Fashion Trends Fall/Winter
2014-2015 remain the focus of
our trilogy about smart shopping for the season. In our previous posts, we
discussed the 4 key elements of this season's trends (colors, fabrics, prints and apparel logo) and the
different styles of women that firms and designers have brought us this Fall/Winter.
With the issues we have seen, you can get a general idea of the resources
available to us to dress in the coming months.
Once again, to conclude our trilogy Fashion Trends Fall/Winter 2014-2015,
we will explore how we can adapt these elements we saw a different female shapes,
so that we can take full advantage of our body with all the proposals that fashion
offers this season. In AF Moda we believe
it's always good to remember all these issues related to morphology and shapes,
and contextualize them with the proposals of each season, so, let´s go for it!.
As we always mention in our other trilogies, there is
an international image consulting called "Colour
me Beautiful" which has defined a set of guidelines in morphology to
classify the different types of shapes of women in the world. From their work,
there have appeared new consultants and stylists, who use and complement these
theories every day, not only in morphology but also in terms of color harmony
and many others elements. Thanks to all these experts, we can identify five
types of shapes, depending on the proportion between the width of the shoulders
and the width of the hips. These shapes are:
- HOURGLASS SHAPE: Shoulder width in proportion to the
width of the hips, with a defined waist. It is the ideal silhouette,
proportionally compensated.
- TRIANGLE SHAPE: very narrow shoulders and wide hips
- INVERTED TRIANGLE SHAPE: very wide shoulders and
narrow hips
- RECTANCULAR SHAPE: Shoulders in line with hips but
without a defined waist
- OVAL SHAPE shoulders, waist and hip rounded, which
results in a very sinuous body.
Now let's see how each of the different silhouettes
can use the different elements of Fashion
Trends Fall / Winter 2014-2015 to make the most of their physical
characteristics:
THE HOURGLASS SHAPE:
We can say that this is a silhouette privileged by
nature, so it means that any article that it uses, both the top and bottom of
the body, will favor it. This body can also use all sorts of fabrics and
prints, which means that this Spring-Summer 2014 can play with all the options
that we have been discussing in the previous post.
THE TRIANGLE SHAPE:
In this case, we need to harmonize the silhouette
volumizing the smooth shoulders and easing off the hips, using at the top
garments with structured shoulders, rounded sleeves, body tissues and all kinds
of patterns and colors, while at the bottom straight garments (never tight), in
dark tones and solid colors, and as far as possible without pleats, ruffles,
frills or pockets. As for dresses, they should be straight or with empire
waist. This body can also play with colorful accessories so that deviate
attention to the face and not towards the hips, which is what we want to
conceal. It is also advisable to always carry a little heel, to gain slenderness.
THE INVERTED TRIANGLE
SHAPE:
Here we seek to soften the shoulders and give volume
to the hips to harmonize the silhouette. To do this, we will use at the tops
garments with unstructured shoulders and all kinds of sleeves, avoiding the
shoulder pads and linear jackets; also will use tissues with little body and
weight, and also will try to rather small prints and harmonic colors; for the
bottom, we will use rounded garments that allow us to give volume and amplitude
at the hip, being allowed the use of pleats, ruffles, decorations, etc.. We
must avoid the straight and very tight clothes. We can use fabrics with body,
volume and thickness at the bottom, in addition to all kinds of patterns and
color contrasts.
THE RECTANGULAR SHAPE:
With this silhouette, the objective is to smooth the
rightness of their lines and define the waist, to get as close as possible to
the perfect hourglass silhouette. We will achieve this by using on the top of
the body garments with unstructured shoulder and sinuous lines, avoiding thick
and stiff fabrics, and specially marking the waist either through the cut of
the garment or belts of all kinds, and also avoiding bright colors or prints
with color contrast; for the bottom, we will choose any type of garment with
sinusoidal shape to the hips, using fabrics with drop and weight.
THE OVAL SHAPE:
This silhouette is very curvy, so it is necessary to
structure and give it slenderness. To do this, at the top we will use
structured shoulders and vertical lines, avoiding curved lines, also, tissues should be fine, with weight and fall,
and in harmonic colors, with no contrasts. For the bottom, straight clothes are
recommended, with linear forms, with fabrics that have fall and weight, with
small prints and in color harmony.
Once again we see that no matter what figure we have,
the important thing is knowing how to choose the clothes and accessories that
in one hand fit better with our physiognomy, and in the other best represent
our personality and style. First of all we should feel beautiful and
comfortable with our image. Fashion offers endless possibilities in varied
qualities and prices, so we can be dressed during the season without get broke
trying to do it. It's all about observing the stores, so that buying seasonal trends
becomes a pleasant experience, and we can also do it properly.
As we always say, we can be the woman we want to be,
and transmit it to the world through our image, showing all the wonders we have
inside. Recall that, for better or worse, the first image is what counts, and
worth more than thousand words; we must do everything in our power to project
the best image of ourselves, clothing ourselves with common sense and judgment
every season.
In AF Moda
