Discover which garments best suit your morphology and get the most out of your silhouette.
If you still do not know what your body type is, here we will leave you some examples with which you can guide yourself.
TRIANGLE SILHOUETTE
Pear body or also known as triangular: This stands out for having the hips wider than the shoulders. To make it visually more aesthetic, we must compensate for the volumes, for that we will have to highlight the upper part and reduce or hide the lower part, which is our prominent hips.
How can we achieve it?
Simple, use striking garments on the top such as prints, bright colors, rhinestones, fringes, ruffles and V-shaped necklines. We can also structure the shoulders with shoulder pads or puffed sleeves.
All this will make the shoulder which is usually smaller than our hips compensate and achieves a much more balanced silhouette.
In Arena Martínez, we are very versatile so we have garments for every one of our clients. That is why, if your figure is pear-shaped, we recommend these clothes that will make you look phenomenal:
Cerdeña Blazer: This blazer, thanks to its straight cut and puffed sleeves, will perfectly balance your silhouette. Her unique print will make all eyes turn to him. Without a doubt, an exclusive garment that you can combine with any of your wardrobe basics.
Black Tie Shirt: Thanks to its puffy sleeves, it achieves a visual effect where your shoulders will look wider, which will make your silhouette look more aesthetic.
Nielsen Queen Shirt: This shirt with its shoulder pad effect will make you look visually more stylized and will give you a lot of poise that will make you steal looks everywhere.
INVERTED TRIANGLE SILHOUETTE
Inverted triangle body: This type of body is the opposite of the previous one, which is the pear-shaped body. This one stands out by having the shoulders wider than the hips, so what we need to do to make it look more balanced is to take the focus off the top.
How can we do it?
The garments of our upper part have to be less flashy, more basic, using monochromatic colors, preferably neutral or dark, and avoid prints and very prominent necklines as much as possible.
In this type of body, we must focus our attention on the legs using skirts and pants with volume, pockets, pleats and more rigid fabrics.
If you have this type of silhouette, we recommend these Arena Martinez garments that will make you look fabulous on any occasion:
Art is love t-shirt: The dark tones of this t-shirt make the upper part
Spirulina Pants: These colorful, wide-cut pants will make all eyes turn to your legs. You can combine them with a blouse of a more neutral color and thus reduce the difference between your shoulders and your hips.
Cheri Pants: As with the Spirulina pants, it is a good option to balance both parts of your body, but with soberer colors. The options are endless!
HOURGLASS SILHOUETTE
Hourglass body: This type of body has very marked curves since it has a very thin waist and proportionate shoulders and hips.
In this case, to get the most out of them, what we must do is continue to enhance that waist with garments that highlight it, fitted outfits (but always in your size), high-waisted garments and a total look in one color.
Avoid very loose clothing since we can go from an hourglass body to an oval body.
Highway Trench Coat: This gorgeous oversize trench coat is perfect for those days when it’s a little cooler. Its bow in the waist area will enhance it a lot, and will make your curves look more.
Hand-painted Jeans V: These original hand-painted jeans have a mid-rise and fit perfectly to the body. Being skinny, will hug your curves and enhance them.
Pink Skirt: The pink skirt, being pareo style, adapts perfectly to the shape of the body. You can adjust it so that it marks the waist area and thus also enhances the hips.
RECTANGULAR SILHOUETTE
Rectangular body: This is recognized by having the shoulders, waist and hips aligned.
What we must do for those of us who have this type of body is to look for and create curves and for that, we must mark our waist with a belt or bow, high-waisted bottoms, and voluminous skirts with prints that we will compensate with an upper part where the shoulders stand out. (with ruffles, boat necklines, straps, etc..).
Borneo Dress: This beautiful dress, is made of loose fabric, and gives us the option of adjusting it a little with a belt. If we add to that the straps that will give more visibility to your shoulders, we have a most flattering garment for rectangular bodies!
Borneo Kimono: Kimonos are a perfect garment for this type of body! They can be transformed into dresses with the help of a belt, which will at the same time highlight your waist and create the illusion of more curves.
OVAL SILHOUETTE
Oval / Apple body: They do not necessarily have to be voluminous bodies, but they can be bodies with prominent bellies, fewer buttocks and thin legs.
In this case, we will do as in the other bodies that we have commented and it is to seek to compensate the upper and lower part in addition to seeking to reduce the abdomen area.
The best clothes to achieve this will be clothes with small prints and loose fabrics. We will enhance our legs with skirts with volume, prints, or ruffles. We can also do it using shorts in bright colors and with some lace detail.
For dresses, it is best to use dresses with an empire line to give volume in the fall and hide the abdomen.
Sauco Vest: Our Sauco Vest can be tied in the lower part of the chest, creating a greater volume in the abdominal area that will hide that area.
Baby Blue Trench Coat: This type of coat will make you look very chic and elegant, making you look divine at the event you go to.
Highway Shirt: This stylish shirt will hide the abdomen area which will make you look spectacular.
Keep in mind that the important thing is that you feel comfortable with what you wear, these are just some recommendations to get the most out of your silhouette, but it will always be more important that you are comfortable with yourself. Here there is no body better than another, they are all perfect and unique, and at Arena we care that each client feels free in their own skin, being a blank canvas and filling themselves with color and personality with our garments.
