Basic Female Body Shapes, Part I: Hourglass

HOURGLASS

Hello hallo beautiful woman,

Here we are on doitwithyourstyle. I am going to introduce you to the 5 basic female body shapes and the Hourglass is the first one. 

In Brazil we also call this shape "violao" (guitar) and it is a synonym for the perfect female body: same proportions of shoulders and hips with a thin/well-defined waist. It's all about feminine curves.

Let us see here some celebrities with an Hourglass shape:

Marilyn Monroe: sex-symbol

Halle Berry: I wish I had HER body!

Salma Hayek: wow!

Oprah Winfrey: Full Hourglass

If you have an Hourglass shape, you should be very proud of your curves. Don't hide them: show them! 

With these outfits you'll surely get all eyes on you...

Billion dollar baby dress: dare to wear it

So stylish!

No curves, no such dresses, sorry...

Simply elegant

Definitely pencil skirts

Low-waisted Bootcut jeans

Skinny jeans

Pants with slightly flared legs

Beautiful dresses for the full Hourglass figure

The Hourglass figure is probably the dream figure every woman. Well, at least mine... Sometimes while on the treadmill at the gym I quickly close my eyes and imagine myself in bikini walking on the beach or watching myself in lingerie in front of the mirror WITH a body like this:

I'm working out like crazy for a body like this!!!

The perfect bikinis for your head-turning body

And now, ladies and ...girls, the lucky ones with the nature-blessed Hourglass body shape, much attention now. Das ist ein absolute nicht go for your beautiful figure:

Square jacket: NO!

Loose shirt with pockets: NO!

Military pants: NO!

Dress with no waist-definition: NO!

Summarizing: 

YEAH pieces - Tailored shirts, suits and dresses that define the waist / Wrap-over tops and dresses / Pencil skirts / Bootcut jeans

NO pieces - Everything that disguises your wonderful features: Masculine or boxy pants / Full pleated skirts

So, my dear, raise your chin, walk up straight and be proud of your curves! ;0)

Next time I'm introducing you to the Inverted Triangle body shape. Until then, don't forget: No matter what you do, do it with style. YOUR style. Stay tuned.
