Fashion How-To: Dress for Your Body Type

[BertMcBox33]

I'm kind of an apple or pear shape. I have a small bust line, and medium sized hips. My waist is the largest part of my body. What would you suggest for someone of my shape?

[KendallMonster72]

I'm a curvy girl, but I'm only 12... is that normal? I also have a large bust and ass... not Kim Kardashian or anything...

[chasingstreetlights]

[danceri110]

Do you have any advice for someone with a bigger butt/thighs ? I just found your channel and I adore it! <3

[mimprincesa]

advice for someone with no hips nor waist nor breasts but with a huge ass and thighs? ):

[iloveetolaughh]

bigger on top than bottom?

[KimHollandchjen]

Great video, I searched the whole of youtube for videos like this from experts, and let me just tell you something, it was all BULLSHIT, yours actually made sense and the outfits (unlike the other ones) are nice.You actually understand how to dress certain body types :)

[love4clothes]

where did u get the skirt??

[Celina12316]

I'm very thin but I have a bigger bust and waist.. soo, good for me I guess?

[chelsandiarebffs]

I'm definitely a pear. My hips and booty are wider than my top half, I have very tiny shoulders and waist. It's sometimes hard to find good jeans for me :/

[LOVELY7740]

Um could you maybe do one of those fashion how-to videss for girls who are a bit smaller?:)

xx

[tutunene2]

[JocelynNicoleBieber]

[thor123452091]

[EmilyTuverson]

big stomach, small bust, and big thighs.

[FTMscouse2010]

[FTMscouse2010]

I'm sorry i like your video's but you talk to much, xx

[kennybenny2009]

advice for big breasts and big butt, flat stomach??

[MissHeleneKjaer]

great vid, but I just have to say something. What is it with people that think that above the elbow is 3/4 sleve.. just to clear that up :)

[mozangel]

I don't actually fit into any of the categories :( I have large breasts, but the problem is that the rest of me isn't that big. so usually if I wear dresses that are empire waist i end up looked preggers :/ But I do have hips and thighs but not very much going on in the rear. Lol. Any help would be awesome!

[rachelinreality]

advice for full-bust but with lovehandles :/

[LittlemissswagXX]

The 3rd one the T-SHIRT IS WRONG IT HIDES UR SHAPE THATS MY OPINION

[fhallon13]

any more advice for tall curvy all over :D

[OOthatswhatyougetOO]

Hey. Love this, and I love how you're responding to these people. Um, let's see. I'm 5'3"/5'4". I have a great leg shape, but they're a bit bigger than slender girls. My mom says I also have curves, and I have a wider hip (size 11). I have an average bust as well. My arms (particularly biceps) have a bit more fat in them. And I'm only fifteen, aha. What body shape is that, and what tips would you give me? Thank you! (:

[mariana4gymnastics]

aw i guess i have the first body type you mentioned :c

[nerdsrule348]

how about short girls with large-ish breasts? (:

[labonneruerouge]

hahaha, curvy all over?

you mean fat.

[kanada635]

are jeans from forever 21 kinda stretchy because i have really muscular legs so its kind of hards to find good fitting jeans that are also long enough.?

[sarahhawkinson]

@kanada635 actually I feel like the ones that are more pricey are really good. they are high quality pants, I would steer clear of the cheaper jeans though as the do stretch and are quite poorly made.

[kanada635]

@sarahhawkinson thanks(:

[LabelMeHappy]

What about broad shoulders?

[sarahhawkinson]

@LabelMeHappy same advice for athletic, you can emphasize by wearing tank tops, or you can hide with tee shirts that are cut below the shoulder muscle. I recommend never wearing halter tops as that will make them appear wider!

[otherwheregirl]

Any advice fo tall, thin, flat chested girls with a pot belly?

[sarahhawkinson]

@otherwheregirl empire waists, or higher waistlines would disguise the pot belly, and also help with small busted ladies!

[sophziixD]

is 5"5 and a half short?

[LindsayLuLuOfficial]

just started watching your videos recently, they're amazing! and you have awesome personal style!

[officialhoser]

Great video and responses, thanks. I would love to see a video on how to mix colors and your favorite color combinations.

[cassieheartsnoodles]

this is so helpful thank you :)

what would you suggest if you're tall, and lanky at top no hips but extremely huge monster calves?

