Oval Shape

Characteristics: This body type often features a fuller bust and midsection, with narrower hips.

Best Styles: Vertical lines can be quite flattering, as they elongate the body. Empire waists, tunics, and straight-leg pants can create a more linear profile.

Tips: Drawing attention to the face and away from the midsection, using accessories like statement earrings or necklaces, can be effective. Avoid tight-fitting clothes around the waist.
