Are your hip and bust measurements equal in size? Is your waist narrow? Do fitted pieces keep you from looking “pregnant” or larger than you are? Most likely you’re an hourglass. Not sure? Check on the BODY SHAPE CALCULATOR.
Not an HOURGLASS? See APPLE, PEAR, INVERTED TRIANGLE or RECTANGLE capsules to find your best summer styles. The following pieces are based off of my SUMMER VACATION CHECKLIST.

STYLE TIPS for HOURGLASS BODY SHAPE
1. This cheerful wrap dress from Target will hug your curves in all the right places and just might become your new go-to. A closet essential, you can dress it up with a statement necklace + heeled sandals for date night or take it for a shopping spree with sandals and a straw tote. Note: wrap dresses are universally flattering so ALL SHAPES can consider this an option for the summer.
2. Nothing is easier than a classic white cardigan for summer. I’ve chosen a fitted version for the most flattering effect. Not your color? Have no fear, there are many colors available in this JCrew cardigan.
3. Have you tried a jumper yet? This stunning red splurge-worthy style is worth trying on. It’s made of 100% polyester which means you can save $$ on dry cleaning by washing it by hand in cold water or on the gentle cycle of the machine and line dry it. Look for a jumpsuit or romper with a fitted bodice like this wrap style. This one is also a great piece for PEARS and RECTANGLES.
4. Fitted or straight tops are best for you so I looked for pieces in these two cuts like the darling scalloped neckline tank. Another fitted tank option: GAP. Straight fit tank: GAP
5. This A-line skirt has a belted waist to give your outfit structure. Make sure to pair it with a fitted top like the scalloped tank or something fitted at the waist like this boatneck LOFT tee with the knotted waist.(Currently on SALE.)
