This Season's Fashion For your Body type

Body Types can be difficult. Trendy fashions really accentuate tall girls that are skin and bones. Oversized shirts on girls with a big chest really don't work, they just make you look heavy. However, with a little bit of creativity and understanding which part of your body to focus on, you can pull almost anything off!

You can always find those random style guides in magazines that tell you here and there how to work your body type, but my secret is to find a trendy celebrity with your same body type and style-watch her! For example, I style-watch Blake Lively; she is about the same height as me, and we both have a tush, thighs, and some really long legs. Our torsos are on the shorter side and we definitely aren't...overly endowed in the chest area. Magazines are constantly catching that girl in James Jeans and they look perfect on her. So, instead of spending hours in a dressing room at Barney's, trying on every jean in the store to see what works best, I already know because either Blake or her stylist did the work for me - It's genius.

Let's say your 5'1 and EVERYTHING is tiny. Style-watch the Olsen twins - probably more Ashley then Mary-Kate (I can appreciate her rocking the homeless look because we all know she's a billionaire). When you are that small you want to wear more mature things so people don't think your a little girl. Stay away from stores like Holister and Abercrombie and find your way to Urban Outfitters or Bloomingdales. Oversized t-shirts, boyfriend blazers, mini-skirts, skinny jeans - pretty much everything that is trendy you can rock. The exact same goes for 5'10 and tiny... the world really is your oyster.
The hourglass girl: God blessed you with the most feminine figure, I don't know if fashion is jealous of you and they are just being vindictive but you have to watch what you wear when it comes to trendy clothing. All of these oversized trends really don't work for you because they are not acccentuating your waist and that's the key to pulling off your look. This fall, designers are paying attention to the female form again and designing clothes that are reminiscent of the 1950's women. The skirts are long and full, accentuating the waist. This is an incredibly flirty look and also very classy. These types of skirts can be played casually by weaingr a tight little v-neck tee. When it comes to pants and jeans, absolutely stick with skinnys! This really brings out the hour glass. If you are on the shorter side stick with a heel when wearing them. The key to your body style is to stay away from oversized and style-watch Scarlett Johansson - she is 5'4 and the queen of beautiful hourglass shapes, she'll show you the way!





For all you curvy chicas out there, follow Miss Jennifer Hudson. She's awesome, and rocks her figure better than anyone in Hollywood! You might be scared to pull out the skinny jean, but don't be! It looks great on her, coupled with a cute pair of heels, and a flowy blouse that lets your 'girls' shine, you will be knockout gorgeous!
