You’ll identify with Diamond girl if your midsection is your dominant width and your Shoulders and Hips are relatively the same. You’ll most commonly carry your weight in the center of your frame, likely with a shorter neck and décolleté, and usually with a more narrow or square shaped hipline, with little to no curve variation. Otherwise known as: Circle, Barrel, Round, Orange, Oval
Your goals: Define your waist and capture attention at your neckline and décolleté, emphasizing your shoulders!
Your main objectives are to create curves and the illusion of a waist, while keeping your frame elongated. Utilize both the neckline and hemline to keep the focus on your shoulders and legs to balance your frame. Empire waists that hit the smallest part of your waist are ideal. Maximizing the width of your shoulders, while accentuating your décolleté, is also key to balance and define the Diamond shape. Create curves to your silhouette by color blocking with layers and balance your frame by wearing jackets with structure and bottoms that are straight line or flare. Wear vibrant colors and prints under solid darker structured jackets or vest. Don’t forget to show off your legs and define your waistline.
Must haves:
- Dresses A-Line, Empire and Wrap waist dresses that hit at the smallest point of your waist with exaggerated shoulders and deeper necklines.
- Jackets that have clean lines, are structured and left open. These jackets look great in solid darker colors and pair well with knee-length dresses that are bright, vibrant and have larger prints.
