What colors,designs, and trends are right fo rmy body type?

Question

I'm short, I have an hour glass figure, and I have really big breasts.

Answer 1

So am I :-)
If you're like me, you have a hard time finding clothes that fit right. What fits in the waist, is too tight everywhere else, and what fits your bust or hips is baggy in the waist. (Just going to use JC Penney for examples here, since they aren't expensive or trend specific.)

Start with the best fitting bras. Your clothing won't look right in a cheap bra that doesn't support you. Get yourself measured every time you buy new bras. Even a 5lb weight change can affect your bra size.
Look for jeans that sit slightly lower on the waist, but not on your hips. Jeans with too low of a rise can shorten your legs (making you look shorter) and take away from your curves making you look slightly boxy. Try a dark wash demin with a straight or small boot cut to lengthen your legs. Stay away from tapered, wide flares, light colors, and jeans that sit on your waist.

Look for pants in the same style, darker colors and straight or boot cut. Stay away from capris and gauchos, they tend to make us look shorter since they usually don't hit petite women in the right spot on the leg.
For desses, look for styles that will hug your waist, hit you at the knee, and flatter your curves. The wrap dress is big right now, and it looks great on any body type. It's also easy to get a good fit in since the waist is adjustable with the ties. Plus, the side ruching flatters the figure. The deep V will make you look smaller in the breast while still showing off your great curves. Another great style to try is the bias cut. It's cut diagonally across your body, so there are no horozontal lines to cut you in half adding bulk or taking away height. They also tend to flow with your body, not agaist it, flattering your curves. Stay away from empire waistlines, dropped waistlines, halters, and no-waistline stlyes.

For tops, you want styles that will fit properly. You want things to be a bit more tailored, not loose, but also not skin tight. Again, try wrap shirts, and stay away from halters and empire waistlines. You also want to avoid any shirt with a lot of detailing on top. Pockets, wide lapels, bold designs, overly bright colors, can all draw the eye straight to your breasts and make you look top heavy. You also want to stay away from short sleeve shirts where the hem of the sleeve stops at or near your bustline. Try a 3/4 sleeve. Button ups tend to add bulk around my waist since I have to buy to fit my chest and they don't fit in the waist. If you have the same problem, try styles with lacing or ties in the back or sides where you can fit the top to your body, or avoid them all together. You can also try belted tunics and layered looks to keep you shape without emphasising your breasts too much.

Another great look to try is pairing a cami or tank with a fitted jacket, waist to the top of your hip bone in length. The stretch of the knit underneath shows off your figure while the jacket over it keeps you from looking trashy. Plus, keeping your jackets shorter shows off a longer leg length, and won't give a boxy shape the way a longer jacket can by hiding your waist. Stay away from shoulder pads, wide lapels, lots of buttons, or buttons high on the neckline.

For a skirt, again look for knee length. Anything too short or too long can make you look shorter. Plus, shorter skirts can add weight to curvy legs. Try either pencil skirts or small flares, nothing too tight or too loose. You also want to avoid tiered, layered ruffles, crinkled, ruched, or any other style that adds volume. Volume equals bulk, and you don't need to add any to your bottom half since you are already evenly proportioned.

If you do opt for a longer skirt, make sure it hits at the ankles, not the mid-calf. Tea length skirts and dresses can make you look shorter, while a dark ankle length skirt or dress can add height when paired with a dark top. You also want styles that are tailored to your curves, and have a bit of shape at the bottom.

Shoes can make or break your look, believe it or not. Adding a white sneaker to dark denim cuts your leg line, adding bulk to your foot and shortening your legs. Look for darker colors to keep the eye up, and not at your foot.

When choosing a boot, look for mid calf to knee high styles that will lengthen your legs under pants and skirts. Avoid ankle boots that cut your leg in half. While you don't have to have a pointed toe (although it helps) look for elongated styles that will add length which in turn adds height. Avoid platforms and wide heels that will add bulk to your legs. You also want to avoid square and overly rounded toes.

