What clothes suit me best with my O body type?

Morphology in O:how to highlight the upper body?

To enhance your O silhouette, it is essential to respect three fundamental rules:favor fluid materials, dark and monochromatic colors and cover your arms. Basically, you should not emphasize your curves with patterns or materials that are too tight. For your tops, opt for straight, light or structured cuts that fall on your hips or on the top of your thighs. On the neckline side, the boat neck or the square neck are perfect for your morphology, as is the light V-neck, if you have a generous chest. If your waist is well defined, using a corset for example, you can also fall for the peplum top which will hide the volume of your hips. For jackets and coats, choose long cuts (minimum below the buttocks) and straight or slightly fitted. It is best to wear them open to look slimmer.

O morphology:how to dress the lower body?

Without hesitation, the ideal pants for O body types are straight pants. Avoid the slim that would reinforce the imbalance between the upper and lower body. Watch out for corsairs and capri pants that cut the silhouette and draw attention to the thighs. Opt instead for straight 7/8 pants that just reveal the ankle. Models with a flare or bootcut cut also suit your silhouette since they balance it. For the cut, prefer high sizes that encompass the buttocks and belly and avoid making unsightly demarcations on the hips. On the dress side, we opt for fluid materials, empire, straight or wraparound. As for skirts, dresses and shorts, choose lengths that go up to the knees and not above! If you take the shock, wear high heels that refine the silhouette.

What I should banish from my closet

You will have understood it, for your morphology in O, exit the clothes that sheath! Also say goodbye to horizontal stripes and other intrusive patterns as well as flashy fabrics. The belt is also one of the worst enemies of round silhouettes because it emphasizes the "width" and makes a demarcation. Get rid of clothes that are frilly, pleated, baggy, balloon, anything that can add volume to your figure. We also think of pants that are too wide. Finally, avoid mini-skirts and mini-shorts, even with leggings!
