• The Apple gal has a tendency to carry weight in the mid-section. She should avoid designs that draw attention to the middle: wide belts, high waisted pants, anything that cinches in the middle. Look for tunics, straight legged jeans, long, straight cardigans.
• The Pear shape has a larger bottom and a smaller top. Avoid shapeless over-sized tops, skinny jeans, slinky fabrics. Instead, look for wide legged pants, A-line skirts and waist defining jackets.
• Hourglass gals want to avoid shapeless, boxy styles, over-sized cardigans and tunics. High waisted pants, wrap dresses, wide belts and pencil skirts are better options.

The straight up and down gal is a Rectangle and she should avoid fitted waists, anything too flowy or unstructured. Long cardigans, over-sized tops, tunics, boot cut or skinny jeans look good
