Tips on choosing cocktail dress according to figure

Share |

You already know how important it is to choose clothes according to your figure type.

To know you figure shape read here

So, I think there is no need to explain that a cocktail dress when selected correctly looks perfect or bad if you’ve chose something wrong. Of course your goal is to make the most of your assets by selecting a cocktail to enhance your figure and detract the eye from your weak spots.

When you know you look stunning nothing can spoil your mood and you will enjoy your time with friends.

Triangle Shape

Pear shape looks very feminine but heavy bottom needs to be de-emphasized.

So, to draw attention away from that, opt for an A-line skirt or empire waistline. Add padded shoulders to balance the top and bottom.

Or select a two-toned dress with the lighter or brighter color above the waist and the darker tone below the waist.

Hourglass Shape

Those lucky who have this figure type should not think much about what areas to hide. Your shape is perfect and what you need is just to improve what you have.

Everything looks good on you. To show off your curves prefer tight-fitting garments.

Rectangle Shape

Your waist should be accentuated. To do this, choose wrap or surplice tops. Consider wearing a coordinated skirt and top instead of a cocktail dress.

A cocktail suit with a peplum jacket is also a good decision. In case you want to wear a dress, include a jeweled or sequined belt, or tie a nice ribbon to cinch the waist, adding definition.

Stay away from tube dresses and boxy jackets, which will never add definition to your waistline.

Apple Shape

Avoid wearing shapeless, loose, baggy clothing. You should know that nowadays many companies are creating fashionable clothing in your size and you can choose from a wide variety.

Opt for soft materials that drape rather than fabrics that cling or hang. V-neck will look good as well as nice jewelry and distract attention from your ample body. If you have shapely legs wear interesting shoes.

Inverted Triangle Shape

To augment your lower body half wear a dress with a flair skirt.

Try an unusual or asymmetrical hemline. If you want to dress in a cocktail pants suit, choose wide legs or pants that flare at the bottom. Interesting shoes can also draw attention away from your heavy top.

General Tips All Figure Shapes

Dark colors create a slimmer look, no matter what your body shape is.

Dress proportionally with your height. Long tops, jackets, skirts and dresses swallow petites, while cropped tops and short skirts and dresses emphasize length on exceptionally tall girls.

• To emphasize the upper body and draw attention away from the lower body use jewelry and interesting necklines

Make sure clothes fit you well. Ill-fitting items tend to emphasize problem areas.

Don’t allow your clothes to eclipse your personality. Cultivate your own style. If your personal style is good, you should wear it with confidence and your inner beauty will shine through.
