Style for Your Body Shape

Life would be so much easier if every single dress style suited our shape... right? But it is a fact that wmen come in all shapes and sizes so it is important to know what styles suit which body shapes. Her is a list of top 10 style secrets for your body shape.

1. Skinny jeans and straight leg pants or leggings - If you have a classic hourglass body shape, these are a great choice for emphasizing your curves. Opt for snug-fitting hips and thighs with a mid-rise on the waist, and a straight line down from your hips to your feet.

2. A-line skirts - For women with an apple-shaped body, the best approach is to create better balance from top to bottom. Choose an A-line skirt in a solid neutral colour with a flair that hits right at or slightly below the knee; this lovely trick will give you more of an hourglass shape.

3. The little black dress - Every woman needs a little black dress, but the material and the cut will differ depending on your body shape. Choose an A-line skirt for an apple-shaped body, but a pencil-shape skirt if you have an hourglass shape. If you are pear-shaped opt for a dress that's not too tight fitting but that also has a slight flair shape to the skirt.

4. Striped Bermuda-style shorts - With just a few tiny style variations, this style will suit everyone. If you are shorter than 5' 4" make sure the shorts are well above mid-calf in length, and always opt for vertical stripes and a loose (but not baggy) fit.

5. Shirts, blouses, and tops - If you are pear-shaped then your bustline is smaller than your hips, so choose tops that make your bust look larger and fuller. Start with a padded or push-Up Bra, then choose tops with a loose fit, interesting or exotic print, and embellishments above the waistline; all of these features will draw attention up and make your bustline look more balanced with the rest of your body.

6. Slim-fit blazer - This is a wardrobe staple for all body shapes, but the specific shape and style of blazer will differ depending on your body. Slim bodies with few curves look best in a blazer that's fitted and a length that's 5 or 6 inches below your belly button. This style would suit Pear Shapes too, but look for extra cut in the waist to emphasies curves.

7. Black pants/white pants - These are also wardrobe staples for every body shape, as long as the fit is cut for your particular needs. Pear-shape requires a good (but not tight) fit in the hips and thighs, with a straight leg and boot-cut opening.

8. Stiletto heels - These are terrific for making your legs look long and slender, especially if you're a bit short, or if you're pear- or apple-shaped. Wear them with shorts or skirts for the best effect.

9. Empire waist shirts - These high-waisted styles look terrific on pear- and apple-shaped women because they draw attention to the bustline and create a better balance between top and bottom. Wear with a Padded Bra or a push up for maximum effect.

10. Tank tops - The hourglass figure looks terrific in tank tops as well as in camisoles and old-fashioned tube tops. Look out for anything tapered in the waist and avoid baggy t-shirts; think long-length shirts with a built in drawstring waist or those that can be worn with a stylish belt on the outside to emphasize your narrow waist.

Where can I go to buy inexpensive camisoles for layering?

I have always worn camis under shirts and I seriously can not wear a shirt without wearing a tank top underneath it. Does anyone know where I can find some inexpensive, preferably Shelf Bra and long camis in different colors? And by inexpensive, I mean under $10 each. $10 is really REALLY pushing it.
