The Entire Information to Dressing for Your Frame Form
We know you know what looks good on you—perhaps there’s a wrap dress that consistently makes you feel confident or you always gravitate towards wide-leg pants—but we figured a more in-depth look at dressing for your body type is never a bad idea.
From deciding if you're an hourglass shape, pear, banana, or apple, there are plenty of different physiques that with just a little knowledge can look even better. That could be balancing out your proportions with a pair of flared jeans, or highlighting the most flattering part of your body with a cutout dress, there are some incredible ideas you might have never even thought of. One thing's for sure, though, this will help you feel and look your best. Scroll down to see the specific styles that make your body type look its absolute best, from coats and tops to skirts and dresses.
