Shop Your Shape

Every girl is unique and lovely in her own way but we all fall into a similar category when it comes to our shape. Some are in between and others its very clear. We pulled some of our customers aside and asked them to help us Shop Your Shape! 

Inverted Triangle - top heavy with broad shoulders and narrow hips.

As an Inverted Triangle, while your top half may be broad, your lower half is narrow and more trim allowing you to show off your great legs. Therefore finger tip dresses and skinny jeans are your best friend! Here we feature Kaitlyn, her style is girly and bold. She loves pops of color and fun accents. In the first and last dress we wanted to create a more hourglass frame by using cinched waist lines. The 3/4 sleeve length gives coverage to her broad shoulders and the bell sleeve adds a fun flare, perfect for any ginger! The second look, we have a square cut top that helps to hid her middle and give the illusion of a smaller torso. This shape looks great in the flowy, more boxy type tops but must always be paired with skinnies. In the third image we have a bright yellow overlay, offering coverage for her arms and shoulders.

Best: mid-rise cinched waist lines, 3/4 sleeve tops, and skinny jeans 

Avoid: Boyfriend cut and wide leg pants

Celebrities: Hilary Duff, Rene Zellweger, Reese Witherspoon

Rectangle - lean shape & naturally tone build; straight torso with shoulders that align with hips.

Being a Rectangle means while you lack curvy features you have great muscle tone and a smaller frame to work with. Here we have the lovely Becky, mother to four boys - she is no doubt a Boymom! Her style is casual chic so we paired her in looks that not only complement her leaner limbs but also comfortable to wear for an active lifestyle. In the first look the bold leopard tank and skinnies paired with lace up wedge and matching tote give her a casually chic every day look for those days of shopping or day events. In the second pic, the flowy tunic and flat jellies are everything this mom of four needs to tackle the day while looking effortless. In the final look, we wanted to show off her great legs! The chunky heels paired with this red wrap dress are the perfect day to night look.  

Best - tank tops, skinny jeans 

Avoid -  shift dresses or boxy type tops

Celebrities with this shape: Natalie Portman, Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Garner

Hourglass - broader chest/shoulders and hips with narrow waist.

Being hourglass shape while desired by many can be the most difficult to shop for. The waist being very narrow makes it hard to find the perfect fit. Here we have Emily, gorgeous as ever, wearing a few looks that really complement her best features. In the first picture she is wearing a lace, cuff sleeve babydoll dress. The higher waistline shows off her small torso and conservatively accentuates her chest. We like the cuff sleeve because it helps bring her shoulders in, giving an overall slimmer look. In the second image we put her in a tailored cropped blazer and black mini. The jacket with its clean lines and tapered cut give her coverage without taking away from her shape. Since she has great legs we couldn't help but pair with this scalloped-trim mimi, making this the perfect day to night look. In the final picture, she is wearing her personal favorite every day look. The maxi hugs her hips but flares out mid-thigh making her appear smaller. This flowy tank with the sides cut longer is perfect to help slim her hips but still show off her great curves.

Best - cinched waist lines, maxi dresses, tailored cuts

Avoid - oversized and square cut tops.

Celebrities: Katherine Heigl, Kim Kardashian, Scarlett Johansson

Triangle - narrow shoulders and wider hip. 

Being triangle in shape means you get to show off your petite arms and smaller waist! Here we have the lovely Samantha, her style is classy yet girly. In the first image we have her in a racer-back maxi which really features her upper body, perfect for running errands while still looking fabulous. In the second image we have a highlow blouse. This works so well for her because its tapered on the sides to show how slim she is up top and the longer back lays over her hips. In the final image we have a summer LBD. The high cinched waistline and flowy skirt disguise her hips making her appear smaller. We also love the lace trim detail, giving the dress length while appearing shorter. This dress is perfect for those summer date nights!

Best - maxi dresses, highlow cuts, and flowy skirts and pants

Avoid -  wideneck and oversized tops

Celebrities: Jennifer Love Hewitt, Kelly Clarkson, Leah Remini

Remember no matter your shape YOU are beautiful!
