Despite the fact that the “oval” type figure is considered the most problematic, with such a physique it is quite possible to look attractive. But for this you will need to learn how to choose the right clothes and not buy things thoughtlessly.

Body features

Each figure has its own merits and they need to be emphasized in every possible way, and its shortcomings, which should be carefully hidden. So, the owners of the “oval” type figure, as a rule, have luxurious breasts, soft outlines of the shoulders and hips, and slender legs. These are significant advantages that can easily divert attention from the problematic middle part of the figure.

The main features of the physique:

• rounded outlines of the body, lack of angularity;
• wide waist, practically no different in volume from the hips;
• the girth of the shoulders and hips is almost the same;
• slender legs.

Women with an oval-shaped figure tend to be overweight, they easily gain extra pounds. Moreover, even three or four excess kilos are deposited at the waist, so obese women with such a physique, the waist line is the widest point of the figure. When gaining weight, there is almost always the appearance of a noticeable belly.

Women with an oval physique need to try to control their weight, because losing weight can be difficult for them. But even losing weight will not be able to significantly change the proportions of the figure. Therefore, in order to give the figure grace, you should learn how to dress correctly.

The oval body type requires careful selection of wardrobe. Inappropriate things will not only not hide the flaws, but visually add a few more kilograms.

Many girls, trying to hide the absence of a waist, choose clothes that resemble a hoodie. But with this they achieve the opposite effect, the body looks even more massive. But too tight clothing is not suitable, as it will emphasize the flaws. Thus, the best option are models of a semi-adjacent silhouette.

To visually add harmony, use vertical lines. It can be:

• a vertical strip or a vertically located ornament on the fabric;
• piping or decorative seams;
• vertical cutouts;
• unbuttoned jackets, creating two vertical lines with their shelves;
• vertical rows of buttons;
• long beads and chains.

Now let's figure out what to avoid:

• belts or belts at the waist, as well as two-color clothes, in which the color separation line falls in the middle of the figure;
• miniskirts can afford to wear only slender "ovals";
• jackets and jackets, the bottom edge of which reaches the waistline. Such a choice will violate harmonious proportions.

How to choose clothes?

What styles of clothing can hide a wide waist and emphasize the winning places of the figure? Let's try to figure it out.

Dresses

The main thing when choosing dresses is to follow the location of the waist line. It should not fall on the widest part of the figure. Therefore, we choose models with a high waist, located directly under the bust. This cut will suit both a full and thin figure. Slender girls with a similar physique can sew dresses with a low waistline. In the presence of a protruding tummy, this style should be avoided.

Successful styles are dresses in the form of a trapezoid, that is, expanding towards the bottom.

You can safely choose dresses with unusual, asymmetrical necklines, vertical elements, decor on the chest or along the bottom line. Evening dresses may have a frank neckline, best of all V-shaped.

Slender girls with a figure resembling an oval can also sew fitted dresses for themselves if the skirt has a tulip style.

Skirts

A woman can hardly do without this wardrobe item. For girls with an oval figure, straight models without a belt are perfect. You can choose models with a slightly low waistline.

A-line skirts made from well-draped fabrics also look great. You can choose wrap skirts or models with four or six wedges. For summer, choose a sarong style skirt.

The optimal length of skirts is up to the middle of the knee and a little higher. Slender girls can afford a moderate mini.

To divert attention from the problematic part of the figure, you should prefer models with decor on the bottom of the skirt.

Trousers

No need to give up such a comfortable part of the wardrobe as trousers. best style- a classic straight model with arrows. They should choose shoes with heels. Moreover, the lower part of the trousers should cover the heel to the middle.

You can buy skinny pants, but when choosing such a model, you need to take into account the volume of the hips. The wider it is, the less the degree of narrowing should be. Flared trousers from the hip are also suitable for slender oval figures, but the flare should be moderate.

If the hips are narrow enough, then it is quite possible to wear and skinny jeans or leggings, only with a “top” that is correctly matched to them, which will hide the problematic part of the figure.

