Someone with a similar shape/size as me may like to wear closer fitting clothing and emphasizing her curves while I prefer clothing that skim my body, not tight but not very oversized either.<br /> And expect to find that your chosen style will change over time as you grow and change. Angie's has. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-need-some-tips#post-1868107 Thu, 14 Dec 2017 18:39:41 +0000 JP 1868107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome to the forum.&nbsp; I second what The Cat said above.&nbsp; She pointed you to the right direction.&nbsp; I also wanted to add that there are so many details to consider, for example not all pear<br /> shaped figures are the same you need to take into consideration the<br /> vertical type and also the profile details such as protruding vs flat derriere and/or swaybacked&nbsp; or long neck vs. short<br /> neck, rounded and/or sloping shoulders. Understanding your contours and the best clothing choices to maximize the<br /> parts of your body that you like a lot, and move the eye away from a<br /> challenging area.</p> <p>One resource that can help you is the book written by Carla Mathis:<br /> <em><strong>The Triumph of Individual Style</strong></em> it is thought in Fashion schools and one of my courses, it's the best book I've read.&nbsp; Check out her site:<br /> <a rel="nofollow" href="http://thestylecore.com/">http://thestylecore.com/</a></p> <p>she sells webinars and I think you'll find some of them helpful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/i-need-some-tips#post-1866906 Sun, 10 Dec 2017 23:21:02 +0000 The Cat 1866906@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome to the forum! </p> <p>Based on the very few facts you have stated about your body/figure, I wonder if you are a "pear".

I am 17, and at the moment I am layering, months ago I used to wear tightly fit T's so I can look more buffed, but now I am trying that oversized trend. The problem are my legs, especially my thighs (I can pm pics if needed) but if my top size is M, my jeans size is 40 (skinny EU in Bershka). So since I can't make my legs any smaller, how should I use them to look nice? </p>
