Quick Fashion Tips for All Sizes

April 24, 2008

skirtshoesI was reading Seventeen Magazine, and I found some helpful style tips for teens to dress all body types that I thought I should share.

For petite girls, a minidress is a must-have. Get a short dress in a solid color. Whatever you do, stay away from cropped pants. You’ll have luck shopping at stores such as American Eagle. To add a little flare, get dangly earrings because they frame your neck by making it look longer and more graceful.

For a full bust body, sport a v-neck t-shirt. Avoid ruffled tops because they’ll make you look top-heavy. You’ll have luck shopping at department stores such as JCPenny’s. Test out what you’re buying by trying it on and sticking out your arms. Twist to make sure the fit isn’t not too snug. Wear a detailed belt under your bust to make the look pop.

For curvy hips, an a-line skirt will highlight your waist. Avoid short shorts and make sure your pants don’t pull across your hips and cause horizontal ridges. Stop by stores such as Express when you shop, and add bold necklaces to bring the focus up to your lovely face.

A wardrobe essential for plus sizes is a cinched top. Add a sash to bring in your waist and create an hourglass figure. Avoid long dresses because they’ll break up your bottom half and make you look stumpy. You’ll score some great finds at stores such as Torrid, and check out www.bandlu.com and www.fashionoverdose.com as well.

Tall girls can rock colored jeans because they’ll draw attention to your long legs. Stop by shops such as The Buckle for some great finds, but avoid drop waist tops because they’ll shorten your legs and make your torso look lanky. Take a long pair of heels when you shop for pants because it’s the only way to see if the pants will work with your shoes. Add bright flats to the look to draw attention to your legs without making yo look taller.
