First of all, let’s make something clear: all bodies are beautiful and there are no “wrong” dresses for any of us. What does happen is that there are silhouettes that highlight one type of curve more than others, even drawing or reducing volume at a visual level.
In the end, The important thing is that we feel comfortable and ourselves with each look. Searching for and capturing a dress that maximizes our potential, we dived through the Mango catalogue.
Narrow shoulders and prominent hips: it’s time to highlight those curves
Printed shirt dress. €29.99.
Many women have narrow shoulders, small busts and marked hips, the “pear” body of a lifetime. First, what luck, there is nothing better than good hips. Second, if you want to balance things out a bit, you can opt for a dress that fits the lower body (without being uncomfortable or “stuck”) and that manages to add volume in the upper area. A shirt collar can be a good alternative to balance.
Wide shoulders and narrow hips: necklines play in our favor
Square neckline dress. €25.99.
On the other side are the girls with marked shoulders and slightly prominent hips, traditionally known as “inverted triangle”. In this case, we can play with tight dresses that focus the eye on the neckline and cover the shoulders. For example, a square neckline is elegant and flattering.
Lined shoulders and hips, low waist: details add points
Long dress with central knot. €49.99.
The rectangular silhouette is characterized by shoulders and hips of similar proportions and a thin waist. The dresses with details in the abdominal area, such as knots or draped effectshelp create an “hourglass” effect.
Shoulders and hips in line, narrow waist: let’s accentuate it
Satin shirt dress. €39.99.
The “hourglass” that our grandmothers and mothers spoke of is defined by a body with shoulders and hips of the same width and a small waist in comparison. In this case, there is not much complication, but it is always good to highlight our narrow waist with cuts that fit in that area.
Latest guy: if we have a swollen abdominal area for some reason, vaporous dresses are top
Dress with floral frill. €29.99.
The woman’s body is a constant box of surprises. Whether it’s because we have our period, because something hasn’t felt right for us, or because of nerves: many of us tend to suffer from swelling in the abdomen area and there is nothing worse than a pair of pants digging in when we sit down or a dress being tight.
In this days, a wide dress that offers us absolute freedom is a treasure. We love this floral model in the company of cowboy boots. Another homegrown tip is this: go for a comfortable fitted dress (ribbed, for example) and add a vest or cardigan. Wow, play layering.
