Step 3: Blazer Formulas 👔

 

  • 🍎 Apple Shape/ Oval Shape:
    ✅ Hero piece: Long pinstripe blazer
    💼 Power move: Blazer + straight pants + nude pumps

Avoid body-hugging or loose-fitting silhouettes. Both of them will make your body look wider. A regular fit is perfect for you. Neither slim nor oversized.
Nude pointed heels are your best ally when you want to look taller and thinner.
Avoid maxi prints for the suits.

 

  • 🍐 Pear Shape/ Triangle Shape:
    ✅ Hero piece: Cropped blazer + wide-leg pants
    💼 Power move: Ankle straps + slim belt

You have a Pear body shape if your legs and hips are wider in relation to the size of your shoulders. That’s why you need to be careful with the pants cut you choose. Try straight-cut pants, avoid oversized pants and skinnies, they will make your hips and legs look wider.

 

  • ⏳ Hourglass Shape:
    ✅ Hero piece: Double-breasted blazer
    💼 Power move: Blazer dress + knee-high boots

You have an Hourglass Body Shape if your body shape is balanced, the size of your shoulders and hips are the same, and your waist is defined. You must keep the balanced shape of your body by wearing slim or regular fit suits. Avoid loose-fitting suits.

 

  • 📦 Rectangle Shape:
    ✅ Hero piece: Oversize blazer + corset belt
    💼 Power move: Crop top peeking under blazer

If the size of your shoulders and hips is the same and your body looks visually balanced, you have a Rectangle Body Shape. The only thing you need to emphasize is your waist. In order to make your waist look smaller, try cutting the waist suit’s jacket. Avoid straight-cut suits.

 

  • 🔺 Inverted Triangle:
    ✅ Hero piece: Unstructured linen blazer
    💼 Power move: Blazer + pleated midi skirt

You have an Inverted Triangle Body Shape if your shoulder size is wider in relation to the size of your hips and legs. You are the opposite of the pear body shape. Avoid jackets with pronounced shoulder pads, these will make your shoulders look wider.
Straight-cut pants are a good option for you.
