Style by Body Shape

Dressing for your body shape is about proportion and comfort, never about hiding. This category explains how to identify your shape (apple, pear, hourglass, rectangle or inverted triangle) and what tends to flatter each one: jean rises and leg shapes, necklines, jacket lengths, and where a belt helps or doesn't. We also cover petite, tall and plus-size fit, and how bodies change after 40 and through menopause. Treat these guides as starting points rather than rules. If you love something that supposedly breaks a guideline, wear it.
