Your body shape, our pieces

Finding the perfect outfit isn't just about following trends. The real secret is understanding your body shape so you can choose the cuts, fabrics, and colors that flatter your natural silhouette. But remember: it's not about fitting into a box, but about knowing your strengths and highlighting them.

A (pear-shaped): shoulders narrower than hips

Highlight your upper body: opt for colorful tops, blouses with ruffles or eye-catching details, and structured jackets that balance your silhouette.

For the bottom: opt for flowing or flared cuts, such as A-line skirts or bootcut trousers, which soften the hips and create harmony between the top and bottom. The idea is to draw attention upwards while balancing your proportions.

V (inverted triangle): shoulders wider than hips

For this type of silhouette, the goal is to balance the upper and lower body in order to create visual harmony.

Highlight your lower body: choose flared pants or skirts, straight cuts or lightweight fabrics that add volume to the hips and legs.

For the top: opt for simpler styles with straightforward cuts and neutral colors; avoid shoulder pads or overly flashy details that would accentuate the width of your shoulders. V-necks or rounded necklines can also help soften the line of your shoulders.

H (rectangle): shoulders, waist and hips aligned

For this silhouette, the goal is to create curves and define the waist to bring more femininity to your figure.

Highlight your waist: opt for belts, fitted dresses or tailored tops that emphasize your waist.

For the bottom: opt for flared skirts, high-waisted trousers or straight cuts that add volume and create the illusion of curves.

For the top: choose tops with details like ruffles, draping or prints that add dimension to your shoulders and bust, while maintaining a harmonious balance with the bottom.

X (hourglass): balanced shoulders and hips with a defined waist

For this silhouette, the goal is to highlight your naturally slim waist while maintaining harmony between the upper and lower body.

Highlight your waist: opt for fitted dresses and tops, belts or tailored clothing that accentuates your waist.

For the top: opt for V-neck or rounded necklines and fabrics that follow your shape without adding excessive volume.

For the bottom: choose skirts or trousers that are fitted or slightly flared, which flatter your hips without throwing off your silhouette. The idea is to celebrate your natural proportions rather than trying to change them.

O (round/apple): generous curves with a less defined waist

For this silhouette, the goal is to lengthen the torso, visually slim the waist and draw attention to your legs or assets.

Highlight your upper body: choose flowing yet structured tops with V-necks or U-necks to elongate your neck and torso. Open or slightly fitted jackets can create a vertical line that slims the silhouette.

For bottoms: opt for trousers or skirts that are fitted at the waist but not too tight, with straight or slightly flared cuts to balance your proportions. Fluid and lightweight fabrics also create a lengthening effect while remaining comfortable.

General tip: prints, light colors or strategic details on the bottom can draw the eye away from the middle of the body and harmonize the silhouette.
