Your Body Type

If you want to emphasize a certain part of your body while playing down other parts you can use fashion to do all these things. If you are heavier on the bottom then choose something with no shoulder pads as this will balance out your top and bottom.
You can also wear dark tights or stockings and try vertical patterns as well as vertical lines as a way to give the illusion of have a balanced body. Also you can try long tops that end below you hips as a way to cover that area and give a longer look. If you choose prints, they should only be worn on the top.
If you have the not so curvy shape the use patterns to add dimension. Loose hanging clothing with floral patterns will draw attention to your face especially if you wear earrings or scarves that are colorful also. For those with that hourglass figure, can use belts to their benefit and V-neck clothing for showing some of that cleavage. You have curves worth highlighting so flaunt it if you car comfortable doing so and also try loosely draping fabrics with that hourglass shape of yours.