[Mulle753]

Big belly, long thin legs, flat chest big butt? Is that a tough one? (:

[cassieXroboX]

WOW i love how you reply to heaps of comments!! not many people actually do that so thankyou for taking the time to connect with your supscribers< its fantastic

[sarahhawkinson]

@cassieXroboX it's one of my favorite parts about this! what am I without you guys you know? and I feel better when I talk to some of you than treating you like strangers!

[sarahhawkinson]

@creamytarte either muscle or fat. if you're not sure you probably don't! what I mean by thick is jeans tend to fit you fine or tight in the thigh and loose around the waist. it's about the ratio. if they seem too large for your body and/or waist!

[notme94]

I am very short.. 5 ft... lol! im skinny.. i like my body.. but what can make me look taller? lol!..

[sarahhawkinson]

@notme94 nude platform shoes! or lighter colored shoes will elongate your legs. definitely don't do too long of a short, short shorts are great on you. also if you think tall you will be tall so make sure you have good posture and lots of confidence! :)

[schu2020]

@notme94 I'm 5 feet tall as well! I suggest boot leg jeans with heels (not ridiculously high, just 2 inches or so will make a huge difference and create an illusion of height if the jean just skims the top. I personally stay away from anything that hits midway on my calves or right at the ankles (ie capris, long skirts, etc) because this segments my already short legs and makes them look even shorter!

[clairejane03]

i love how you are able to handle yourself and can make people understand that you aren't here to boss them around, but just to be nice give your advice

[miiiiiiilk]

I recently got a pair of boyfriend jeans that go pretty wide from top to bottom so I fold the bottom part up (no idea what its called in english ^^;;) to give it more shape and it shows a bit of ankle. What kind of shoes would you wear with it? I dont like wearing heels under it because it doesnt match the 'slouchy'/casual style i'm going for.

FYI, They are high waisted so I tuck a simple fitted tee in :D Thanks!

[TheNaomiCo]

@miiiiiiilk wear oxfords or that type of shoe :)

[TheNaomiCo]

@miiiiiiilk wear oxfords or toms or a slim type of shoe like that! :)

[sarahhawkinson]

@miiiiiiilk I think cute ballet flats would look best, maybe even oxfords or animal print flats!

[MissHyperlicious]

This video was great :) I wish you showed more outfit options but maybe a future video?

[TheSuperSheeep]

@sarahhawkinson Hi, um I'm not really sure what body type I would be, because I have fairly large (emphasis of fairly) hips, thighs, and bust, but I do have a waist, I'm pretty thin everywhere else. Do you think I could pull of skinny jeans? and do you have any other tips on how to dress? Thanks <3

[sarahhawkinson]

@TheSuperSheeep I think everyone has the ability to pull of skinny jeans, I would just make sure not to do a skin tight top, or something that is too clingy. tunics or button ups that are belted would look great because it will help disguise any hips you might be emphasizing given the skinny jeans. xx

[TheSuperSheeep]

@sarahhawkinson Thankyou! xx

[MartaVolturi]

Hi Sarah <3

What about very tall girls? I'm tall and thin but a little pear shaped, what do you suggest?

xx

[sarahhawkinson]

@MartaVolturi tunics! I feel like tall girls are the only ones to get away with wearing tunics! with leggings, or slim jeans etc. I think it would look amazing. you don't want it to be too clingy though around your hips so watch for that, but that might be tricky. xx

[xmandaloverx]

i am stick skinny on top but im really curvy on the thigh and my butt;( help!!

[BeautyFreakist]

@xmandaloverx You're bottom-heavy/pear. :] Try to balance out your top half, so DON'T wear tight tops.

[sarahhawkinson]

@xmandaloverx definitely ruffly tops, the same tips I said for pear shaped girls! xx

[Lubbcookie]

I love you!You remind me of a cute cat! :))

I have a big waist and big thighs :(((

help me!!

and big chest too.

I am not ROUND-but i am BIG-like kim kardashian type.I hate it!

[sarahhawkinson]

@Lubbcookie haha love it! kim's body is beautiful! you can emphasize it like she does or wear fuller leg jeans and/or looser fit tops, but you definitely want to emphasize a waist!

[alg2391]

I am a pear shaped, im 5'2 and my bottom half is bigger than my top..i have trouble finding shorts or skirts for the summer that dont add weight to my bottom half what do you recommend?

