Choosing clothesDon't have to spend lots of money to look good, dress for your body type
Size: how it fits the figure
- Good fit: garment hangs on the body without showing underwear lines or pulling over
parts of the body
- Line of garment must be smooth, not tight, loose or baggy
-
Style: particular fashion or look
- Line of garment= what defines it, making it specific or unique
- Details of classic styles change over the years but style stays same ( denim jeans )
- Style referring to a mood, represents the feelings of a person or group
Colour: main consideration when choosing clothes
- Fashion colours change
Body types:
Ideal shape
Women: hourglass= hips and bust are same size, well-defined waist
- Avoid horizontal lines, add too much width to upper or lower body
- Avoid emphasising either top or bottom part of body
- Choose: one piece outfits or tuck in tops
Men: trapezoid= broad chest and shoulders, a medium to narrow waist and hips.
Upper torso bigger than lower torso. Well proportioned
- Wear anything
- Emphasise shoulder area
Other shapes:
1. Triangle:
- Women: bust line narrower than hip line, small waist, full thighs
- Horizontal lines above waist to create width
- Dark colours and rough textures below waist to detract from lower
body
- Bell shaped skirts that skim hips
- Emphasise upper body
- Men: chest is narrower than hips, lower body is heavier than upper body.
Sloping shoulder line
- Detract from bottom heavy frame, dark bottoms to appear slimmer
- Wear well-fitting clothes, tight clothing will exaggerate the size
2. Rectangle:
- Women : straight up and down shape, average to large waist. Small to
medium bust
- Broaden shoulders and hips to create waistline= horizontal lines in
pattern,styles and accessories
- Tops and bottoms with contrasting colours and shades