The same applies for other dress shoes. Look for longer toes, skinnier heels to add height, avoid square and round toes, and bulky heels. Another thing to consider, no ankle straps or straps across the top of your foot. It cuts your legline in two, taking away from height. Yes, they are cute as anything. So for a substitute, try a sling back for that strappy look that won't shorten your legs. You also want to keep your shoes simple, again, so people aren't looking at your feet.

Then make sure your hairstyle, makeup, and jewelry is right for you. Keeping the attention on your face is the best way to add the illusion of height and look great. No matter how you dress, you want people looking you in the eye, not at your chest or feet.

Answer 2

It's been a less body-buildey type atmosphere for awhile now. It's mostly due to the fact that the WWE found it's wellness standards under government scrutiny after Benoit's death. Soon after, Sports Illustrated raised a red flag by listing numerous superstars who shared the same physician with Benoit and were known steroid users for one reason or another. Of course, SI, with it's "journalistic integrity", didn't bother to check out the names named or the reasons why they were using. Amongst the ridiculous named were Rey Mysterio, Edge, and John Morrison. While Morrison was repremanded, it was all but accepted that Rey and Edge were using the roids for hormone therapy for their neck and knee injuries respectively. Ever since, guys like the Miz, Evan Bourne, Kofi, Sin Cara, and CM Punk have been popping up on the roster, which is ironic considering at least two of those guys have been busted for wellness. Also, the WWE started biting the bullet with liabilities like Jeff Hardy and offering rehab programs to former talents, which they still do today. As of now, a majority of the cream of the crop independents from the past 10 years are either in WWE television contending for world titles, in development, on NXT, or in TNA. It's not because they're good wrestlers either, it's because they're small guys who don't look all that privvy to using steroids. The new wave of youngsters coming up would rather play video games and skype with their girlfriends back home than go out and drink. The funny thing is, this all happened before too in the early 90's when the first steroid scandal went down. That's why we had Bret Hart, Perfect, Shawn, and Bret's family and in-laws (again, some wellness irony there with the British Bulldogs) rising. It's also why the WWE began losing steam in the Monday Night Wars. As of now, with guys like Punk on top, ratings history is repeating itself a bit...

Answer 3

As some of the others said, skinny jeans with short heels or boots make your legs look longer and slimmer. guys like hour glass figures, so dont worry about that, and as for tops, i would suggest something loose and flowy like a baby doll top that sinches in a little higher than the middle, this way you dont look too top heavy and its not a slutty look. another suggestion is a pair of loose cargo pants only knee length with flip flops, and a t-shirt. i have seen this in magazines a lot lately and it is a good look. just make sure the t isn't tooo tight. as for colors, if you have dark skin, colors such as pale yellow, light pink, and pale blue would look good, but on lighter skin you could go with white to make you look more tan, blue, brown...Good Luck! sorry this was so long tooo! i just had a lot to say! haha...

Answer 4

I would stay away from stripes...try some skinny jeans with the boots that go over top them almost to your knee..that makes people look thin...
if you have large breasts, I wouldn't wear real tight shirts...try shirts that are a little looser and a a little longer
you can wear almost any color ..... just put colors up to your face to see what looks good with your complexion.
dark black or gray jeans are in this yr...and anyone can wear those!
always wear heels to make you look taller and thinner
if you dont' like the skinny jean look..try cuffing them and wearing little heels..it's a cute look

Answer 5

In my opinion, a good hair style is any that you like that adds a little height. It helps to elongate the face and neck. Otherwise, long hair do's make us real women look like we have 'no necks'. Makes it look like it goes from head, straight to the shoulders!

I love the wispy look for afro hair, add some chestnut highlights, and it just makes those baby brown eyes pop!

Answer 6

Answer 7

babydoll tops, tunics, cute short blazers, flared leg jeans, with a good long length to them. Enhance your body by flaunting your assests, in a classy way.

Answer 8

Of all first, I like the skirt!!! People notify me I've nice legs but I still don't wear shorts
