Top up look with indo western wear

It’s the big question that seems to pop up with alarming regularity everytime you plan to dress up for a special occasion – what top should I choose to accentuate my good features and play down the negatives? Well, here’s the Bible according to your body shape. Pin it to your wardrobe and you can’t go wrong!

So, what should the right top do?
Add curves to a slender structure.
Cut down on the heaviness of the big busted.
Balance out well endowed bottoms.
Make a petite body look taller
Accentuate curves for the hourglass figures.

If you are heavy on the top, be sure to go for well-tailored blouses with deep V-necks since V-necks flatter your assets. Avoid chokers and wear long neckpieces instead. That makes your upper half look less heavy. For the coordinated look, team an A-line skirt or medium flared trousers with your blouse – the ones with details on the waist and wrapovers look absolutely stunning. Opulent fabrics like satin and crepe should be your first choice.
Smart tip: Pick up an empire-line blouse…and you’re ready to move and shake!

Ample hips? Those with proportionate busts and heavy bottoms need tops that end just below the waist and partially cover the hips. A clever ploy to stop people from noticing the behind is to wear deep necklines, and avoid tops with chunky belts. Your body will look more proportionate with booties and flared bottoms. Make sure your blouses are made from fabrics like silk, crepe and satin.
Smart tip: Tunics with jeans look wow!

The petite damsels are never in distress. Having a compact structure with a cute, elfin aura, they will win compliments with tops having Chinese collars and high necks. Sounds like you? Well, dark colours and big, chunky prints are a big no-no. But you must say ‘yeah’ to soft fabrics like mul-mul, cambric and chintz with small prints. Your blouse, when worn with a waistcoat, fitting jeans or a ra-ra skirt, will help you gain inches!
Smart tip: Look taller with blouses and pencil skirts!

This is one body shape to envy – the curvy one. Your perfectly proportioned figure will look best in well-cut tailored shirts that are neither loose nor tight. Any neck highlights your curves - be it scoop, cowl or V-neck. So does any fabric, whether it’s satin, cotton or denim. Keep off large prints, and go in for wide pants or an A-lined skirt. Got a party to attend? Put on your high heels, take a medium size tote and get ready for the compliments.
Smart tip: Funky, long neckpieces do good things for your curves. Go for it!

What if you have a boyish frame but would like to look alluring? Take a blouse with ruffles and frills, to make your slender shoulders appear rounder. You can be feminine and elegant with boat neck tops and sweetheart necklines. Tops with sashes and shaping lend curves to structured bodies, especially when teamed with jodhpurs or a gathered skirt. Girly colours like purple, red and pink are recommended.
Smart tip: Get the womanly look with cap and puff sleeves.

Now that you know what suits your body shape, let the right blouse turn you into Cinderella. Isn’t that a lovely way to top up life!
