Choosing the Right Ladies Blouse for Your Body Shape

There’s no doubt that in the world of women’s fashion, there are more choices today than ever before. The options for ladies’ blouses alone include a multitude of prints, patterns, and colors to choose from, not to mention necklines! But this does not mean that every woman can wear the same type of blouse and it’s important to know your body type and which style of ladies blouse will accentuate your most flattering features while hiding problem areas. Once you know your body type and what will flatter it, you’re in for a world of fun as you search through racks and racks of beautiful ladies blouses that are all for the choosing!

The hourglass figure looks like just that – broad shoulders, tiny midsection, full hips and long legs. This type of body figure can wear just about anything, including any style of ladies blouse, and look great in it. Unfortunately, very few of us were blessed with such a body type and, especially as we begin to mature, areas of the body start to droop and fill out. However, those that are lucky enough to keep that hour-glass figure will still always have the most choices available to them.

The largest problem that women with plus-size figures have finding ladies blouses is generally not in the length, which should be three to four inches below the waist, but in finding roomy arms that don’t cut into the skin in the underarm area. Although plus-size stores will most certainly be your first choice for any type of larger clothing, also try stores that you may not normally think of such as maternity stores, which usually only has clothing that is larger and has more room to move. The bonus with these kinds of stores is that the fashions are always top of the line and extremely trendy. However, you may find that they may be a bit pricier than other stores. Trapeze tops and empire waist blouses are also very good styles to watch for as they will have the room that you are looking for.

Apple-shaped bodies also look like exactly that. The shoulders and back are very broad, the midsection is wide and that fullness extends to the lower thighs, and the legs are quite thin. With this type of body shape, women generally want to hide their midsection and this is when knowing how to shop for ladies blouses is very important. The first trick for apple shapes is to draw the eye away from the tummy and wearing a V-neck blouse with a long necklace is a great way to do this. Length is also important and it’s important not to be afraid of going a size bigger than you actually are. You may be very grateful for the extra room!

Pear shapes have the opposite problem of apple shapes in that they are much smaller on top than they are on the lower half of their body. Because of this, attention needs to be taken away from the lower portion and brought up above the waist and this is great news when shopping for ladies blouses! Pear shapes have many options including layering blouses with blazers, wearing as they are, and they can also wear just about any pattern they find! Here length is important as well but again, pear shapes want shorter blouses so that they don’t travel down too far past the waist and bring attention to the lower body. Ladies blouses that fall just at the waist also aren’t recommended for this body type as they will seemingly cut the body in half and make it appear disproportioned.
