WHAT BODY TYPE CAN WEAR A MAXI DRESS

 We all love ourselves a stunning dress. The notion exists that short girls shouldn't wear dresses because it doesn't suit them. Fortunately, we are living at a time when anyone can wear anything. Just like that, there is no rule around who can wear a maxi dress and who cannot. Many different body types exist, and certain dresses would look better than the others. With that, what are the main body types?

1. Rectangle shape

Also known as the ruler body type, it is characterized by equal bust, hip and waist measurements. The weight of this body type is evenly distributed throughout their body.

2. Pear/ Triangle shape

This body shape is characterized by the hip area being wider than the bust and the upper body. They have a well-defined waist, and their body weight is evenly distributed. They have softly toned shoulders that are slim.

3. Hourglass shape

Self-explanatory, hourglass shape is defined by the hip and the bust measurements being proportionate with a slim and small waist. Women with an hourglass figure have legs proportionately to the upper body.

4. Apple shape

Women with this body shape have the most weight in the upper body area with broad shoulders. They tend to have a narrow hip with a defined waistline.

Maxi dresses For hourglass body shape

1. Column maxi dress:

Works best for an hourglass shape. Column maxi dresses generally fit tighter and allow you to flaunt your curves.

2. Spaghetti strap:

You can also opt for spaghetti strap dresses to show off your soft round shoulders. The column dresses also work well as maternity dresses.

For Apply body shape

1. Wrap maxi dresses:

Wrap maxi dresses help balance the body figure by downplaying the upper half and giving you appropriate coverage. Alternatively, you can also try vertical patterns to provide the illusion of a taller figure

2. Low-cut maxi dress:

Low-cut dresses are a great way to make yourself look taller instead of broader. A low-cut V-neck will do wonders with this outfit.

Maxi dresses for Pear shape

1. Silhouette maxi dress:

This dress is fitted at the top and flows downwards from the hips. It sits comfortably below the waist and complements the pear shape.

2. Bandeau maxi dress:

A solid bandeau dress will slim down the pear shape. This dress will draw attention to your waist that is exactly what we want with this one

Maxi dress with a rectangular shape

1. Belted maxi dress:

we want to work with dresses that help add dimensions to the outfit. Choose a belted dress whose belt sits just below the bust. It will give the illusion of a longer bottom half which is the look we're going for here.

Colors and prints:

Another common concern women have is choosing between all the colors and prints. It's best to stick with some basics, and you will be good to go.

If you're petite, try smaller prints and avoid block patterns. Big and bold patterns can consume you and make you look like you're dressed in a size greater than meant for you, even if you're wearing a size appropriate for you. On the other hand, curvy women can try many prints available. Pretty much all patterns will look good on you.

Styling a maxi dress:

Since a dress is a one-piece garment, you will need accessories to make it occasion-appropriate. As a rule of thumb, go for minimal jewelry if you're wearing a printed dress. Statement-worthy jewelry works best with formal and plain attire.

Shoes are another important factor to consider. They can be a make or break, particularly for dresses, so make sure you know what you're going for.
