Glam but first coffeeThe best secrets and fashion tips for an Hourglass figure. I have wanted to write an article about fashion advice and tips for an hourglass figure for about a year but never ended up doing it! This is the day!
Look at your body and see- if you have an hourglass figure or not, be sceptical because I used to think I was just a round apple and there was no shape, but I was so wrong about that- that is when I discovered that I have an hourglass figure! My blog is mostly about Petite fashion but this can help any height
I wanted to learn more about the style for my body type, so I read articles but not only- I looked at what Youtubers and celebrities with my body type wore and what looked good on them. That is my first advice to you- find your fashion inspiration who has the same body type! For now, if you are an hourglass figure type, you can just keep reading.
Fashion tips and secrets for an Hourglass figure
Crop trops
Crop tops changed my life and fashion game. I always thought that crop tops are not for me and are meant for skinny, great looking women but I was so far from the truth! Crop tops look great on everyone and especially on a little bit curvy and hourglass figures they look super cute. There are sexy crop tops, casual crop tops and even party crop tops, or jerseys. I have never had a jersey one, but planning to get one in the future- they look super cute in cold weather.
When I discovered the love for crop tops, I bought some in H&M, where they have a very good price. In Spain, I found some in the store named “Inside” and New Yorker!
How to pair them? Except if you have a very great body type with no rolls, wear it with anything high-wasted: jeans, trousers, skirt. The crop top makes your skinnier part of the body to pop up and make you look very great and have a sexy body.
Good crop tops: H&M, New Yorker, Zara
High waisted EVERYTHING
Talking about high-waisted clothes- I hope that low waste jeans will not come back in fashion (that was a horrible moment in fashion). What you need in your life are high waisted everything- jeans, trousers, skirts and shorts. You want to snatch in that curves of yours and put accent on your waist- which is the skinniest of your body!
Now I always try to buy either normal waste or high waist jeans. They just make the waste, butt and legs look very good for our body type. Does not even matter if the skirt is pencil type or wide designed, but a high waist is the one you need to go for! High-waisted clothes hide defects and show effects (turns defects into effects).
I can suggest you good jeans from Zara or Veromoda (These are my favourite brands for jeans). Skirt I love to buy from Stradivarius, Veromoda, or Zara. But Shein and Stradivarius jeans for Petite women.
Dresses with belt
The best secrets and fashion tips for an Hourglass figure: You need to snatch in that waist (as we found out before). Therefore you better get a few belts (nude, white and black to start with)- those will help you! I have had too many times that I fell in love with some dresses that are not designed for my body type (too wide usually, square or triangle shaped), that is where belts help me!
Try to buy and look at dresses which are already snatched in or with belts. They are your type of dress that looks perfect on an hourglass figure. Square or triangle-shaped are usually too tight on the bust and too wide on the hips and legs making your body “out of shape”.
I love to search for dresses in outlets or local small thrift stores. Have a walk around your town and ghetto- I am sure you are going to find some! These are the best to get great and unique dresses with good quality bet lower prices! It is always better to support small and local businesses.
Tuck in your shirt/ sweater
This advice is especially great for women who are not only hourglass but are also short (like myself). I have had some t-shirts or sweaters that I like a lot but they are too baggy, and make my body look very fat and out of shape as well- they many times end up being sweaters I wear at home or t-shirts that I sleep in. Does that happen to you?
If so, try to tuck in your sweater in your jeans or skirt- that way your legs will look longer and your waist will pop out (also your butt will be seen). For the T-shirt, I have discovered that I like to tie a knot on the stomach, and then hide the knot inside of the shirt! No one can even notice that it is what I have done! That way it looks cute and comfy but you still put an accent on your waste.
Sweaters: Reserved, Zara, Vero Moda.
Skinny jeans
Skinny jeans are the best type of jeans in the whole world and as an hourglass figure, you need to have these in your wardrobe. Forget about boyfriend type, baggy type or wide-design jeans- they are not for you (in my opinion, they are for no one).
You want to show off your hips and butt that many women dream of but you already have that!
Make sure that they are high quality look good on your body and have the right size. You do not want to have those roll-outs of your tummy over your jeans (therefore always high-waisted).
Bell type of skirt (high wasted)
I do not know what these skirts are called in the fashion world but I would call them as bell type of skirt! Skirts are what you need to go for in general. There are so many that I have found that make me look super skinny with a great body- it is up to the material, quality and shape of the skirt.
Last but not least from the best secrets and fashion tips for an Hourglass figure. This time I want to talk about a triangle or bell type of skirt which really snatches in your waist and then falls on your hips making you feel girly but comfortable. I love to wear this skirt with crop tops or a casual white or black T-shirt ( with a V cut). I have noticed that a skirt like this makes my body pop and it looks even more hourglass than it actually is!
Skirt: New yorker, Zara, Stradivarius
