The O-shaped silhouette
Celebrating generous curves: the art of lengthening the silhouette and enhancing your feminine assets with charisma.
In fashion, charisma is born from visual harmony. Before you go shopping, it's essential to understand your body shape. The O-shaped silhouette is characterized by evenly distributed curves, a less defined waist, and often a large bust. It's a voluptuous figure that possesses all the attributes of femininity.
"Your goal: to lengthen the torso, highlight your legs and streamline the midsection for a slender look."
To be preferred
- Necklines: V-necks, square necks, or boat necks are perfect for creating the illusion of a longer torso. Dare to wear plunging necklines with confidence.
- Empire waist tops: These cuts enhance your bust while gliding over the stomach without clinging to it.
- Bottoms: Low-rise, straight-leg trousers and flowing cuts make your legs look divinely long.
- Skirts: Dare to show off your legs with skater, trapeze or straight skirts to energize your look.
- Layering: Wear your jackets, coats and long vests open to create vertical lines that slim the silhouette.
- Palette: Favor deep colors (midnight blue, burgundy, anthracite grey) to visually sculpt your body.
Avoid
Avoid overly voluminous pieces like puff sleeves, ruffles, or busy textures that create unnecessary bulk. Steer clear of tight-fitting clothes, bulky puffer jackets, and short coats that accentuate a tummy. Finally, avoid horizontal stripes and small, repetitive patterns in favor of larger prints.
Now that you have the keys to showcase yourself, all that remains is for you to shine.
