Leave this Shape to the Ice Cream

There's the 'pear', the 'apple' the 'square'. And then there's the curvy and the boy-ish figure, the short and the tall, the thin, the athletic. After looking at many guides I have come to one simple realization. None of us fit into just one of these standards. Or two. Maybe three at the least. What is most frustrating is that many guides will assume that if you have a certain 'shape' your height and everything else will be a certain way- and this is just not so. That is why I am formulating a new guide that should be more helpful for targeting every need in a clear and comprehensive manner!

This ultra-condensed guide will finally allow you to find your VARIOUS body 'types' and 'issues', and actually find out exactly what will work best for you! No more guessing! :)

I will be posting one section a day until it is all posted!


Broad-Shouldered

The best advice for this section is to stay away from straight and skinny jeans (yes, it's that important if you are trying to balance your figure)! See those ice cream cones up there? If you want to look balanced, just try to follow the look of the vanilla cone, and you can't go wrong!

•Pockets: Not applicable to this particular area, it is dependent on other issues. Check your other areas of concern on this list to see what may be best for you.

•Cut: Straight and skinny jeans are best to avoid because they will magnify your shoulders and shrink your shape from shoulder down, creating an ice-cream cone effect. Flares will work well for you, and if you are on the shorter side, a slightly flared bootcut will work best. Ultimately flattering also is the trouser cut, which will bring more width to your legs in comparison to your shoulder width.

•Rise: Not applicable to this particular area, it is dependent on other issues. Check your other areas of concern on this list to see what may be best for you.

•Wash: Dark raw washes will also magnify shoulders. But jeans with faded thighs and whiskering on the hips and knees will really help to bring more proportion and shape.

•Stretch or Rigid?: Not applicable to this particular area, it is dependent on other issues. Check your other areas of concern on this list to see what may be best for you.