For any style of trousers, it is worth giving preference to models without a belt, preferably with a fastener in the side seam. Slender girls can wear shorts. It is better for full ladies to prefer knee-length Bermuda shorts.

Blouses and tops

A good choice for oval-shaped figures can be straight fit shirts, blouses made of thin fabrics with undercuts under the bust, blouses with a smell. Decorative details should be located above chest level. It is important to avoid cropped models, blouses should reach mid-thigh.

Very good tank tops with defined shoulders but loose at the bust and waist. A lifesaver for oval-type figures can be trapezium-shaped tunics with a simple cut.

cutout on blouses it should have a vertical shape, you can use a neckline in the form of the letters V or U. You can emphasize the neckline with contrasting trim.

Sleeves should not be wide, cropped sleeves look good, for example, three quarters. But you can choose blouses with long narrow sleeves.

Sweaters choose free, elongated with a raglan sleeve. Great variety of sweatshirts. But you should refuse to buy tight turtlenecks and models with a large collar.

Jackets

Jackets for the figure "oval" are suitable for a wide variety. They look great on single-breasted models in the style of Chanel, and blazers for men with one-button closure. It is recommended to wear jackets unbuttoned with a release blouse.

Outerwear

To look elegant at any time of the year, you need to choose the right outerwear. Owners of the “oval” figure should refuse to emphasize the waist, the use of belts and belts will not form a beautiful silhouette, but only emphasize the absence of beautiful curves of the figure.

At the time of buying fur coats consider short-haired fur models, the cut should be straight or flared. Length - to the middle of the thigh. This will reveal the most beautiful part of the figure - the legs. Pick up elegant boots with heels for a fur coat.

Avoid large decorative details - massive buckles, large hoods and collars.

Coat it is also better to buy a classic. A model of a straight silhouette or a loose double-breasted coat looks laconic and simple. It should be put aside the model with a belt and a coat that is tight-fitting.

trench coat the classic cut does not suit ladies with an oval figure too well. Models in the style of the 60s trapezoidal silhouette look much more harmonious. You can also purchase a straight coat, but you will need to wear it without a belt.

Swimwear

Choosing a bathing suit for an oval figure, especially if you have extra pounds, can be difficult.

It is better to give preference to one-piece suits, and if the figure is slender, then you can choose a model with cutouts at the waist, thanks to which, a silhouette is visually created that resembles hourglass.

The color of the swimsuit can be dark or saturated, it is good if there is a light vertical stripe in the middle.

Accessories

Choosing shoes, you should give preference to models with heels. It is not necessary to buy shoes with twelve-centimeter stiletto heels, you can limit yourself to a heel 4-5 cm high.

In summer, you can also wear flat shoes - ballet flats or sandals. But such shoe models are suitable only for ladies with slender legs, and they should be worn with skirts and dresses, but not with trousers.

You should not try on shoes with long socks or with straps around the ankles, these models shorten the legs and make them massive.

Belts and belts are needed, only it is recommended to wear them not at the waist, but at the hip line. Scarves and stoles will decorate the figures if the neck is long and the line of the shoulders is graceful. If the neck is short, then it is better not to emphasize this part of the body.

Decorations choose graceful and thin. Long beads and chains are a good choice for clothes with a stand-up collar.

bags choose a medium size, and you need to wear them so that the main part does not fall at the level of the belt. Therefore, it is worth choosing models with long straps or handles that allow you to carry the bag near the hip line.

Fabrics and colors

For tailoring, girls with an oval-shaped figure are recommended by stylists to choose plastic fabrics with a smooth surface. Suitable materials: knitted fabrics, silk, light cotton fabrics, soft wool.

Give preference to plain materials, patterns may be present, but they should be delicate. You can choose fabrics with a thin stripe, with abstract blurry patterns, coloring with an ombre effect.

