Do You Know How To Rock Stripes As Per Your Body Type?

Wear them vertical, horizontal or diagonal, stripes are one fashion statement that are here to stay. But to do this style justice, you need to wear stripes as per your body shape. While you can choose to wear any pattern of stripe, there are just some styles that look better on your body shape as opposed to others. Stripes are not just a style, they are also about creating illusions that can make you look more or less curvaceous, top or bottom heavy and slim or chubby. When it comes to fashion, our very own Bollywood divas continue to set new standards but they also know how to rock the styles right. Whether it is Katrina Kaif, Sonakshi Sinha or Priyanka Chopra, these beautiful ladies have different body shapes and express their loves for striped fashion by wearing them to flatter it. Read on to find out how you can do it too!

Apple Shape

Having an apple shaped body means having a larger bust area and midsection which may or may not look good depending on what you wear. Enter vertical and diagonal stripes that totally change the game for ladies having an apple-shaped body. Try experimenting with co-ords, dresses and top with striped pants to create an illusion of a curvaceous body.

Pear Shape

People with bigger bottom halves and narrower shoulders have what is called a pear shape, resembling the fruit. Ladies with this body shape should try wearing tops with horizontal stripes to create the illusion of a bigger upper body. These tops can be paired with trousers or skirts in solid neutral colours to take away the attention from the heavier lower part of the body.

Rectangle Shape

Women with straight shape from top to bottom will do well to wear horizontal stripes with varying width to look amazing. For a curvier look, they should opt for larger stripes that can create the illusion. Since the straight body shape doesn’t have weight in a any particular area so large stripes create a curvier look. Try wearing a dress or co-ords with such stripes to look fabulous.

Hourglass Shape

Girls with hourglass figures are blessed for sure because they can mostly flaunt any kind of dress or pattern. But to accentuate those curves, stripes can be put to some very good use. Wearing horizontal stripes can put the attention on the bust and hip area, making you look more glamorous than simply wearing vertical stripes that create a straight body line.

Petite Shape

What do petite women want? Well, mostly to look pretty and a bit tall, at times. Petite women should go for vertical and thin stripes without a doubt to look taller and give their figure a more elongated look.
