Body Shapes
Part of stylish dressing is paying attention to your body shape!
We’ve grown up reading magazine articles on how to dress for certain body types. How to dress for “pear shape” or “apple shape,” or maybe you considered yourself a part of the “ruler” category, describing “lean, narrow-hipped women with small chests.”
But we are not inanimate objects. We are women who are strong and beautiful, no matter what fruit our silhouette most resembles. We do not fit any particular mold, nor do we have to dress based on the “type” we best fit in to. There are no easily-defined body shapes for every single woman because the great thing about being a woman is that no one else in the world has your exact body.
Instead of trying to dress to fit a mold, we should be dressing to highlight what makes us unique; the things about ourselves that make us feel confident, and what we love and appreciate.

Whether a magazine would tell you that you look like a pear, apple, a ruler, or any other inanimate object, you should be dressing the way you want to dress, in the way you feel most confident. Here’s some tips to help you get there:
