To avoid this pitfall, we have provided life changing tips on how best to identify your body shape and choose the most suitable outfit. After every woman is gorgeous and beautiful in her right, provided you wear that which is exactly for you.

Petite women
Petite women need to keep clothes in line, slim narrow belts. A slight contrast in colours and fitted lines will flatter you endlessly. Also, stay with fabrics that are soft and flowing that fit well.
Over powering prints should be avoided.

Tall women
Tall women can indulge in wide belts. Avoid tight clothes and skirts that are to short or too long. Beauty experts recommend tall women play down their waist by wearing their blouses over the pants and skirts and avoid tight belts.

Rectangular type woman
The rectangular type can accentuate curves by wearing jackets or tops that hug the waist, feminine thick sweaters over skirts or pants. Use patterns in your tops or bottoms to add dimension. Round out the neckline with necklaces, scarves and other accessories, and use shoulder pads.
