Clothing and Posture

 

Many models spend so long worrying about their makeup that they forget that presentation is one of the most important aspects of beauty. You don't always have to be the most beautiful girl in the crowd, but if you carry yourself well and dress to suit your body type, chances are you'll be the one that everyone notices.

Clothing and posture are two more ways in which you can make the most of what you have. Take a good look at the actresses in the entertainment pages of your magazines. Not all of them are classically beautiful, but they all have a presence about them, a quality that comes from the way they dress and the way they hold themselves tall, upright and elegant.

Dress for your Body Type

Here's a list of typical body complaints, together with the clothing tips that can hide them from view. Sometimes you should make the most of your assets, sometimes you should hide them away, but you should always have the confidence to step outside and feel beautiful!

Larger Bodies

Always bet on black. Darker clothing reduces the appearance of folds and bumps in the fabric, and has a wonderfully slimming effect on your body. Those of you with larger physiques should avoid tight clothing and definitely steer clear of loud prints.

Try to always wear properly fitted clothing. Loose, baggy tops and pants just draw attention to your worst angles. Wear fitted shirts with vertical stripes to show off your curves the right way!

Small Bust

A padded bra is not the only way to give yourself a fuller bust. Try wearing fitted shirts with features like pockets or other details at the bustline. Make sure the neckline is not too low though. Another good tip? Layer up. By wearing a tanktop under your shirt you will make your bust appear much fuller.

Large Bust

Again, your bra is very important. By wearing one that is too small, you bring attention to your large breasts, rather than making them appear smaller. As for clothing, steer clear of tight-fitting tops and shirts with loud prints. Longer sleeves and a high neckline will take attention away from your chest and on to your arms and face.

Large Hips
If you're a little wide around the middle then don't worry, there are plenty of things you can do too. Wearing tight fitting trousers will only accentuate the difference in width between your hips and your legs, so use a bootcut leg that drops straight down from your hips.

Buy pants without pockets or details around the hipline. Pleats are your absolute worst enemy. As for colors, make sure never to buy patterns - instead stick to dark, solid colors on the bottom, with perhaps some lighter colors or small patterns on your shirt.

 

Short Bodies

 

A short shirt can make your legs appear longer, while wearing similar colors across your outfit will eliminate the color boundaries that can make you appear shorter. Avoid overly detailed patterns and be sure to buy well fitted clothes. If you're drowning in your outfit it just makes you look smaller.

Tall Bodies

 

Exactly opposite to shorter women! If you're tall then you should use horizontal stripes, plus sharp color boundaries between your top and bottom to make you appear more petite. Long shirts and knee-high boots will shrink your legs too.
