The Top 3 Things Any Body Type Can Wear

One of the main philosophies of NashVogue is to be sure that every woman is dressing for her body type. In today’s fashion, there are many things that one body type can wear, but the others can’t. On the flip side, there are a few things that every body type can wear. Here are the top three and why:

3) Straight-Leg Pant: This is great for every body Straight-Leg Pant type for 2 reasons. 1) The straight leg pant helps hide the wider hips of the pear and hour glass by creating a straight line from thigh to floor. 2) This cut helps out apples and rectangles by creating a long line which draws attention from the broad shoulders of the apple and accentuate the long legs of the rectangle.

2) A-Line Skirt: The 2 reasons the a-line skirt is  great for all body types is A-Line Skirtgoing to sound like a contradiction. A-lines are great for pears because it hides those wider hips beneath it’s flowing fabric. It’s great for apples, hour glasses, and rectangles by helping to create/accentuate those gorgeous feminine curves down bottom. As I said, this may sound like a contradiction, but it’s the way it works.

1) Wrap top or dress: The number one item that Wrap Topworks for all body types is the wrap top/dress. Every women has the thinnest part of their waist at  about the same spot. These wrap tops and dresses all tie around this area. Therefore, they help to create feminine curves on every body type, regardless of what it is.

Word of Warning: In this post I am merely talking about the cut of the item. Fabrics and patterns will play a large part into whether a particular piece will work for your body type. For example, a wrap dress with large flowers on it will not be ideal for pears and apples (as this draws attention to both top and bottom – remember, in apples and pears we are trying to accentuate the smaller half), but the cut of a wrap dress is great for all.
