44 | January 2012 | woman this month Fashion Women come in all shapes and sizes. Dressing for your body type is important, but can be extremely difficult during the winter. Here are a few tips for figuring it out! Find Your Angle The winter months mean more layering, thicker fabrics, large overcoats and an abundance of accessories. Whilst it is great fun to pile up these purchases, we can often loose sight of snappy dressing to suit our particular figures. Lots of uncalculated layering can swamp a woman’s figure. Woman This Month has pulled together a selection of looks for four different body types, to help you figure out your winter dressing. Rectangle shapes are those with slightly boyish figures. This often means that they have a lack of definition in their torso— no boobs, hips or spare tyre to speak of! In order to give a boyish, straight torso the illusion of more femininity, there are a couple of fairly easy steps to take. Try separating the top and bottom halves of the body by wearing a separate colour on each. Cinch in the waist with a slim, coloured waist belt and look for dresses that accentuate the hourglass shape — Carolina Herrera has a gorgeous selection of shifts that are just the ticket!
