My Best Foot Forward

Dress Your Body Type : Hourglass

This is me. I am an hourglass, which means that my shoulders are the same width as my hips, but I do have a naturally defined waist.

I am 5’8”. I am still an hourglass. My shoulders are still the same width as my hips, with a defined waist. Height will not change your body type.

 

 

Hourglass Capsule
An hourglass is already in proportion so they need to look for items that show off their curves. Very tailored, fitted pieces like pencil skirts, blazers and wrap tops work well. They should avoid clothes with any volume like blousy tops or full skirts.

• Pencil Skirt
• Scoop or V-neck Sheath Dress
• Wrap Top
• Fitted Blouse
• V-neck Cardigan, buttoned or belted in the middle
• Jacket/Blazer nipped in at the waist
• Straight-leg Trousers, horizontal or no pockets at the hip
