How to choose your lingerie according to your body shape?
To feel beautiful and comfortable, choosing your lingerie according to your figure is very important. This allows you to highlight your strengths and hide your small imperfections.
But for this we would still need to know its morphology. Let's look at some tips for wearing your Brigitte BARDOT retro fashion lingerie.
The A-shaped silhouette or pyramid
Your shoulders are thin and your hips are wider. This is the most common silhouette among women. It is a feminine and delicate silhouette.
What to wear?
The objective here is to highlight your chest in order to rebalance your silhouette.
Choose push-up bras to flatter your size. The bandeau shape is also very suitable thanks to the straight line it creates under the chest and which highlights it.
Opt for color , patterns , lace and embroidery that will dress your upper body.
For the lower body, the most suitable remains slightly high-cut cuts.
A tanga or skirted thong will be your best ally.