[sarahhawkinson]

@alg2391 I think fuller mid length skirts would look best, and something that isn't going to make your thighs looks larger. short shorts will emphasize them more so cover them up with bermuda shorts! xx

[lora9513]

Where'd u get those cute brown shoes in the background? next to your doc martens I think

[sarahhawkinson]

@lora9513 urban outfitters!

[KayKay1713]

Love your videos :)

[LifeSoldOnEbay]

I'm pear shaped and have thicker thighs but would boot cut jeans look good on me considering I'm5 2'?

[sarahhawkinson]

@LifeSoldOnEbay yes! platform sandals like I featured in the video will help to make you look taller! esp. if you can't see the shoe at all. kind of like Rachel Zoe's style. xx

[memans75]

What about apple shaped, large breast, wide back, flat butt?? lol. I really need help dressing. Thanks!!

[sarahhawkinson]

@memans75 flat butt is easy! you want to add volume, so for jeans look for 3D pockets, or jeans with a design or buttons on the bottom. fuller skirts will help fill you out back there as well! for a wide back and large breasts I definitely don't recommend take tops or at least thin strap ones. think to cover them but still support your breasts and define a waist! xx

[FldHkyGrl09]

Where did you get the black and white striped top?

[luisapea]

i love watching your fashion videos:D

[jajonesjulie]

adorable adorable adorable :)

[oOoBuBbLeSoOor]

Short torso, long legs girls?

[sarahhawkinson]

@oOoBuBbLeSoOor cropped jeans, or ankle cigarette cut will help to make your legs look more in proportion with the rest of your body! xx

[GabiGirl891]

sarah i love your videos but i wish you would stop apologizing or reaffirming the fact that people can wear what they want. it kind of takes away from the video, your true fans know they can wear what they want and this is just you're opinion, i just dont want you to feel like you have to cater to your haters or be so careful with offending people. if you are offended, stop watching!

[sarahhawkinson]

@GabiGirl891 thank you for the supportive comment. I guess I don't want people thinking the wrong idea of what I'm doing here. I've gotten negative comments before like they think that I think I'm right or something. so it's just to protect myself from people like that. but I agree, I do it too much. xx

[BeautyFreakist]

@GabiGirl891 She's just being thoughtful...

[LuverMakeup]

Oh nevermind haha sorry!

[LuverMakeup]

but if your a pear shape wouldn't you want to show off your waist and stomach like with a fitted shirt?

[oddmagosh]

ahh, i love your fashion how-to videos! will you do a spring fashion video? ps, i like your makeup in this video:)

[TheCojoKat]

I would think if you are bigger on bottom (pear shape), you'd want to make the bust look bigger for a more hour glass shape :/ i''m glad i can pull off skinny jeans even if i'm a pear shape ;)

[itsHelenHere]

I have very big thighs and calves compare to my narrow upper body, how can i fix that ):

[sarahhawkinson]

@itsHelenHere wide leg pants are your friend in this case! you want them tight fitting in the thighs and fuller through the calves, and also ruffly shirts and things like it would look more flattering on you.

[annigowadiona]

@itsHelenHere

I'm the same way :(

[Queenlala439]

Great video idea! :) <3

[star009r]

im a 20 year old cury girl size 18 and pettie 5'4 , so how can i dress my body " pettie"

[sarahhawkinson]

@star009r definitely follow my tips for the curvy all over girls - you want to emphasize your waist as best as possible, again, wide leg pants or bootcut jeans will look best! most places like American Eagle sell petite sizing!

[popaliste]

@star009r I'm 24 and 16-18, 5'4. If I can give you tips (I'm not the third as good as Sarah, she's a style genius! But through time I found some tricks for my body shape) 1- A cardigans with just the middles buttons attached narrow you're waste line but make sure to buy them not to large. 2- A high waist skirt or pants are really good options because they prevent "muffin top" 3- And a proper bra fitting is crutial, my bras look pretty ugly with their wide straps but they support me well! :)

[star009r]

@popaliste i dont get what you mean by " cardigans with just the middles buttons " whats middles ,,,,,,,,send me a pic on what type of cardigan your talking about because im confused ,

[popaliste]

@star009r sorry, my first language is french so sometimes I don't express well what I have in mind. I'll send you a picture in private and you can share you're tips with me too if you want!
