Go and flatter yourself....!!!

Hey everyone its Harj. As promised, this blog will help everyone determine what to wear, what’s hot this season, and how to make sure your body is shown off in the right way.


Finding clothes to fit into and look decent in is hard to do (regardless of what size you are). You could be the skinniest girl alive or one with curves in all the right places and still wear clothes that don’t necessarily flatter your body. The key is to know what body type you are. Once you have determined this, finding clothes to show you off in the right way will not be a problem.

Most people are aware of 2 different body types: Apple and Pear. But did you know that there are actually 12 different types???!!!

  1. APPLE: As the name suggests, your body type is round if you are apple shaped. It usually involves a thick waist and bosom. It is not easy to dress and people assume that the key to being a sexy apple is covering up in layers….wrong! Show off your cleavage using low cut tops and avoid round necks. V neck tops are most flattering. When choosing a jacket, make sure it is fitted, so that it shows off the curve made by your assets! When wearing skirts, make sure that it is fastened at the side and are flat fronted (this will not add any extra bulk to the belly thus make you look slimmer). Apple shaped girls have been known to have beautifully sculpted calves and ankles…a small heel (wedge if you prefer) will show this off. As much as we love jeans ladies…traditional jeans will not flatter you. If you must, tailored wide legged jeans are best. Or even better – denim trousers!
  2. PEAR: Alln my lovely pear shaped ladies, you will know that the centre of your problems lie with thick thighs, saddlebags and ankles which you think look awful! You don’t have to be big to be a pear shape. Pear shaped thin girls can also be found. All it means is that your behind is bigger than any part of your body. Nevertheless ladies – you have it going on upstairs! Your bosom may not directly be big but that slim waist is gonna draw attention to it no matter what. Show off your arms girl, coz they are beautiful! Avoid side pockets on your clothes. When it comes to jackets/cardigans, adding a belt will help draw attention to your slim waist and make you look sizzling! I know you may hate your calves and ankles…so if you feel like that, boots are the best to wear. Not only will they cover up your enemies, but they are also in style.
  3. HOUR GLASS: You are definitely made for the guys, but does that mean that you are made for clothes? Hell yea! However, with big bosoms and a short waist you may often feel that you look pregnant. The key to looking sexy is to wear fitted clothes that stretch your torso. Avoid clothes too big for you and show off those lovely curves. Pencil skirts and v neck tops are the must!!! Avoid stilettos – stick to round or peep toe shoes.
  4. BRICK: From behind, you have a masculine shape – a flat behind, no waist, straight up and down legs and broad shoulders. A lot of women would assume that this means wearing masculine clothes is the answer – wrong again!  You can be a brick and still look awesome and feminine. Did you know that Kim Cattrall is a brick shape?? Who would have guessed hey! The key to finding the right clothes is to look for clothes that will give you curves. Asymmetric pleats on a skirt are great because they will lift up your behind and give you that peachy bottom. When deciding on shoe shapes, round toed are best. Choose tops with detail on the neckline – this will show off the roundness of your neck and make you look more feminine.
  5. SKITTLE: often confused with pear, for having the thin long upper body. Whilst pears have the saddle bag and the big behind, skittles start to widen at their thighs. Vertical patters on your bottoms/skirt are a great way to make your thighs look slimmer. If you are short, you want a big heel – chunky is best!
  6. VASE: Take the hourglass shape and stretch it – voila! Wide scooped necklines are the thing to go for. It will balance out your chest with the remainder of your body. Your narrowest area e.g. waist can be highlighted by a single button jacket/cardigan or a belt.
  7. CORNET: Cornet shaped girls are triangular and athletic built. A draping dress is ideal to create the curves you need in the right places. Skinny jeans will show off your assets in the right way so make them your best friend!
  8. COLUMN: This is for all your tall girls! It is hard for you girls to find clothes that are the right length for you. However, once you know what shops to hit…say bye bye short clothes! Plenty of pleating is the key. The more material on a dress, the better. Chiffon dresses will make even the tallest girls look feminine. When choosing heels, go for shorter heels, that balance you out well.
  9. LOLLIPOP: This is for you tall girls with big bosoms. You have narrow shoulders but endless legs! Most actresses are lollipops – did you know that? Plenty of material in a dress is going to make you look curvier and draw the attention to your slim waist. Bell bottom trousers balance out your bosom and make you look less top heavy. Pick slim heeled shoes to show off your slim legs.
  10. BELL: This mainly affects short women. Your lower half is a lot larger than your upper half. The trick is to make your upper body look broader. Create broad shoulders using shoulder pads. When choosing coats and jackets, go for funnel shaped ones. A lot of women have trouble when it comes to summer. People believe that they don’t have the beach body. Not a problem my lovelies….a nice thigh slimming caftan will not only cover your body to a degree that makes you feel comfortable, but it will also make you look sexy in the sun!
  11. CELLO: If you are a Cello, you are a whole load of woman! With big bosoms, broad shoulders and a backside with matching hips….you are the proof for “big is beautiful” Once again, you feel as though covering up is the thing to do but listen up my foxy ladies…there are clothes that will make you look bootilicious!!! Go for wide V neck tops that will show off your cleavage. If you have it – flaunt it girl!  Maxi dresses will make you look taller and slimmer. Boots and round toe/peep toe heels are the best for you.
GOBLET: Heavy and square on top but lean and slender at the bottom. Deep wide V necks will half the area of your chest. A skirt which is fitted at the top will stabilise your bottom half and balance you out. Rock your court shoes sister!!!

