ABOUT body shape analysis
What is Body Shape Analysis?
Body Shape Analysis is a personal styling concept that helps us create flattering looks for our body shape. Measurements can be taken or observed to help determine our body proportions and which of the body types we align with most. Each body type has its own set of style rules, so we can easily identify which clothing styles suit us best and learn how to pair them easily.
It is quite a traditional styling tool and is sometimes considered outdated by some. This is because the concept of body shape analysis is founded on the idea that the everyone wants to be an hourglass.
Fortunately, the framework of body shape analysis can also work in reverse. So if you want everyone to know you’re a proud member of the big booty itty bitty titty committee or want to create a more masculine or feminine silhouette, you can!
A body shape analysis can be used to create the illusion of any silhouette you want, drawing attention to areas that make you confident, or de-emphasising those that don’t
Do I really Need a Body Shape Analysis and is it Worth It?
The value of a body shape analysis correlates to how happy you are with your current silhouette, and how difficult you find getting dressed.
Body types which are average generally won’t have much difficulty finding flattering clothes and dressing well. Their most flattering styles will generally be well stocked, and there will be a ton of inspiration in the media.
However those of us with more irregular proportions can find shopping quite oppressive and be made to feel like there is something wrong with us. A little guidance around why certain things don’t work for us, can give us a much needed confidence boost as well as improving our shopping experience.
If you dread getting dressed, a body shape analysis will prove to you that your body is not the problem, increasing your confidence and well being. You will learn which styles work for you and which don’t saving you time and tears in the changing room.
Since knowledge gained from a body shape consultation can be applied to your current wardrobe, it offers good value for those wanting to improve their style investing in additional items.
