how do you figure out what kind of clothes to wear for your body type?

Answer 1

i'll tell you

Answer 2

First, you have to know what your body type is. There are different names for the figures, but it all amounts to the same thing. Here are some links to help you find it out, with some general fashion tips.

The main thing you want to do is to draw the eye to the smaller parts of your body while disguising the larger, to give a more balanced look. The easiest way to do this is with colors. Darker, solid colors on the larger areas, and lighter or brighter solids on the smaller.
I'm not giving more information now, it's just too long to list all the tricks for every figure. Once you've found your body type, either post again for that figure, or do a web search for it, like "dressing pear shape" or "dressing hourglass shape", etc...

Answer 4

Honestly....trial and error. Just because a certain size in one brand fits you nice doesn't necessarily mean it will in another. So, you basically have to try things on to see what you like.

Answer 5

I wear what looks good on me, I wear what complements and flatters me. I have legs of steel so i wear short skirts and dresses.
like someone else mentioned its all about trail and error, something that looks good on you might not look good on me or vice versa.
