Dressing for your body and feeling confident is something that can be hard to do at the same time. There are also various points within your life where you might not always be confident in your body or have body dysmorphia from gaining or losing a lot of weight.
It’s always good to look at how you can dress for your body so that you not only feel good in the clothes that you wear but so that you feel confident too. With that in mind, here are some helpful tips for dressing for both your body and to feel confident.
Your body shape can shift and change ever so slightly throughout your life, so it’s always good to understand what type of body shape you are. Irrespective of gender, although it’s often talked about more for women, men have different body shapes too.
However you identify, it’s always good to get to know your body shape and to figure out which shape you are closest to.
When you go through various changes in life, especially when having a baby or losing a big amount of weight, it’s good to take a look at your body shape and reassess to see what might have changed.
It’s always good to factor in what you love when it comes to wearing clothes. While there will be certain styles and looks that you naturally gravitate towards, you should think about how you feel when you dress up in the clothes.
Some clothes are going to make you feel good, others might appear nice on the rail but they might not give you that same feeling that you’re looking for. Find the clothes that make you feel good and that way, you’ll always feel confident in the clothes you wear as a result.
If you love an abaya, then this isn’t something you should feel forced not to wear. The same goes for a pair of Crocs or a bucket hat. Wear what you love and you’ll find much more joy in fashion.
Trends are something that will come and go. As well as that, fashion is often something that has a habit of repeating itself.
Following trends are great but you shouldn’t take this as a must when it comes to dressing up your wardrobe. Stop following the trends, especially if you find yourself buying clothes that don’t suit you or you don’t feel good.
Walking with confidence is an important one when it comes to dressing for your body. If you’re looking to feel confident, then the clothes will only do so much. You’ve got to feel good in yourself and that often comes with how you walk.
Posture is an important part of feeling confident in your skin, so be conscious of how you’re walking.
Finally, remember that you’re the one wearing the clothes, not the clothes wearing you. With that being said, find the clothes that make you feel good and that you feel confident dressing in.
These tips will help you manage fashion for your body so that you can feel confident when it comes to your wardrobe.