You should not choose clothes from textured, hard and dense fabrics, they will make the silhouette more massive.

Ladies who are owners of an “oval” figure need to sew one-color dresses, if you plan to combine fabrics, then the color inserts should be vertical. The border of color separation can also pass along the horizontal line of the hips, such a solution, provided that the top is darker than the bottom, will help hide the protruding belly. Contrasting trim can be used to highlight a vertical neckline or the bottom edge of a garment.

fashion images

Using the right wardrobe items, you can create a variety of fashionable images.

For slender

Slim oval shape allows you to wear tight pants and short skirts. For example, you can combine black tight trousers with a burgundy knitted sweatshirt with white piping at the collar and bottom of the model. Complete the look with a straight brown-red jacket and beige shoes on a heel.

Straight jeans can be combined with a tunic, with an undercut along the chest line and freely flowing floors. To this outfit, you can pick up an elongated cardigan with two rows of buttons and shoes with a small heel.

For full

A violet-colored straight skirt with a low waistline can be combined with a loose blouson with vertical stripes. As a set for the costume, we select a black straight jacket with three-quarter sleeves, black shoes with white toes and a purple rectangular bag with short handles.

A-line skirt with diagonal check beige colour combine with a black wrap jacket. We complement the set with matte stockings, high-heeled shoes and modest beads.

Stars with an oval shape

Many famous women are owners of an oval-shaped figure. So, a similar physique for Britney Spears, Renee Zellweger. These girls, when choosing toilets, try to focus on the chest and legs. They also use models that visually shape the waist, for example, with dark inserts on the sides.

A competent choice of clothes, both in design and in color, will allow you to visually correct the shortcomings of an oval-type figure. Despite the fact that it is difficult to fight with nature, there is no need to despair, it is quite possible to “outsmart” it using the advice of a stylist.

silhouette lines(shoulders, waist, bottom and other lines that determine the perception of the shape of the product in front and in profile) characterize the proportions, volumetric shape of clothing and its external outlines. Construction lines(seams) dismember the surface of clothing into separate parts (details) in order to create its three-dimensional shape in a constructive way (by cutting). The main structural seams are: shoulder, side, armholes, necklines, sleeve seams. These seams remain inconspicuous on the surface of the garment, unless they are emphasized by the artwork of the model. To decorative lines include lines formed by various finishes, as well as contour lines of the edges of parts (collar, lapel, side, etc.).

To constructive and decorative lines include all visible seams used for the following purposes: 1) form solution (reliefs, side seams, seams of coquettes, elbow and external seams of sleeves, seams of sewing in of a sleeve, etc.); 2) achieving a rational stacking of the material in width, including on narrow materials, for example, the side seam of a product with a straight silhouette; 3) providing the product with the necessary balance and dimensional stability, which depend primarily on the direction of the warp threads in the details (for example, the presence of a shoulder seam allows you to cut out the details of the back and front, aligning their middle lines with the warp threads

Costume composition

The word "composition" comes from the Italian composition - according to connect. When applied to a costume, this means the ability to correctly combine all its elements into a single whole to create a harmonious image. The harmonization of the form of the costume is facilitated by the knowledge of the basic laws of the composition.

Proper use of composition tools in model development − good choice the shape and lines of the suit, a well-thought-out combination of texture, color and pattern of the material can largely determine the final decision of the buyer to purchase this or that product. Acquaintance with the basic patterns and means of composition used in practice when creating various models of a suit will help the buyer to more correctly evaluate the proposed product and choose clothes in accordance with his individual appearance.

Clothing design implies the obligatory consideration of the purpose and conditions of use of the model being developed. The suit should be comfortable, practical and beautiful. Therefore, its shape, constructive solution, choice of finishing material and color are subject to two main functions - aesthetic and practical. It is important to note that we are talking about the design and development of clothing for the mass buyer, i.e. if I may say so clothes "practical".

