Jackets with Shoulder Pads
It is possible to create an illusion for the belly look thinner, for this we need to make the shoulders look structured. Blazers or jackets with shoulder pads can be very suitable for this illusion. It would also be appropriate to use shoulder pads for blouses or cardigans. Also adding a third layer like a coat, cardigan, or vest is suitable for an oval body shape. There are also jackets that women of oval body shape should avoid, these are cardigans that usually end at waist level, and belted or double-breasted jackets.
Top Choices
V-neck tops are unquestionably the items that should be favored, but tunics, shirts made of soft fabric, and half-tucked blouses will also be good options. Use buttons, patterns, and lines to provide vertical lines to your clothing, but watch out for patterns that are too large in the stomach area. By doing so, you divide the largest portion of your body. Something with draping or diagonal lines is more attractive. Moreover, choose blouses and dresses with flowy fits, draping, and wrapping in general. However, there are some items that people with oval bodies should avoid. The most crucial ones are blouses with high necklines, crop tops, blouses with excessive detailing at the waist, hems that extend above the hips, and extremely tight blouses. I also recommend you to take a look at this magnificent blouse, which will definitely suit women with oval body shape.
Bottom Choices for Oval Body Shape
Women with oval body shapes have beautiful slender and straight legs, we should aim to create a more balanced, slimmer, and longer image by using these beautiful legs with the right clothes.
Pants Options
For oval body shapes, choosing pants jeans will be easier than choosing a top. First of all, as I mentioned before, it will be perfect for you if you use dark colors at the bottom. In addition, loose trousers such as Palazzo can make your body look more balanced. The trousers you can choose should be boot cut, straight or wide leg style. But if you are definitely a fan of tight pants, you can still choose skinny jeans that are not too tight, you can choose mid-waist regular skinny jeans.
Another thing you should pay attention to is that the length of the trousers and jeans do not merge with the floor, only two fingers shorter will be necessary for the balance you want. Avoid wearing tapered pants with a high waist. Here I found a very good example for you, I suggest you take a look at these wide-leg trousers, which will be suitable for any atmosphere and will be indispensable.
Skirt Options
Skirts look great on a woman with an oval body shape. If the skirts you can choose are loose skirts like trousers, it will be much easier to catch the balance. For this, you can choose A-line or skater skirts. These go over your tummy and make your flat waist look curvier. Be sure to choose high-waisted styles as this will help create a defined waist. Mini skirts can still be preferred, but you should be careful not to be too short. You can also take care not to choose skirts with too much waist detail and too narrow. Also, it will be perfect for you to choose skirts with soft and draping fabric. You must have this gorgeous satin skirt, which looks very similar to the one in the photo above, don’t you think it looks great?
Oval Body Shape Dresses
There are many dresses that women with oval body shapes can choose from. There are a few things to consider when choosing a dress. The collar is what we need to focus on in our upper body, a low collar will be the perfect choice for you. Dresses with an upper waistline or a vague waistline, dresses that show wider shoulders and sleeve details can be good choices. As with blouses, dresses with an A-line top will suit you. Besides, I can say that wrap dresses are my favorite for women with oval shapes. There are also some dresses that you should avoid. These are dresses that are too detailed, too light, focused on the waist and hips, too tight, and with horizontal stripes.
