Boyish figure

Average User Rating:
Body type: Boyish figure
Your challenge: Creating curves
The best pants for you: Heavier, textured fabrics like tweed, wool and corduroy are your best bet for adding much-needed volume. Look for traditional boot-cut styles to help create length and try options with a slightly lower rise to draw attention to hips. Choosing pants with well-placed pockets is a great way to add attention to certain areas, as is adding a low slung belt. Look for colorful stitching or a flap pocket on your bottom to create the illusion of an hourglass shape.
Dress them up: Play up a small waistline with fitted tops and jackets. Lightweight layers will also add dimension to your shape without adding too much bulk.