One of the patterns of composition is a clear relationship between the shape of the costume and the nature of its individual elements and details. All elements of the suit shape should have common properties, for example, if the product has a straight shape with clear contours, then all details, buttons, trims, etc. should have the same lines.

suit form

The shape of the suit has three projections: profile, frontal, transverse. Profile projection - the perception of the costume in profile, frontal - in front, transverse - the intended horizontal articulation of the form at various points of the figure.

The shape of the suit is characterized by certain parameters. The main ones are the silhouette, proportions, dimensions, mass, material, color, etc. The form is expressive only when its silhouette is clearly identified, the accuracy of proportional relationships separate parts, rhythmic structure of details, harmony of color ratios.

Suit silhouette

The silhouette best expresses the shape of the suit. Silhouettes are distinguished by the degree of fit to the figure (adjacent, semi-adjacent, free, extended or narrowed downwards) and by geometric appearance (rectangular, trapezoidal, oval, X-shaped).
Through various combinations of trapezoid, rectangle and oval, you can express all the variety of shapes. The dominant form in the ensemble is usually one form, to which all the main parts of the costume are subordinate. This is the so-called geometrically generalized symbol that determines the shape of the costume. Changing the shape of a suit over time is associated with the concept of stability and mobility of its elements. Some features of the form change faster, others slower (the structure of the material).
The regularity of the composition of the form is the subordination of its parts. The form must be correctly organized from the point of view of tectonics, which is expressed primarily through proportions: the divisions of the form are the boundaries of its parts.

Suit plastic

One of the important patterns of form organization are the principles of plasticity and rhythm. Plasticity is understood as gradualness in the transition from one part of the form to another. The plasticity of the costume is revealed thanks to the fabric: the direction of movement of the folds of the flounces, constructive and decorative lines, forms the “movement” of the form. When separate parts of the form are combined with each other according to the principle of contrast, geometrically clear elements are used along with plastic curvilinear ones, but even in this case the principle of harmonious subordination of the whole and its parts must be observed.

Design lines of the suit

The shape of the costume is created by constructive solution and pairing of individual volumes or elements. The lines along which this pairing occurs are called constructive. These include: connecting seams, reliefs, undercuts, tucks, etc. If these lines are decoratively decorated (cord, embroidery, braid, etc.), then they are called constructive-decorative. There are also simply decorative lines in the form of stripes, embroidery, lace, hems, etc.

The whole variety of lines according to their style can be divided into three groups: straight lines; curves with a constant radius of curvature (circles and arcs); curves with a variable radius of curvature (parabolas and spirals).
Straight lines, both internal and silhouette, are used to create sportswear, business suits, workwear, and children's clothing. Straight "stiff" lines in work clothes of a spacious cut evoke a sense of composure, efficiency. In children's costumes, the coquettes, as a rule, are of a straight shape, and the pockets and aprons are in the form of a part of a circle; these products are decorated with ornaments in the form of cubes, peas - simple geometric shapes accessible to the perception of the child.
For an evening dress, curvilinearity, complex draperies, and an oblique cut are more often used. These lines - parabolas - are dynamic, they express accelerated or slow movement, since they are based on rhythmic repetition.
Any complex curve actually consists of segments corresponding to the lines of one of the three groups mentioned above. The delineation of the silhouette of the suit is achieved more or less complex lines. At the same time, technological and wet-heat treatment of the product also gives the line a certain configuration.

So, the plasticity of the shape of the costume depends on the proportions of its individual volumes, lines, constructive processing of products.

Rhythm in costume composition

In the plastic form, dynamic lines, silhouette, the rhythmic structure of the product is manifested. Each costume has a certain rhythmic solution, taking into account its purpose, the age of the person for whom it is intended, and other features.

