Strawberry

A generous bust, broad shoulders with narrow, tapering hips and flat bottom creating that luscious strawberry shape. You also have great legs and can wear skinny trousers/jeans as well as wide-legged flat front trousers. Wearing v-necked style tops and wrap dresses will work well for your shape asa you can often be short in the torso so you want to create some space in your top half.

Skirts are made for your shape! You can carry off volume and print such as full, maxi-styles or flowing fabrics with a print. A-line styles also work and a pencil skirt was pretty much made for your figure, just be sure to balance out your top half.

Avoid high-necked tops and fussy details such as pussy-bow, shoulder pads and volume which will add width to the bust and shoulder area. Keep it simple and put the drama and focus on your bottom half.

You have a small waist which often sits high, wider hip area than top half often wearing a size or more smaller in your top half. Buying trousers can be a nightmare for you!

High-waisted trousers and belts are your friend as is anything with structure or detail to the shoulder area such as structured blazers/jackets or ruffles/puff sleeved tops which creates volume on your top half.

Apple

You tend to carry weight around your mid-section with little to no waist definition. Often generous bust, flat bottom, slender ankles and great legs! Wearing v-necked tops add length and will help fabric sit better over your bust — ensure the length of tops and jackets sits at your hip, no shorter.

Keep the top half simple, so avoid volume though you can go for print, pattern and proportions. Bold, short, necklaces, hairbands, hats and earrings work well to draw the eye up.

Empire line, bias-cut and wrap style dresses and tops will look great on you. Look for fabrics which glides and drapes over your shape and create length with layers such as a waterfall cardi or longline blazers.

Hour Glass

You are in proportion from shoulder to hip with a defined waist which sits high up and a generous bust. Your waist is your greatest asset and should ALWAYS be highlighted, so fitted styles, great fabrics and a bit of stretch will really emphasise your fantastic curves!

V-necks, halter-necks, strapless and scoop necklines flatter your bust, especially if petite as it creates space and length for you. High-waisted trousers work well for you with slim fit, bootcut and wide-leg styles. Fir and fabric is key for you to embrace your curves.

Avoid shapeless, baggy clothes and boxy styles which will hide your curves — high-necked tops will add volume to your bust area. Linen and starchy cotton can be tricky, as there is no give in these fabrics.

Athletic

You are in proportion with slender often toned arms and legs. You have little to no wait definition, though you are fortunate in that you can wear most styles. High-necked tops, skinny jeans and styles with volume and print were made for you! You can create the illusion of a waist by adding volume to the top and bottom half with print, colour, ruffles, frills & bows which will create shape and interest. Adding a belt or tucking in will add waist definition.

Avoid spaghetti straps as these can increase your lean look and baggy, boxy styles can drown your slender frame. Consider wide-leg trousers and if petite look for high-waisted styles as these will elongate.

Accessories, shows and bags in proportion to your shape and height will work better — large styles can overwhelm your frame.
