Curves give the figure that sexy, sultry appearance, but sometimes, it’s not that easy to flaunt them. This is especially true if you’re not particularly curvaceous and you need to find the right ways to make your body look more voluptuous than it actually is. Whether your body is curvy but you just don’t know how to show it off with your wardrobe or you need some tips and tricks for creating an illusion of a curvy figure, we’re here to help you look stunning on your next outing.
Bodycon dresses
If you need to enhance your hips, then a bodycon dress is your cup of tea. Looser dresses will only conceal your backside, so make sure you opt for a dress that will hug your curves and follow the lines of your figure, making all of your assets pop. Wrap dresses are another amazing choice, as they tend to give you a plunging cleavage that’s not too revealing but still adds a certain dose of sex appeal to your look.
Stripes
We constantly hear how vertical stripes are always the best choice because they will visually elongate your figure. However, when you need a certain part of your body to appear fuller, you go for horizontal or horizontally diagonal patterns. Vertical lines will de-emphasize your voluminosity, which is precisely why you need to forget about them and go for horizontal colour-blocking. Furthermore, use geometry to your advantage and opt for a skirt or pants featuring a graphic print. This will draw attention to the lower part of your body and add instant hips to your silhouette.
Jeans
When you want to make your backside look sexy while your midsection gets centre stage as well, going with a pair of stretchy jeans is the best option. Furthermore, if you opt for a pair of high waisted jeans that hug the hips and buttocks in all the right places, and match them with your favourite blouse that you’ll tuck in, you’re guaranteed to show off all of your best assets. With a pair of pumps, you’ll add height to your figure as well while making your silhouette both curvy and elongated. Keep in mind that if you choose too tight jeans they can squash down your buttocks instead of making it pop, so look for the ones with a curvy fit and stretchy fabric.
Waist-nipping pieces
If your waist is narrow and your hips and bust more prominent, then waist-cinching clothes will look amazing on you. Accentuate your midsection and you’ll automatically put more emphasis on your hips as well, so think about wearing hourglass-shaped frocks. High-waisted pants and skirts are also a great choice, just make sure you accessorize them with a big belt. Highlight a narrow waist with cropped tops and jackets, and make heads turn all over the town.
Pencil skirts
While squats will do wonders for your buttocks, thus making those curves pop, your favourite pencil skirt can be your little helper as well. Thanks to a close-fitting silhouette, a pencil skirt will add a curvy shape to your physique because it’s wider on top and narrows down towards the legs. That’s why you should avoid looser skirts that only disguise your hips, and go for a pencil or even a trumpet skirt. The latter will add a curvy shape to your figure with its fit-and-flare styling, making your backside a focal point.
Final thoughts
Pointing out your silhouette has never been easier. All you need to do is look for wardrobe pieces such as pencil skirts, body-con dresses, high-waisted jeans and waist-nipping pieces to make sure all of your curves are on point. Mix and match patterns experiment with colour blocking and you’ll find even more solutions to making your figure curvy for every occasion.
