Dressing yourself according to your body type is really very important. Correct dresses work on your body and persona. This is the common problem where women get wrong. Women think that their body type is based on their hight, which is a myth. Body types are completely based on body shape.
Let's have a look at what to wear according to your body type.

Pear
In the pear-shaped body, the lower half is wider than the upper half. Women with this body type have well-defined waists and rounded bottoms. Pick up the outfit that one emphasizes the upper body and not draw attention to the hips.
What to wear: A-line skirts, dark-coloured bottoms, light-coloured tops, cowl and square necklines, boat neck tops and strapless dresses.

Wedge
Women with the wedge–shape have wide shoulders and a broad chest. It tends to be large in proportion to the hips and waist. The goal of dresses should be to bring forth the lower body while not drawing attention to the upper body.
What to wear: Wide-leg pants, full skirts, tops that accentuate the waistline, high-waist outfits and styles.

Rectangle
In the rectangle-shape, the width of the entire body, namely, shoulders, hips, and waist are uniform. And generally are the slimmer side of the body. The arms and legs of this body type are good to flaunt and the goal of any dress is to create curves.
What to wear: Scoop necks tops, long jackets to create a lean look, tops with details, collars and ruffles, dresses with ruching and colourful bottoms.

Apple
For the women with the apple-shape, the hips are narrow but their shoulders, ribs, and back are broad. Legs would be a prime asset for such women. The goal of dresses would be to create the image of a long torso and a waist.
What to wear: Monochromes, empire tops, and dresses, belts at the narrowest part of the waist, V-neck tops, boot cut jeans, and mini-skirts.

Hourglass
The hourglass figure features a tiny waist and hips and shoulders that are in proportion. Women with this body type tend to be curvy and the goal of dresses would be to accentuate the curves.
What to wear: Fitted dresses, a waist belt, wraparound dresses, high-waist skirts, to show off your hips and straight leg or skinny jeans.
