The five main categories to define your shape are Strawberry, Apple, Pear, Hourglass and Slender.

#Strawberry:
Having a fuller bust means that adding more shape and volume below the waist can add proportion.  Flares or wide legged trousers/ jeans are great on Strawberries.  Tops with a fluid shape highlighting the waist are so flattering.

#Apple:
Having amazing legs and curvy bust are a great trait of Apples.  To show off those flattering legs, knee or calf length skirts are great.  Tops with a V neckline and hip length are perfect.

#Pear:
Curvier around the hips means adding more shape above the waist can complement proportion.  Waisted skirts and flared jeans are so flattering.  Pattern tops and layering is great for Pear shapes.

#Hourglass:
Having a well-defined waist with a proportioned bust and bottom.  Skinny, as well as boot cut, and flare jeans are great to balance the hips.  V necks and square neck tops are so flattering.

#Slender:
Having gentle curves, but straight up and down, she is most in proportion.  Skinny and Slim fit jeans were made for the slender figure.  Round necks and high necks tops are so flattering.  Balancing your figure to accentuate your assets will give you the confidence to face the world.  You are beautiful, and you can set your own style.  If you feel amazing inside, it will come through on the outside.
