HEAD-TO-TOE COLOUR COMBOS THAT FLATTER EVERY BODY TYPE
Written by Vidhi GandhiJul 27, 2015
Most of us tend to focus on the colour of your skin when it comes to choosing what to wear. That’s because very few of us know that being smart about our choice of colours can actually flatter our body types. Yes, colour can actually help with our dressing dilemmas. Here’s how you can flatter your body type by wearing the right colour combos...
Pear shape
What you need to focus on is your best assets—your shoulders, arms and chest. Draw attention on your upper body by experimenting with colourful blouses, shirts and tanks. Neutral, dark or rich hued bottoms can help deal with your problem areas—your waist or lower body—and make it appear ‘bootylicious’ and alluring.

Apple shape
Broad shoulders and fuller busts are your problem areas. Trick it into looking thinner by playing around with colours in rich and dark tones. Since your legs are thinner, draw focus on them by going for light or pastel hues and fake a thin upper body by going for colours like burgundy, emerald, black or Persian blue. Avoid plain white clothes as it will make your body shape appear fuller and wider.

Banana shape
Your shoulders are balanced with your waist and hips but there’s hardly any waist definition. In order to lend some curves, wear colours like red, white, yellow or jewel tones and avoid very dark colours like black or darker shades of blue as they tend to make your frame appear boyish.

Hey guys. This is Vidhi Gandhi- A style junkie and blogger! Fashion, style and coffee keeps me sane and I am mad about shopping. I could go shop in any part of the world and never get bored of it. Apart from the usual fashion activities I am addicted to my boyfriend who thinks I am fabulous and could rule the world! Though he thinks I am a bit too much but I know he madly admires me.
