THe Hourglass

The hourglass figure is commonly referred to as the “ideal” body type, this figure is usually very well proportioned and balanced. Your shoulders and hips are about the same width with a well-defined waist. Some great tips for dressing this figure are to always try and emphasize your curvy figure and never add bulk. You can wear anything from fitted to loose and flowing styles with a straight or flared silhouette. Some things you want to stay away from are thick bulky sweaters, baggy clothes, and high necklines and fitted pants; these will emphasize the wrong areas. I chose this form fitting dress, it hugs your body perfectly making you look amazing. To add length to your legs wear a pointed shoe, I chose this black shoe with red accent bow for a little color. The bag is really up to you, but since I had the red accent I picked a red bag to compliment the red bow. This long necklace draws the eye downward and the knot in the middle draws attention to your center, which is usually the part you want to accent most. For the rest of the jewelry I just kept it simple with bangles that matched the necklace, and simple post earrings, and a great ring. The hourglass figure is probably the easiest shape to dress, so if you aren’t “living it up” with your figure and showing it off you should start! Let me know how you like it!
