Do you know how to flaunt your assets? Know how to deal with your imperfections, and enhance you assets by knowing your body type..

Thanks to the phenomenal invention of "clothing", most of our physical imperfections can be artfully concealed or minimized with a few simple tricks. Before you find the best clothes for your body type, you have to establish a profile of your proportions as it can be incredibly helpful in learning to achieve your most flattering look!.

Do you have big or small bones? If you're small-boned, your wrist will measure less than 6 inches. If it's over 6 inches, you are relatively large-boned. If you're shortwaisted, that's just not a problem to be dealt with above the waist. It may also mean that your lower torso or legs are particularly long, which may call for some adjustments in the clothes you buy and wear. A large proportion of American women are shortwaisted, and a great many women have heavy upper thighs. Bottom line is figures are not ideal. What we want to do is work with the body you have, and make it look at its absolute best!.

Have the courage to study yourself nude or in front of a mirror. Face up to each of your figure flaws. In self-examination, a lot of people tend to extremes, either blinding themselves to their faults or seeing nothing else. Do your best to see both the good and bad, and give equal emphasis to each. Keep in mind that you are not alone in having something that you wish to conceal. Some women will find that their bodies look better nude than clothed. They have an achievable goal - to make their clothes look as good as their bodies! Often, because we don't understand body proportion, we disguise, not flaunt our best assets and exaggerate our flaws..

Now let's go over some specific figure types, and how to flaunt your assets:.

1 - Tall and thin. Be glad! Clothing naturally looks good on you. Wear clothing that moves with your body. You're the one who can carry off those beautiful softly textured fabrics, even bulky ones. Let some skin show, and don't cover yourself with a vast expanse of fabric. Nothing should be too short or skimpy either. Avoid wearing anything clinging. Fullness and softness are your tricks of illusion, especially if you are very thin. Boots are perfect to the thin girl, they can camouflage skinny legs. If you feel that you're "built like a stick," establish a waistline by wearing different tones of separates or by wearing a full skirt nipped with a belt..

2 - Short. Avoid chopping your body with contrasting bold colors. One color or a mix of soft tones is best. To give the illusion of being longer, try simple dresses and jumpers. Most importantly, avoid overpowering anything - jewelry, hairstyle, even hats. Never wear anything bulky, big, or complicated. Proportion will do the trick. Don't clutter your neck; it will foreshorten your figure. To look longer and slimmer, wear a single color or hues of a single family.

3 - Large. Heavy frames sometimes have a built-in presence that you should take advantage of. Clothes must fit well. It should be comfortably loose except in the shoulder, which is likely to be your narrowest part - it should be closely fitted. A loose tent isn't the perfect answer, nor is anything that is skintight. Avoid wearing any fabric with bold patterns. A well-tailored dark suit with a touch of softness and color at the neck will draw the focal point upward, to your face. If you're heavy, it might be better to wear a pretty, flattering color occasionally, rather than always the predictable dark "slimming" shades. Don't hide, use pleasant attraction instead.
