The blazing summer heat demands you to dress up in a certain way. People go for light-coloured outfits, chic dresses and basically, comfortable clothes in this season. However, no one wants to compromise on style. Looking for outfits that are stylish and yet make you feel comfortable in the summer can be a task. What can help is knowing your body type and then, selecting OOTDs can help you decide on the best outfits for yourself.
1. Apple Body Type
This resembles a figure with a larger midsection and narrower hips and legs. Generally, people who fall into this category have a heavier upper body as compared to the lower. The broad shoulders and bigger bust line make one feel like the weight has been gathered around the midriff. The whole focus should be on taking the attention away from that part of your body. You can go for chic summer dresses that help you show off your legs. You can also wear mini skirts or long skirts to draw attention to the entire body instead of just one part.
2. Hourglass Body Type
In this case, your lower body is wider than your upper body. People who have hourglass figures usually have smaller busts and waists with fuller hips, thighs, and buttocks. How can you balance it? Go for wide-legged pants that can help you create a more balanced look. For the style quotient, go for tops with embellishment or ruffles at the neckline that take away the attention from your lower body. Now that we are discussing the summer season, you can also go for comfortable A-line skirts with a larger flare at the bottom.
3. Pear Body Type
Generally individuals with pear-shaped bodies have wider hips, narrow shoulders and bust areas. The trick is to add more volume to the upper half of the body. You can either go for a strapless top or a one-strap dress. T-shirt dresses also look good on this kind of body type.
4. Rectangle Body Type
This is a figure with a less curvy silhouette with flat dimensioned sides. The best thing you can do here is to create the illusion of curves with OOTDs. You can go for dresses that cinch at the waist. Opting for dresses or tops that are fitted at the waist and then, flare out at the hips could be a great option like peplum tops. Avoid baggy clothes as it doesn't give shape to the body.
