8 Tips to find the perfect party dress for your silhouette

It is common for women to spend hours in front of the closet or inside a store looking for the perfect dress for a special occasion. Finding the piece that enhances your figure can be very difficult if you don’t know your body well.

But no need to worry! O awesome.club gathered 8 types of silhouettes and discovered the strengths of each one, essential for choosing the right dress.

An oval or apple-shaped body has a fuller upper body (your bust is larger than your hips and waist). Among the famous with this type of silhouette are Drew Barrymore, Angelina Jolie and Tyra Banks. If you want to impress everyone at a party, choose dresses with an empire cut to define your waist more. The following styles are also perfect:

Loose dress Wrap dress Draped dress Trapeze dress Babydoll dress Skater dress A-line dress Empire or high-waisted dress

If your shoulders are wider than your hips and waist, your silhouette is an inverted triangle shape. Many models and actresses display this body type, such as Renee Zellweger, Demi Moore, and Naomi Campbell. There are many types of dresses that you can wear, but prefer ones with a V-neck, strapless or one-shoulder.

Renee’s body looks prettier in strapless dress on the right than on the left.

The hourglass silhouette is considered one of the most beautiful: full bust and hips adorned with a slim waist. Marilyn Monroe, Blake Lively, Scarlett Johansson and Dita von Teese are some of the famous with bodies like this. These lucky ones can wear just about any outfit, but they look even prettier with fitted dresses, pencil dresses, belted dresses, round necklines, mermaid dresses and A-line dresses.

See how Dita chose to use a pencil dress slightly below the knees.

The banana silhouette tends to be lean and long, with little volume in the hips and breasts.

Celebrities with banana bodies are Jennifer Garner and Anne Hathaway. They can wear any type of dress, but the ones that most value their silhouettes are:

A-style dresses Pencil-style dress Empire-style dress Strong blocks of color to help define the body

Notice how Anne Hathaway’s silhouette looks more feminine in a dress with strong blocks of color (in the image on the right)🇧🇷

If your hips are more voluminous than your waist and bust, it’s because you have a beautiful pear silhouette. Many celebrities have the same body type as you, like Kim Kardashian, Shakira and Jennifer Lopez. Your goal should be to get your upper body to coincide with your hips. So prefer:

Ruffled off-the-shoulder dresses Subtle shoulder pads Tulip skirt dresses

See Kim Kardashian’s photo on the right. she chose one dress with tulip skirt and it turned out beautiful!

The rectangular body, also known as the “sporty” silhouette, is considered one of the most beautiful and desired in the world. Most dresses look beautiful on bodies like this, but for an even better effect, it’s good to bet on those that define the waist. Like this:

Round neck dresses Sweetheart necklines Pencil dresses with side opening Fitted dresses

Among the celebrities with this type of silhouette are Natalie Portman, Kate Hudson, Keira Knightley and Cameron Diaz. Cameron rocked using the red mini dress with plunging neckline from the photo on the right.

The spoon-shaped body is a little different from the pear silhouette, with a more defined line at the upper hip. Cheryl Burke, Beyoncé and America Ferrera are among the famous with silhouettes of this type.

In such cases, the best options are pencil dresses with a more voluminous upper part. Beyoncé’s silhouette is more balanced in the black pencil dress with high shoulders, pictured on the right.

Generally, a diamond-shaped body has more waist and hips than shoulders and breasts. Therefore, the goal should be to provide greater harmony by choosing a dress with a belt to accentuate the waist. One-shoulder or V-neck dresses are also great.

Examples of famous celebrities with diamond silhouettes are Kate Winslet and Queen Latifah. Kate did well to choose a thin single strap dress, as we can see in the image on the right.