The simplest manifestation of rhythm in a costume is the repetition of the same element at regular intervals. This rhythm is called metric. At the heart of the rhythmic constructions of the costume are proportional relationships. Therefore, the use of rhythm requires a sense of proportion, beyond which there is a feeling of monotony and monotony.
A complex metric series can be built on several values, repeated at regular intervals. Most of the striped fabric compositions are based on this principle.
According to the scheme of organization of elements in a suit, a rhythmic or metric series can have vertical, horizontal, spiral, radial, radial, parallel, combined directions.

Thus, the manifestations of rhythm in the costume are very diverse. The rhythmic organization of its various elements is an important means for creating a holistic image, therefore it is referred to the laws of the compositional construction of the costume.

Proportion in the composition of the costume

The organization of the costume form according to the principle of rhythm and plasticity is subject to the main proportional pattern. When perceiving the form of clothing as a whole, we compare some of its parts with others. It is possible to compare, compare volumes, characteristics of textures of materials, the size of color spots, etc. A positive perception of the ratios of the two compared values ​​indicates their consistency and proportionality.

The simplest type of consistency is identity, i.e., complete similarity (equality, repetition) of areas, lines, textures, colors. However, it should be borne in mind that repeated repetition of individual elements quickly causes fatigue and dulls perception. Small differences in lines, areas are defined as contrast ratios. Their sharp expressiveness requires strict alignment of the compared parts, taking into account certain patterns.

The characteristic ratios of the parts of the suit are 7/8 (short coat and skirt), 3/4 (sleeve); the length of miniskirts is 1/3 of the length of clothing, sweaters or blouses with an overlap of -2/3.
The most common in the costume is the proportion of the "golden section", which is conventionally expressed as 2/3:1/3, or in numerical terms 1.62/1=1/0.62. This proportion arose as a result of the analysis of ratios in various natural forms, the human figure as the most harmonious. Therefore, naturally, it is widely used in costume design.

The shape of the costume can be compositionally organized according to the principles of symmetry or asymmetry. Symmetry can manifest itself in the arrangement of individual elements of the product, accessories, finishes, etc. As a rule, suits for work are created relatively symmetrically. When determining the nature of symmetry, one should remember about the compositional center, which is located in the upper part of the suit shape.

Asymmetry is preferable for smart clothes. The asymmetric arrangement of the elements of the suit must be balanced. For example, if you place the pocket on the right side, then the shawl or scarf tied around the neck should be located on the left side of the dress. When using the principle of asymmetry in clothing, a sense of proportion must be observed.

Shape and silhouette are two main characteristics of fashion that are closely related. Changing in time, they provide movement (change) of fashion. Trying to penetrate the features of the new form, we determine, first of all, its silhouette.

Silhouette in a suit, it is customary to call a planar image of a three-dimensional form. Using such a concept of a silhouette, experts do not mean the absolutely exact shadow of this form on a plane, but its conditional schematized image.

Silhouettes in clothes are classified:

• according to the degree of fit of the product to the figure (semi-adjacent, fitted, adjacent, straight, free, extended),
• according to the type of geometric shape that it can be characterized by or approaches (rectangular, trapezoidal, oval, in the form of two triangles with truncated vertices - X-shaped).

Very often, when characterizing the silhouette, various symbolic, iconic designations of the silhouette are used, emphasizing the main thing in the form of products. This is how silhouettes A, D, X, T, S, V appear - figurative.

The main silhouettes are determined according to the principle of relation to the figure (repetition of its forms, approximation and contrast):

• fitted (with different volumes of the upper and lower parts of the product),
• adjacent (with varying degrees of fitting),
• semi-adjacent,
• straight (with more or less freedom of fit),
• extended (trapeze, A - silhouette).

Fitted silhouette. Products of this silhouette are characterized by a snug fit at the waist. At the same time, the volume of the upper part of the product can be different - from a tight-fitting, repeating the shape of the body, to a very free one.

In contrast to the semi-adjacent silhouette, where the position of the waist line is relatively indefinite, in this case the waist is always indicated quite accurately. The position of the waist line has slight fluctuations (1.5 -3.0 cm up or down).

adjoining silhouette characterized by the maximum fit of the product in the chest, waist and hips. The waist line in this case can be emphasized with darts or a belt. The fit of the butt end of the product is achieved embossed seams, or chest and waist darts.

