Inverted triangle: Your shoulders are wider than your hips. Balance your proportions by adding volume to your lower body. Great options for this include A-line dresses, patterned pants or skirts, and boot-cut jeans. Column: Your shoulders, hips, and midsection are all about equally wide. Choose clothes that accentuate both your hips and shoulders, and draw attention away from your midsection, like moderately flared dresses, and avoid bodycon clothing. Apple: You have a wider waist and an average-sized chest, with a wide back and somewhat shorter arms and legs. Draw attention away from your midsection, with A-line dresses.
To find your bust size, try on a bra with your band size, and fill it as you would for everyday wear. Then take another chest measurement around the widest part of your bust. Finally, subtract your band size from your chest size—this is your bust size. Generally, a difference that’s less than 1 in (2. 5 cm) is an AA cup, a 1 in (2. 5 cm) difference is an A cup, a 2 in (5. 1 cm) difference is a B cup, and so on. It takes a little trial and error to find the perfect bra, so try on a few different bras until you find one that’s not too snug, not too loose, and feels natural on your body.
Let’s say you have great legs. You might wear shorts, tailored pants, or short skirts and dresses. If you like your waistline, show it off by belting your clothes, by wearing a cropped jacket over a longer top, or by wearing a cropped top. If you’ve got nice arms, go sleeveless when the weather permits. Use dark colors to minimize areas you want to hide and wear light colors to draw attention.
“Younger” styles might include things like graphic tees, short shorts, or accessories like chokers or colorful bracelets, while “mature” styles might include things like blazers, pants, blouses, or jewelry with stones. Play around with your style until you find something that suits how you want to present yourself.
If your hair is very long, you might trim it with a pair of scissors first. You can use regular scissors or manicure scissors. Be careful that you don’t cut your skin.
Of course, you’re not restricted to only A-lines. Maxi dresses are another key dress type in a woman’s wardrobe, and come in a variety of styles.
Longer tunic tops are a great way to achieve a feminine shape in a looser, more comfortable style that goes well with things like leggings.
If you want to wiggle into some skinnies, go for it! They can be a great look with a big, loose top like a sweater or breezy blouse.
For heels, start with a low or block heel to help you get the hang of it. Heels are fabulous for lengthening your legs and accentuating your butt. For casual looks, don’t be afraid to grab sneakers, flats, or even sandals. Heels aren’t the end-all, be-all of a woman’s shoes.
For instance, you might wear dangly earrings to draw attention to your beautiful face or bangle bracelets to show off your wrists. Necklaces may not be the best option if you’re trying to hide your Adam’s apple. Try on a necklace before you buy it to see how it looks on you. Carry a handbag or purse if you like.
Synthetic wigs tend to be cheaper, but don’t last quite as long as a more expensive human hair wig, which also allows for more versatile styling. Of course, long hair is by no means a requirement! Plenty of women rock a short ‘do.
If your hair is chin length or longer, you might try curling it with a curling iron. You can have any hair length as a girl, so don’t feel like short hair is masculine.
Practice a new hairstyle in the evening or on the weekend so you have plenty of time. It might take a little practice to get it right.
Clips and other accessories also work well in short hairstyles, so don’t be afraid to experiment!
Let the concealer dry for about a minute before you put on your foundation.
It may take some experimenting to find the right shade, but look for one that blends naturally into your neck, and doesn’t cake up. Avoid powder foundations, for that exact reason.
Of course, feel free to play around with makeup to find a look that screams “You!” Makeup can be the most fun and versatile part of a woman’s appearance, but as with anything, it’s not a requirement.
You can find YouTube videos to help you learn how to shape your brows easily. If you like playing with makeup, you might try filling in your brows or reshaping them.
