THE ULTIMATE STYLE GUIDE ACCORDING TO YOUR BODY SHAPE Nobody has a perfect body, everyone complains, but we can help you to look exceptional and wonderful. We know that trends always change and dressing well can be a challenge, but you just have to take note of our tips and all the people that you know will be jealous of your fabulous style. Here are your tips:

TRIANGLE BODY SHAPE: Your best features are shapely legs, a svelte and graceful waist and attractive hips. A common mistake: tiny tops or crop tops. This throw up your body’s balance, making your bottom look extremely big. Watch out! For the top part think about layers. To create balance to your body is about to dress up your upper half. For winter you can use cropped jackets that stop at the waist. You

can always show off some skin, don’t worry, three-quarter sleeves, wide scoop necks, and one-shoulder tops will look AWESOME in your shape. For the bottom part boot-cut pants are the answer, even if you don’t like it, you will look great. Go for dark, medium-rise jeans with simple stitching and pockets in the back. For skirts and dresses try A-line cut that hide your curves and highlights your svelte waist.

CIRCLE BODY SHAPE: The best features for this body shape: delicate legs, modest shoulders and a trim bottom that gives a graceful attraction. A common mistake: covering up everything. Don’t do it. It’s fine to show off some skin, the neckline, forearms and a little leg, not only to look elegant and classy, also to feel younger, leaner and tall. For the top, try to add structure, like a blazer or cowl necks and flutter sleeves that will make a flourish feminine For the bottom, show your legs off! Why to be afraid? Take the risk. A slim, straight leg or boot cut jeans are wonderful. Wear heels. Why not? It will take off some weight. To wear dresses preferable with knit, to hide the tummy, creating an hourglass effect.


HOURGLASS BODY SHAPE: The best features: a delicate waist and curvy hips that makes you attractive. A common mistake: attract the attention to the hips. You already had a natural allure, try to not tempt to give more attention there. For the top, what you only have to do is to be simple, that’s the key. Use more often scoop neckline, simple tops and three-quarter sleeves. Don’t use layering. Use waist belts to define your tummy. For the bottom, use skinny jeans or bootleg pants. You will look better in skirts that stops or below the knee. Not too fitted the pants or skirts, keep your natural curves.

RULER BODY SHAPE: The best features: you are skinny and, sometimes athletic. You are easier to dress. A common mistake: being simple and fitted cuts. This will make you look like a child. Use not too tightly clothing and not too slack, this will create you curves. On the top, avoid using straight lines. Use boatnecks and shirts with no sleeves. Use belts on the waist to create softs curves .The same goes for jackets and blazers: soft shoulders, cropped jackets. For the bottom, high-waist pants. Will add curves and volume to your lower body and that’s our goal. For dresses, a wrap one will be perfect.



Less is more: Closet basics. Trends come and go, but basics are forever.

Plain white T-shirt. Wearing a plain white t-shirt can make your outfit look classic and comfortable without being flat or lifeless. A V-neck style is a perfect canvas for layering necklaces, and a crew neck style combined with jeans, gold accessories or a hat will give you a fresh, flawless look.

Skinny jeans. Jeans are always the best answer to the big question, “What am I supposed to wear today?� They fit with almost everything. Go for a slightly high-raised style to give the illusion of longer and slim legs.


Jean Jacket. This goes and fits with everything. You can match it with dresses or shorts, even skirts. If you want a casual look, go for a lighter wash, but if you want to be formal, then always go for a darker wash.

Leather Jacket. A black leather jacket never goes oldfashioned, and you might never need to buy another one. Wear it with a plain t-shirt and boots for an edgy look.

Ankle boots. Choose a black or brown pair, both are really versatile. If your legs and ankles are thin go for a low, medium or a high cut. If your legs are thicker just go for the medium height. Wear them with rolled up jeans.


Flats. Everyone needs a break from their heels. Flats are comfortable, you can wear them with formal or informal outfits and if you pick the right color, it will look really attractive to the sight. Also there are a lot of different types, round or pointed, just pick the ones that suit better to your style. It depends on you.

Shorts. Shorts aren’t only for spending a day on the beach, you can wear them anywhere! They can be denim or black, wearing a great pair of shorts will give you a fresh look.

Canvas sneakers. They can be used with almost any informal outfit. A stylish pair of sneakers are the perfect weekend shoes. Wear them with jeans or even a cute floral skirt!



Be the best version of you: Body confidence Fashion is not only about clothing, it is also about attitude! If you like it, wear it! You are beautiful for who you are, no matter your size, your weight or your skin color. Our bodies are different to each other´s.

Change your inner dialogue We all talk to ourselves! Instead of thinking “Oh God! I look awful today!” you can look for positive aspects about yourself, things like “Oh, my hair looks really nice today”, “I really like how this skirt fits me” And the most important, YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE IT! Instead of complaining about the fact that your tights are thicker than you would like them to be, be thankful that those thighs help carry you through life.

Give yourself a reality check Most of the people try to emulate celebrities, how they look or the clothes they wear, remember, celebrities have glam squads that make them to look

extremely perfect. Their “natural look”consist on tons of makeup and their barbie doll bodies are not more than hours of gym and extreme diets. You don't need to have that 90 60 90 to rock that little black dress!

Look good, feel good Feeling good is so much more than have an incredible hair or a stunning body. The effort that you give to look great, makes us feel good internally, thus boosting self-esteem and confidence. You don´t have to starve yourself, just a little of exercise will make a difference! Keep calm, go grab a pizza slice!

Smile more If you catch someone staring at you because the way you look, don´t put your head down, just smile at them! Smiling with confidence will help you to feel better about yourself.
