Show Your Shape
The perfect proportion for a pear shaped body is an open neckline to widen the shoulders, nipped in at the waist and fabric flowing over the hips rather than tight. In the first example, these outfits follow this concept and flatter Kim’s body for perfect balance.
But she often goes for the tight shape at the hemline drawing attention to her hips.
While not a Slim Style Strategy, it is a very effective attention getting strategy. This ‘asset’ has helped build her empire!
When Kim wears all white, she shines! Her style and beauty are illuminated…
But when she wears dark colors on top and light on the bottom, it takes her body out of balance.
She often gets it right, but when it goes wrong… her beautiful shape is hidden in oversized prints. The dress on the left has a large triangle design that widens her hips.
Shiny fabrics expand her shape with the glowing lights from the camera.
Peplum styles are a disaster for her shape. They exaggerate the widest part of her body making her look wider.
Just like peplum styles, too much fabric around the hips is not a flattering look for the pear shaped body.
And speaking of too much fabric…loose styles do absolutely nothing for her shape, everything is hidden! The styles are cute but they would look much better on apple or rectangle shapes.
Ahhhhhh, balance and symmetry is the foundational principal to your flawless Signature Style!
Thanks to Kim Kardashin for serving as an excellent example of how dressing for your shape can flatter your body and for showing us what to avoid.
