JAKARTA - Everyone has a different body shape. Body shape must be recognized properly in order to choose the clothes aka the appropriate clothing match, so that the appearance is maximized.

Men and women have various shapes. Some have solar shapes, some are straight, some are curved," said Fashion Stylist, Yoland Handoko, when met in the Kuningan area, South Jakarta, on Wednesday, October 2, 2024.

If the upper part of the body tends to be large, it is recommended to wear straight subordinates or not to form legs. It is also recommended not to use clothes that accumulate if the upper part of the body tends to be large.

"If (the body) is big at the top, we can use straight subordinates and not too layered or crowded at the top, so people focus downwards. So the impression is harmonious from top of the head to toe," he explained.

If the lower body is large, then maximize the use of clothes at the top of the body. This can be done by wearing clothes layered and using accessories.

Those with large hips are advised not to wear tight pants, because it will further highlight the shape of your hips. It is better to use pants that have wide pieces if you have large hips.

If the bottom is too big, it can be maximized at the top so that the composition is good. So when wearing pants if the hips are big, don't wear tight pants. You can use wide pants or wider ones," he said.

In addition, choosing clothes can also be adjusted to which part of the body you like. You can choose clothes that can highlight the body you like.

"For example, if it's a woman, I'll ask her to explain what your body really likes, what you want to show. For example, like my collarbone, then choose clothes that show your collarbone," added Yoland Handoko.
