What’s great about fashion is that every woman has the ability to dress how she wants, the ultimate idea being to be good in your clothes to be good in your sneakers. That being said, some people want to know how to dress according to their morphology. Good news: there are some very easy tips to apply to enhance your body with your clothes. This is precisely the kind of advice that Cristina Cordula, presenter of the show Shopping Queens broadcast on M6, gave us during an exclusive interview.
Journal des Femmes: Why is it important to dress according to your morphology?
Cristina Cordula: Often, when we go shopping, we pass in front of a window and we say to ourselves “This garment is super beautiful, it would go so well to others but not to me“. It’s normal: the garment in the window is not necessarily suitable for all morphologies. It can pack the silhouette, thicken it, etc. On the other hand, when it corresponds to its morphology, we immediately think: “Ah la la, it puts my cleavage, my chest, my waist in value…” Afterwards, it is important to say it and repeat it: we are free to wear the clothes we like. And if we want to be at the top of the topdressing according to your body can be a good idea.
What advice would you give to a woman with an H body shape?
It’sone of the most common morphologies in Europe. The women in H have aligned shoulders and hips and the waist is not marked, likeInes de la Fressange or Catherine Deneuve for example. What you should avoid doing with this silhouette is belt it. In fact, by emphasizing this part of the body, we draw attention to the hips, whereas it is better to bet on slender shapesskirts, pants, dresses straight.
How to dress when you have an A morphology?
The A-shaped morphologyit is that of the Latinas, like Jennifer Lopez, with shoulders smaller than the hips. Contrary to those who have an H silhouette, the A’s have an interest in opting for flared parts in order to avoid being encumbered at the level of the hips. There is a simple mnemonic device: just choose A cuts for the A morphology.
What clothes to choose when you have a morphology in 8?
This is my figure, I’m an 8! Women who have a figure of 8whether pulpy or not, can mark their waist to lengthen their look. As this morphology is all in curves and the hips are pronounced, choosing straight cuts may on the contrary pack it down. On the other hand, flared clothes will slender her and draw attention to her hourglass figure.
How to dress well when you have a V-shaped morphology?
The women in V generally have an athletic build with shoulders that are wider than their hips. If this part of their body is not the one they want to highlight, it is better that they avoid bare backs, tank tops or American necklines. Frilly, puffy sleeves, bohemian-inspired tops are also to be avoided under penalty of increasing the volume in this area. On the contrary, it is advisable to clear the chest and cover the shoulders.
On which pieces to bet when you have an O morphology?
I never talk about “morphology O“, because there is several round morphologies and therefore just as many ways to dress. A luscious figure-of-eight silhouette can for example choose flared skirts or fitted cuts. On the other hand, if she has bellyshe does not don’t mark the size and if she has developed chestIt would be better avoid the turtleneck which may thicken and weigh down this area. The round, square necklines or those that clear the neck and the carriage of the head are more suitable. If I am a A lusciousit is advisable to opt for flared cuts, to mark the waist and clear the chest. If I have a plump belly and I am an H, I prefer straight shapes. The women in V who have forms can focus on flowing clothes. And in general, you have to take into account the characteristics of your body rather than saying to yourself: “I’m round, so this type of clothes suits me“. For example, if I have a rounded belly, the fake friendit’s here gathered or draped dress. We tend to think that it hides the belly when in fact, she attracts attention on this part of the body. If I have strong ankles, the ankle boots + skirt combo is not suitable because the shoe stops at the ankle, which cuts and compacts the leg. It is more appropriate to choose pumps and clear the kick…
Which jeans to choose according to your morphology?
The trendiest jeans right now are the flare. And good news: it goes to everyone with its flared cut, especially in figure 8 and A silhouettes, especially those that are luscious. If you have a little belly or hips, the intermediate or tall sizes are ideal. H-shaped morphologies can favor the straight jeansthe mom jeans where the boyfriend jeans. Those in V have an interest in concentrating on thes straight jeans Where flared and low-rise denims. And then choose the right underwear is essential since they can maintain the belly and sublimate the silhouette. It’s your turn !
