Stripes are incredibly popular this spring and summer, BUT are you fearful this classic print might draw unwanted attention to a certain area of your body? No matter your shape, stripes can work for you.
Just Remember: Vertical stripes help create length, whereas horizontal stripes help create width.
Here are quick tips to try to make stripes work for your shape.
HOURGLASS [Curvy Figures]...
Try: a horizontal stripe to add focus to your curves [hips and bust]
PEAR [Bigger Bottom Halves and Smaller Top Halves]...
Try: a horizontal stripe top to create the illusion of a larger torso
PETITE [Shorter]...
Try: a vertical thin stripe to elongate your figure
APPLE [Larger Midsection]...
Try: a vertical or diagonal stripes
RECTANGLE [Straight Up and Down]...
Try: a horizontal wide stripe to create the illusion of curves
Needless to say... I'm average height with a small chest and I LOVE them all! Wear whatever makes you feel good!!
Have Fun with Your Clothes, My Friends!!!
