Comment #73 chosen by Random.org! Thanks to all who entered and to Dress Barn for sponsoring this awesome giveaway!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I don’t know about you, but picking the right sweater can be hard! Thanks to Dress Barn here are some helpful tips in selecting the best sweater for your body type!

  • Pear-Shaped(bottom half of your body is larger than your upper half):
    • Select a sweater that ends at your waist so as not to draw attention to your lower half.
    • A-line sweaters flatter this shape and will not cling to your middle.
    • All-over patterns will add to the illusion of proportion.
    • Opt for round- or square-necklines. This will draw more attention to your upper body and less attention to your lower half.

  • Long and Lean:
    • Choose a wrap-sweater or belted sweater in order to define your waist line.
    • Go bold—a slimmer figure can handle bright colors, think textures, etc,
    • Create curves by choosing a sweater with plenty of detail; think pockets, embellishment, patterns, etc.
    • This shape can handle a longer sweater/sweater dress. Pair with stylish boots and tights to complete the look.

  • Petite:
    • Closer-fitting (but not skintight) styles are perfect for petites.
    • Look for chunky knits to pump up the volume on your top half.
    • Opt for sweaters that have standout embellishments such as pockets, ruffles or bows.
    • Pair sweater dresses with heeled boots to bring your style to a whole new level.

  • Plus Size:
    • Sweaters that are belted or cinched at the waist will best accentuate this shape.
    • V-neck sweaters or long necklaces will draw attention up toward your face and neckline which creates a visually slimming look; avoid turtlenecks.
    • Keep it simple; opt for darker colors and patterns to accent your curves, but makes sure it fits. Baggy will only make you look bigger.
    • Be cautious of fabric; bulky will add unwanted bulge. Think lightweight and airy.

Whatever your body type, Dress Barn has all your clothing needs covered for Fall and Winter!

    I’m sort of just a bit thick all over, but I’m pretty proportionate. Not sure what type that is. I guess that makes me plus sized…yuck. 🙂
