262. What Does Your Body Type Have to Do with Your Style? {Signature Style Series}

“I thought I didn’t have style but now I realize I just didn’t know how to dress for my body
type.”

Women’s bodies come in all shapes and sizes, and no two are alike. So it’s no wonder
than trying to dress like someone else can leave you feeling frustrated and feeling
frumpy. What most women don’t realize is that your body type has more to do with your
style than you might think. In this episode I’m sharing how knowing this one key factor
can affect your style in more ways than you can imagine, and how to leverage it to
create our unique look.

Your body type affects your style in more ways that you might think.

First, you need to know what your body type is. This is the starting point for knowing
what works for you.

Consider your shape. That’s going to determine what silhouettes

Fit and Proportion:

Different body types have different proportions. For example, an hourglass figure might
benefit from cinched waists to accentuate their curves, while a rectangle body type might use belts or contrasting colors to create the illusion of a waist. Clothes that fit well will always look more flattering, regardless of body type. Ill-fitting
clothes can be uncomfortable and unflattering

Highlighting Features:

Certain clothing cuts can draw attention to your favorite features. For instance, someone
with broad shoulders might choose a v-neck to elongate their neck, while someone with
great legs might choose a skirt or shorts to show them off.

Confidence and Comfort:

Ultimately, feeling confident and comfortable in what you wear is the most important
thing. If a certain style doesn't flatter your body type but makes you feel amazing, rock it!

Beyond Body Type:

Personal style goes way beyond body type. Consider your lifestyle, personality, and what
makes you feel like you. Fashion is constantly evolving, and there are trends that flatter all body types. Experiment
and find what works for you!

The takeaway: Body type can be a starting point for exploring styles that flatter your
proportions, but it shouldn't be a limitation. Embrace your unique shape, find clothes that fit well, and wear what makes you feel confident and like the best version of yourself.
