Taking Cue From The Bollywood Actresses Here's What You Should And Should Not Wear According To Body Type

Our body shape is an essential criteria in defining what clothes should we wear. Although we need to keep a lot of factors in mind before we dress up, but our body shape and size is the biggest determinant of our clothes. All the body shapes come out of four basic shapes being- Hourglass, Pear, Apple, Banana.

Hourglass refers to the most proportionate curves, exactly similar to the shape of an hour glass with proportionate shoulders and thighs. Yami Gautum has an hour glassed body. The best part of having this body shape is being blessed with proportionate curves. Hourglass figures should not hide their curves, even if they have broad bodies and flaunt their tiny waists. People with hour glass figure should not wear fluffy dresses as it makes them looks fat and does not accentuate the waist. A pencil fit dress with a belt on the waist to highlight it further is the best dress for a hourglass shaped person, just like Yami in this blue and black pencil dress.

 Apple shaped body type is the one with broad shoulder and lean thighs. The best example in Bollywood of an apple shaped body type is Sonakshi Sinha. Since apple shaped people have broad shoulders, these people should avoid shoulder revealing dresses, just like this deep “V” neck and flairy arms makes the shoulders look even broader. This body shape is most suitable for Indian outfits, the only reason why Sonakshi looks the prettiest in ethnic. And this lhenga sported by Sonakshi Sinha is an amazing example for apple shaped bodies. A round closed neck crop top and a flowy lhenga makes the body looks proportionate and elegant.

Pear shaped bodies are the opposite of what apple shape is. Pear shape refers to leaner shoulders and heavier bottom. Katrina Kaif has a pear shaped body. Katrina is wearing a croptop with a pair of high waisted pants which seems to be a perfect outfit for her body type. While flaunting their mid-rifs pear shaped people to keep in mind that they should not prefer wearing a low waist lower. This red and gold lhenga sported by Katrina is a big no no for pear shaped people, as the waist line is very low and low cut on the choli makes the lower body looks even broader.

Jacqulene Fernandez is the perfect example of banana or rectangular shaped body. A rectangular shaped body refers to a body type which has no curves and is a stick figured shape. Although Jacqulene looks really elegant in this white dress but middle cut dresses are definitely a no for banana shapes as they make them look more stick like and hide the little curves they have. All the banana shaped people should focus on wearing clothes that accentuates their curves like jump suits and fitted maxi dresses. Also lighter the color, more in shape the body looks like.
