HEAVENLY HOURGLASS

Five Wedding Guest Looks for Hourglass Body Types

5 Head-To-Toe Looks for the Wedding Season

Strapless A-Line Midi Dress

Why It Works:

- Highlights the shoulders, collarbones, and arms, drawing attention to the upper body
- Enhances the natural curves of the hourglass shape by showing off the bust and emphasizing the waist
- Creates a smooth, uninterrupted line across the chest and shoulders, accentuating the silhouette
- Flared from the waist, the A-line dress balances the proportions of an hourglass figure by gently skimming over the hips and thighs
- Emphasizes the narrow waist and curvy shape without clinging to the lower half

Ankle Strap Block or Slim Heels

Why It Works:

- Block heels provide stability and comfort while adding height, keeping the overall silhouette balanced and proportional
- Slim ankle strap heels help elongate the legs, creating a sleek, polished look that complements the dress
- Ankle straps draw attention to the ankles and add definition, which helps emphasize the natural curves of the legs

Fit Tips:

- Ensure the strapless bodice fits snugly but comfortably, offering support without feeling restrictive—look for dresses with internal support like boning or built-in cups for extra lift
- The A-line shape should flare gently from the waist, avoiding too much volume near the hips, which could add unnecessary bulk
- Choose fabrics with a bit of structure or slight stretch (like cotton-blend or silk) to hold the A-line shape and provide comfort throughout the day
- With ankle strap block or slim heels, choose a heel height that’s comfortable yet flattering—block heels provide support, while slim heels give a more delicate, elongating look

RUNWAY RECTANGLE

Five Wedding Guest Looks for Rectangle Body Types

5 Head-To-Toe Looks for the Wedding Season

Ruffled Shoulder Gown

Why It Works:

- The ruffled detail adds volume and structure to the shoulders, helping to create the illusion of curves and adding visual interest to the upper body
- Balances the proportions of the rectangle shape by drawing attention upward, giving a more feminine, curvaceous appearance
- The A-line or flowy silhouette provides movement, which adds volume without clinging to the body, flattering the rectangle shape by emphasizing the natural waist
- A flowy skirt helps create a more defined waistline, giving the illusion of an hourglass figure

Ankle Strap Block Heels or Mule Style Heels

Why It Works:

- Ankle strap block heels provide added stability and support, while the ankle strap helps define the ankle and elongate the legs
- Mule style heels have a sleek, open design that helps elongate the legs without breaking the line, maintaining a seamless, chic look
- Both heel styles add height, making the figure appear taller and more proportionate, while also keeping the outfit grounded and balanced

Fit Tips:

- For the ruffled shoulder detail, ensure it sits comfortably and doesn’t overwhelm the upper body—look for ruffles that add just enough volume to create the illusion of curves, without adding too much bulk
- Opt for fabrics that are lightweight but structured, like chiffon or silk, to ensure the skirt flows naturally without clinging to the body
- Choose ankle strap block heels that are not too high, which will keep the look balanced and comfortable—aim for a heel height that enhances the natural lines of the dress without being overly bold
- For mules, ensure the heel is thick enough for stability, and make sure the open back fits snugly around the heel to prevent slipping

POLISHED PEAR

Five Wedding Guest Looks for Pear Body Types

5 Head-To-Toe Looks for the Wedding Season

Sweetheart Neckline A-Line Midi Dress

Why It Works

- Highlights the collarbones and bust, drawing the eye upward
- Creates soft curves and adds volume to the upper body, balancing wider hips
- Feminine shape enhances the décolletage and defines the shoulders
- Cinches at the natural waist, emphasizing the slimmest part of the torso
- Midi length showcases the calves and ankles while minimizing focus on the hip

Raffia Wedges or Platform Heels

Why It Works:

- Adds height and balances the lower body’s natural fullness
- Raffia texture provides a casual, summery contrast that complements the midi dress
- Platform heels give lift without straining the arch, enhancing leg length without discomfort
- Chunky sole visually balances fuller hips and thighs, creating an anchored silhouette

Fit Tips:

- Ensure the bodice fits snugly to define the waist and support the bust without gaping
- Choose structured fabrics for the skirt portion to hold the A-line shape and avoid clinging
- Make sure the vertical pattern is uninterrupted—avoid horizontal seams at the hips
- For wedges or platforms, opt for a nude or light tone to elongate the leg line and keep the focus on the dress

ICONIC INVERTED TRIANGLE

Five Wedding Guest Looks for Inverted Triangle Body Types

5 Head-To-Toe Looks for the Wedding Season

One-Shoulder Fitted Midi Dress with Belted Waist

Why It Works

- The one-shoulder design adds asymmetry, which helps balance out the broader shoulders characteristic of the inverted triangle body shape
- By exposing only one shoulder, it breaks up the width across the upper body, creating a more visually balanced silhouette
- A fitted midi dress creates shape around the waist and hips, emphasizing the body’s natural curves, which is important for balancing the angular lines of an inverted triangle figure
- The belted waist creates definition and draws attention to the waist, helping to create an hourglass silhouette and balance the broader shoulders

Ankle Strap Block Heels or Slim Heels

Why It Works:

- Ankle strap block heels provide stability and add height without sacrificing comfort. The block heel also offers a solid foundation, complementing the structured look of the fitted dress
- Ankle strap slim heels add a more delicate, elegant touch, elongating the legs and creating a sleek, refined appearance. The slim heel keeps the look light and modern
- Both styles of heels elongate the legs, providing a sense of height and balance, making the figure appear taller and more proportionate

Fit Tips:

- For the one-shoulder design, ensure the neckline fits securely and comfortably around the shoulder and bust. It should not feel tight or gape, and the strap should sit flush against the skin to avoid shifting
- The fitted midi dress should follow the natural curves of your body, with enough stretch to comfortably fit the waist, hips, and bust without feeling restrictive. Aim for a slightly tailored fit that hugs the body without clinging too tightly
- The belted waist should sit at the narrowest part of your waist to create definition. The belt can be either fabric, leather, or a decorative element that accentuates your waistline and provides balance between the upper and lower body
- When choosing ankle strap block heels, ensure the straps are not too tight around the ankle. They should comfortably hold your foot in place without digging in. A moderate block heel height will offer stability and elongate the legs
- For ankle strap slim heels, choose a strap that fits comfortably around the ankle without cutting off circulation. A higher heel will create more elongation, but make sure the heel height is comfortable and stable for walking

ALLURING APPLE

Five Wedding Guest Looks for Apple Body Types

5 Head-To-Toe Looks for the Wedding Season

Square-Neck A-Line Shift Dress

Why It Works:

- Opens up the chest area, drawing the eye upward
- Highlights collarbones and balances the upper body
- Creates a structured frame, adding definition to the neckline
- Avoids highlighting the midsection, which is often a concern for apple shapes
- Works well with structured or softly draping fabrics to prevent boxiness

Low Heel Sandals:

Why It Works:

- Slight lift helps elongate the legs, a key strength of apple body types
- Maintains comfort while still adding polish to the look
- Thin or nude-toned straps enhance leg length visually without cutting off the ankle

Fit Tips:

- Choose structured or medium-weight fabrics that offer gentle shape without clinging
- Look for dresses with some shaping at the bust or shoulders to avoid a shapeless silhouette
- Keep the hemline at or just above the knee to showcase legs and maintain balance
- For sandals, avoid overly thick ankle straps, which can visually shorten the legs
