Oval
OvalThe Oval Body Shape is characterized by a larger midsection and a rounded silhouette, where the waist measurement is larger than the hip and bust measurements. People with an Oval Body Shape often have a fuller bust, narrow hips, and a flat bottom. The arms and legs are usually proportionate to the body, and the shoulders are broad. This body shape is also known as the apple shape.When dressing an Oval Body Shape, it's important to create a balance between the upper and lower body. Styles that draw attention to the bust and shoulders, such as scoop necks, boat necks, and off-the-shoulder tops, can be flattering. A-line skirts and dresses that flare out from the waistline can help create the illusion of a more defined waist. High-waisted pants and skirts can also be a great option as they help elongate the legs and create a more proportionate look.It's also important to avoid styles that add bulk to the midsection, such as oversized tops and high-waisted pants that have a lot of fabric around the waistband. Instead, opt for more fitted styles that highlight your curves without adding extra volume.Remember, every body shape is beautiful, and there are countless ways to dress to feel confident and stylish. With the right clothing and styling, anyone can feel their best, regardless of their body shape.------------------------------------------------------------------------Hi, I'm Beth with MyPetiteStylePersonal Stylist and Coach for Petite women over 55!I have always been a fashionista, and fashion and style have always been easy for me!
