Rocking the hourglass
because it was so envied (and a true hourglass is relatively rare as well). Fortunately for us, these days society recognises all body shapes as equally beautiful. Dressing this figure can be as simple or as complicated as you wish, when it comes down to it. If you’re more self-conscious about your womanly curves, an A-line or shift dress looks amazing. Many shift-style dresses come with a tie or thin belt for around the waist, so you can choose whether or not to wear it on any particular day. Speaking of which, belts are a girls’ best friend when you have curves like this. For the hourglass, the waist is often the most defined feature, so a belt worn around the middle will draw attention to it. This is one of the reasons a fit-and-flare dress can work well; or any dress with a defined waist and flowing skirt, for that matter. These dresses will bring attention to your bust and waist where the cloth is fitted, and accentuate your hips with the flowy skirt. A similar principle goes for pants, particularly jeans: the higher waisted, the better. Pair with a form-fitting shirt, or tuck a flowy shirt into the waistband for the best look.
