Do’s and Don’ts of Styling for Oval Body Shape

If you possess an oval body shape, you should emphasize upper or lower body features to take the focus away from your mid-section. The ideal way to achieve that is to choose clothing that adds curves and fullness to your lower body and tops that flare around your waist.

You can opt to wear a wide range of tops with intriguing necklines or details like ruffles or bows that bring attention to your neck and shoulders. Another option that would flatter you, are wrap tops with V-necks to accentuate your shoulders and fall gracefully around your waist.

One of the other features of your figure that you can focus on, are your legs. Boot or straight cut jeans or trousers will create a straight line from your hip to your shoes, making it appear slimmer. Wearing a bottom of a darker shade will also help in creating that illusion.

The printed silk ruffle blouse and the formal cotton blouse with ruffles would incorporate well in creating a look highlighting your neckline. You can pair these with flared trousers or boot cut jeans or even flared skirts to create a formal or a casual attire.

The Silk Boat Neck Dress from our collection would bring attention to your shoulders and present a chic look while draping around your hips.

You should avoid investing in tight fitted skirts or denims as well as crop tops with high waisted trousers or denims.

DO’S: Tops with ruffle or bow necklines, wrap tops, V-necks with boot or straight cut jeans or trousers.

DON’TS: Tight fitted clothing (skirts or denims or trousers), crop tops paired with high waist jeans.
