also as thigh-high boots or simply thigh boots, are boots that extend above the knees. Other synonyms include over-the-knee boots (OTK boots), and especially when cuffed, pirate boots. Lengths vary from reaching just over the knee to reaching almost to the crotch (referred to as crotch boots).
Like all boots, thigh boots are made of different materials ranging from various leathers, to various synthetic materials (vinyl, polyurethane, or latex), to various fabrics (silk, polyester microfiber). Many are constructed with zippers for ease of entry, but some are constructed as pull-on boots. Heel heights vary, but the majority are sold either as flats or with heels greater than three inches (7.5 cm). Heel styles vary from metal spikes to chunky. Like other boots, they can also have platform soles.
What to Wear with Ankle Boots
In all honesty, ankle boots are probably my least favorite style of women’s footwear.
It’s not that I dislike ankle boots for what they are, it’s more that I dislike how they’re worn — which is often in the most unflattering way possible.
I blame the media. Okay, that’s a cop out, and technically, I am part of the media, so I guess that statement needs a little clarification.
What I mean to say is that what we see on the runways and in fashion magazines does not always translate well for our own bodies and lives.
For example, ankle boots with cropped leggings or shorter tights is a definite “don’t” for women who have shapely calves. Even women who are on the thin side have to be careful as the combination seems to chop inches off your height while adding bulk to your legs.

1. Wear clothes that impress.
“I like to say that every day is showtime,” says Los Angeles public relations guru Harris Shepard.
Bosses we spoke with around the country agree: The trend is to look “pulled together” (a phrase that came up again and again). Choose the more tailored option—the pants, not the capris; the shirtdress, not the sundress. A no-fail rule from designer Liz Lange:
“Dress like the women execs at your company.”

How to Wear the Little Black Dress
Every woman has one, and it is her best friend. It is the little black dress that is perfect for unexpected dinner parties, weddings, funerals and every social event under the sun. Though every woman has a little black dress, there are some ways to spice up the way you wear it to make it seem new.
Step1
Add a belt. Especially if you have a classic sheath dress. Using a bright colored belt, or a neutral tone, is a great way to wear the little black dress with style.
Step2
Accessorize with the little black dress. Using something simple like an eye-catching clutch, or bold necklace, is a great way to wear the little black dress and show off your personality at the same time.
Step3
Wear a jacket with your little black dress to the office. It is a great way to dress up at the office without being inappropriate. This also makes it easy to transition from day to night if you are going out after work. Just take off the jacket and let your black dress shine.
Step4
Put on a pair of sassy, colorful shoes. Nothing makes a great pair of shoes stand out like wearing them with all black. Try a stunning pair of pink taffeta heels or a pair of satin maroon slides with any black dress.
Smooth Your Curves with Shape Wear
The holiday season brings about many things, two of which are lots of food and lots of parties. Sometimes the two are combined and sometimes the consumption of said grub inhibits the party clothes from looking holiday fabulous.
That is when things like Body Wrap Shape wear come in handy. Body Wrap Shape Wear has numerous undergarments that will smooth every kind of undesired bulge.
Looking through their catalogue I had no idea some of these things existed. Besides the basics like the long leg panty and long leg body suit with under wire, they also had thong body suits, a bottom enhancer with removable pads, high waist thong and high waist capris … among other things.
I also enjoyed the fact that they have a line of shape wear for the full figured woman. It’s nice when companies acknowledge the fact that some people have more to deal with than just a bloated pouch.
Fashion tips: choosing the right cocktail dress for your figure
While you can’t go wrong with the quintessential little black dress, you can make the most of your attributes by selecting a cocktail to enhance your figure, detracting the eye from your weak spots, and drawing attention to your assets.
You can even use jewelry to draw the eye to the neckline and away from the body entirely. Follow along with our tips for selecting the perfect cocktail dress, regardless of your shape or size. When you’re dressed to kill and you know it, you’re free to relax and enjoy the occasion, spend time making merry with friends rather than wasting energy wondering how you look.
Body Shapes
Determine your body shape, and select colors and styles to suit your general shape and flatter your figure. Then experiment with the tips for each body shape until you find your best look.
Pear
Attributes include a slender and often elongated torso, small bust, with hips and thighs proportionally larger than the torso and waist.
Toss the tight straight skirt in favor of an a-line skirt or empire waistline to de-emphasize the lower half of your body. Add padded shoulders to balance the top and bottom. Select a two-toned dress with the lighter or brighter color above the waist and the darker tone below the waist.
Hour Glass
Attributes include a small bone structure and waistline with bust and hips proportionally larger than the waist: in a word, voluptuous.
De-emphasize your voluptuous, abundant curves by shedding tight-fitting clothing in favor of clothing with a looser, smoother fit. Monotone colors work best by providing a sense of continuity from head to toe. Draw as much attention away from your bust and hips as possible by accessorizing with jewelry high on the neckline. If your clothing is monotone, you can wear flashier earrings as well, which draws attention to the face and away from the body.
Wear sleeves to cover the largest part of the arm. If your lower arms are shapely, you can wear 3/4 sleeves.
13 tips for tall and thin
So many girls dream of being as tall and thin as catwalk models.
They admire them, envy them, think that nature favored them with such figures absolutely undeserved.
Probably girls of this shape really look well but in many cases they have to work hard to have the body that is a dream of millions.
And skinny girls know for sure that not all garments look well on them and they must choose carefully to avoid too long and lean look.
For the girls who are the type described these tips maybe helpful in the process of selecting clothes.
Things to remember:
- Dress in layers, they add interest and disguise thinness.
- Avoid wearing bare, short and clinging clothes.
- Create the illusion of fullness and softness. In summer when your thinness is the most seen wear soft, fluffy fabrics.
how to find the perfect white shirt
It’s odd that the perfect white shirt should be so hard to find. Walk into any high street chain and there are lots of them – it’s just that to the picky eye there’s something just a little bit wrong with most of them.
Doing something simple well isn’t easy. Everything needs to come together: it needs fine cotton neither too thin nor too thick, a brilliant cut, great stitching, good buttons, perfect cuffs and sleeve length; and on top of all that, the best require a bit of flair. Which is why, if you were to do the white shirt equivalent of a blind wine tasting – that is, line up a big range with the labels ripped out – you’d nearly always find that the ones you really, really lusted after were made by the masters: Yohji Yamamoto, Comme des Garçons, Jil Sander in the old days, Martin Margiela, Viktor & Rolf (I still lust after one of theirs that I failed to buy a few seasons ago – simple but with an asymmetrical cross-over front and a gorgeous collar). You don’t need telling that none of these come cheap.
Whenever I think of the perfect white shirt, I always think of that lanky aristocratic French model, Inès de la Fressange, the one-time muse of Karl Lagerfeld, who had a way with white shirts – although, if you had a face and a figure like hers, it would be hard not to. She wore them strict and straight; on her they looked classier than any couture number. If you want to see how it’s done, check her out on YouTube, where she’s wearing one that, atypically, has a few frills, teamed with jeans and heels. That’s how it’s done if you’re a jeans-and-heels kind of girl. She also used to tuck them into pencil skirts – very Miss Moneypenny – and was immediately transformed into the kind of secretary whom every man dreamt of having.
If you’re going to do that, you need to find one that is cut slim so that it doesn’t bulk out the skirt, and pull it together with a gorgeous big belt. Here the high street chains have come into their own. They may not have the perfection of detail that the starrier masters go in for, but they’re a whole lot friendlier on the purse and there are plenty of neatly cut versions around.