Hey lovelies, it's Dee. As Harjit already stated, there are plenty of body types and it's up to you now to find the right one for you.

My little job was to find the right clothes that can make you feel comfortable and sexy. Whether it's to go out at night, or just walk down the road to go to a shop. It's all about having the right balance in whatever outfit you choose to wear for the occasion.

This top for example can be paired with some fitted trouser, denims, or skinny jeans. That way you don't look like you have some sort of potato sack on.

If you would like to show of your bosom, pair with a pretty waistbelt. That way it shows more curves as well, such as a slimmer waist, bigger bosom and hips. Cause hips dont lie ;) 






OH MY GOD! A Maxi Dress is a MUST in every girls wardrobe. They suit any body shape!

It can be worn during the day while you go shopping, or in the evening while you're out for a nice dinner.  






If it's cold make sure that you wear fitted jackets. Or one that has a belt around the waist, and tighten it. That shows off your figure, because it will make sure that you get an instant hour glass figure. Nicely fitted blazers are another MUST HAVE for any girl.








HIGH HEELS! I cannot mention it enough. High heels are so sexy and look so fabulous. They work your butt in your favour, and any girl can wear them. If you wear it with a maxi dress, it makes you look slimmer and taller. I'm quite short, but I surely love my heels.
If you are not confident walking in it, buy yourself a pair and walk around the house with it. Get used to it and then you can start strutting your stuff out in public. Nothing is sexier than a confident girl/woman walking down the road.


Little tip is to buy platform heels, they are way more comforable than other ones. Also, sometimes girls find it easier to walk in wedges. So either way, try and find heels that you are comfortable wearing.





V-Necks are important as Harjit already stated. They show of your cleavage and make you look slimmer as well. Not like you need to look slimmer, but do flaunt your bosom. It also stretches your torso, which makes you look taller as well.








Cardigans are a nice way to stay warm and paired with a skinny waistbelt, it gives you a slimmer silhouette. Also if its longer, it tends to make you look taller. Especially with nice skinny jeans and high heels.










Well there you go lovely ladies, hope these tips help. Now hit the shops or raid your wardrobes and find the clothes that make you feel confident and sexy. It's time to strutt your stuff and look fabulous doing it!

Much Love, Peace and Awesomeness

Wow, that would of been really helpful.. but Im still kinda stuck on what kind of body type I have.
Im biggest around my stomach/ hips and then my breasts are a little smaller than my tummy, and my thighs are smaller than they should be, creating a 'natural muffin top' and my legs are kinda thin, for my weight. If any of that makes any sense to you, could you help me out?
Loving the blog :]

Dear Melvin, sorry for the late reply.

Of course we can help. Your body type sounds like a mix between apple and skittle.

My recommendation to you would be focus on making your stomach look smaller and your boobs look bigger. Using belts under your boobs is going to make them look soooo much bigger and is also going to highlight the slimmest part of you. Avoid clothes that focus detail on the stomach region. Instead, choose tops that have detail on the neck line. When picking out a top, avoid round neck tops and go for V necks. When choosing a skirt, pick one that has a side fastening rather than a front fastening. This will avoid and extra bulk in your stomach area. And of course, wherever possible, a sexy pair of shoes is going to make any outfit look great. Hope this helps :) HDcandy xXx
