Went to Olafur Exhibition this afternoon. I got inspired by him. His Mirror Installations.Visit Olafur Eliasson Here

A fan circles in an irregular orbit above our heads, water squirts up in cascades, and in another room we can walk in a labyrinthine architecture of coloured space. (Moderna Museet)

HOW TO DRESS A RULER/RECTANGLE BODY SHAPE

RECTANGLE/RULER: Your body is more or less the same width from your chest to your hips, with very little curve. 

Here are characteristics typical of a rectangle body type:

• Your bust and hips are approximately at the same width
• You have little or no waist definition
• Your waist measures from 1" to 8" smaller than the bust
• If you gain weight, typically the pounds would distribute evenly throughout your body frame
• Most rectangle shapes resemble an athletic body type
• Best assets are your arms and legs

Check you body type here

Reference Text :(http://40plusstyle.com/how-to-dress-the-rectangle-body-shape/)

Top

• Use strong blocks of color to help define your body
• As for most body types, be sure to wear a good bra to define what bust you have
• Wear tops and jackets that emphasize the waist
• Choose a coat with a good waist or that is belted at the waist
• Any jacket tailored around the waist will look great
• You can use some shoulder padding (don’t overdo it though)
• Medium to high necklines usually work well, especially if you have s small bust and long neck
• If you like to create the illusion of bigger breasts, choose tops with pockets, rushes, pleating and other front details
• Halter necks will also give the appearance of a bigger bust and shows off your back
• Accessorize with belts around the waist. Heavy belts can be really good if you’re also long waisted
• If you have no waist at all, then a belt is best avoided
• 3/4 sleeves usually work really well for a rectangle
• Blouses can look really good if they are tucked in
• Shift dresses and empire line dresses work well, but I also like to break the rule with dropped waist dresses!

Tops for Rectangle Body Shape

Bottom

• A-line skirts work really well for this shape
• You can also go the other way and wear a tight skirt or pants to highlight the curves that you DO have
• You can wear almost any shape trousers but slightly flared trousers will look great on you as it will add more shape to your body. Low to mid waited pants are usually best.
• A knee length pencil skirt that tapers in at the side will also add some curves and look good
• If you like the waistless look you can opt for straight skirts and shirt dresses
• For shoes, opt for curvier and rounded options like ballerinas and pumps.

What not to wear

• Very tight clothes
• Baggy styles

HOW TO DRESS AN INVERTED TRIANGLE BODY SHAPE

INVERTED TRIANGLE: Triangle is quite desirable as many clothes will look good on you. 

Here are characteristics typical of an Inverted Triangle body type:

• Shoulders are wider than the hip
• You may have strong-looking shoulders
• Your body figure may project a sporty and athletic physique
• Your hips look straight given your shoulders being broad
• You may have flat bottom and slim legs

Dress for An Inverted Triangles

Reference Text :(http://40plusstyle.com)

Upper body

• Create vertical lines with vertical stripes
• Open necklines and collars, like halter necks, v-necks and scoop necks
• Wear soft feminine textures to soften the shoulder line
• Avoid extra width and wear single breasted tailored jackets
• Wear jackets open to create a vertical line
• Wear jackets that are well structured at the shoulder
• Look for tops that will accentuate the waist, like tops with banding or nipping at the waist or wrap style tops
• Wear tops that accentuate a vertical line, so go for V-necks and keep your shirts unbuttoned
• Also find tops that balance the bust with your hips (if you have a large bust)
• Wear tops just below the hip bone
• Wear a darker color on top
• Wear strapless gowns and tops
• Use belts to define your waist even more

Lower body

• Create more width and overall balance below with A-line or full skirts.
• Use bold textures to create more bulk
• Horizontal stripes will make the lower body wider
• Fuller leg width in trousers, full or bootleg pants. Culottes will work for you too
• If trousers don’t fit your waist or bum, get them altered at the tailor
• Have pockets or embellishments on your trousers or skirts.
• Wear bold and eye catching shoes

Culottes for Triangle Shape

What not to wear

• Avoid shoulder pads or anything that accentuates the shoulders
• Boat necks
• Horizontal lines on top
• Oversized collars or lapels on jackets
• Very chunky knits (if you want to wear these, choose a dark color)
• Big bold pattern and graphics on top as it has a widening effect
• Tapered skirts
