Ladies, if you are tall : knee-length or long dresses are perfect for you. However, you can also opt for mini dresses , this will highlight your long legs.
For the little ones among us: rather bet on a “mini” dress and avoid long dresses. If you are determined to put one on and you are thin enough… You will have to put on high heels in return.
Your shoulders are wide and it “disturbs” you: you can “cheat” and balance your figure by choosing a puffy dress at the hips.
Your hips are wide , and it bothers you? A skater dress with a fitted top and a light, flowing bottom should soften your curves.
Don't like your belly? At first, it would be better to avoid too thin materials that let everything show through, also avoid belts. Opt for straight and airy dresses .
If you have generous curves : the border between "sexy" and "vulgar" is thin. It is best that you avoid prints and too pronounced necklines.
After defining the type of dress that best suits your body type. Now try to determine the color that suits you . Depending on your skin, not all shades will necessarily suit.
If you know the color of your complexion, you are in possession of a considerable advantage. Knowing your shade will allow you to more easily identify the most harmonious color palette with your body type. This will allow you to embellish yourself with colors that suit you. There are three types of complexion: warm complexion, cool complexion and neutral complexion which is a mixture of the two.
If you have dark skin, choose a light color such as: white, yellow, green or pink . Avoid browns and black which will be too close to your skin tone. On the contrary, if you have rather white skin, avoid light shades and turn your attention to a darker color. You can especially bet on bright colors.
For the more curious, here are some more detailed examples:
Do you have light hair, your eyes are light and you catch the sun easily? Your favorite colors are warm and light tones such as: orange, coral, bright red ... On the other hand, if you have trouble getting a tan, opt for cold tones, wearing pink, water green, turquoise ...
If your skin tone is pale, your hair is dark, and your eyes are bluish or green. Opt for bluish tones and favor pink and purple shades such as: raspberry, burgundy or cherry red .
Do you have dark hair, in harmony with your eyes and your skin is tanned? Set your sights on warm and dark shades such as: dark yellow, brown, khaki, coral ... If your skin is dark, bet on cold and dark shades, which highlight your complexion such as: burgundy, navy or pine green .