Semi-adjacent silhouette occupies an intermediate position between low-volume straight and fitted silhouettes. It is characterized by a softer fit along the chest line than in the fitted version, a loose fit in the waist and hips, a calm extension downwards, sometimes barely noticeable. The waist line on the product does not always correspond to its position on the figure - it can be located above or below its natural position. In general, the semi-adjacent silhouette repeats the outlines of the figure, but does not fully reveal it.

Straight silhouette characterized by a rectangular geometric shape and is offered in several versions:

• a narrow rectangle (which is typical for products with a straightened shoulder line),
• expanded rectangle,
• a square with truncated upper corners (products of this silhouette are voluminous in the area of ​​the shoulder and chest girdle, have a rounded, elongated shoulder line).

Extended silhouette resembles the shape of a trapezoid. In different periods of time, this type of silhouette can be represented by varying degrees of volume - from moderate to sufficiently voluminous forms. Products of this silhouette can be free along the entire length or fixed with a belt at the waist. Modern solution trapezoidal silhouette - a moderate shoulder line and a slight extension to the bottom.

It should be noted that individual characteristics of clothing - the shape of the shoulders, their height, the length of the shoulder seams, the cut of the sleeves, the height of the waist and hips, the length of the product are determined by the silhouette, its proportions and reflect the most important features of the product shape.

The form of the product becomes expedient and expressive with its aesthetically competent solution: the clarity of the silhouette, the accuracy of the proportions of the parts of the costume, the conformity of the color scheme of the product to its purpose.

What is a silhouette in clothes?

A silhouette is a planar image, an outline of an object. In clothing, the silhouette is determined by the position of the shoulders (their height and width), the degree of fitting, as well as the fit along the line of the chest, waist and hips. Very important factors are the total length of the product and its individual elements (for example, sleeves), as well as the degree of expansion downwards.

Silhouette solutions change with the development of fashion. Therefore, all the most significant modifications in clothing can be traced by changing the contours of silhouettes and shapes.

But no matter what unusual options designers offer us, there are several basic silhouettes:

• » fitted
• » adjoining
• » semi-adjacent
• " straight
• » Trapeze (A-line)

Let's take a look at them.

Fitted silhouette

Clothing fits snugly around the waist. At the same time, the volumes of the upper and lower parts of the product can be different - from tight-fitting, repeating the shape of the body (the so-called "hourglass" silhouette), to very loose (the so-called X-silhouette).

The fitted silhouette suits all types of figures, but it is important to choose the right volumes of the top and bottom, depending on the body type.

adjoining silhouette

Clothing fits as close as possible in the chest, waist and hips. The waistline is accentuated with darts, embossed seams or a belt.

This silhouette is not corrective, it emphasizes all the advantages and disadvantages of the figure and can only be recommended for women with an ideal physique.

Semi-adjacent silhouette

The semi-adjacent silhouette follows the outlines of the figure without highlighting it. It is characterized by a small volume along the chest line, fit to the figure, with a slight fit along the waist line.

The degree of fit depends on the figure of the woman. The position of the waist line on the product does not always correspond to its position on the figure, i.e. the waist line on the product may be located above or below its natural position.

The skirt is expanded from top to bottom; the degree of its expansion at the bottom also depends on the figure, and especially on the fullness along the hips.

Straight silhouette

Straight silhouette is a rectangular or square geometric shape of the product. The width of the line of the shoulders and hips is the same. The degree of volume may be different. Often clothes of a straight silhouette have only chest darts or sewn completely without them.

Sometimes there is an oval silhouette, which is essentially a kind of straight silhouette. It is characterized by more rounded shoulders, a slight narrowing down. The widest part falls on the waist or hip area.

A straight silhouette suits many types of figures, but not everyone decorates. If you know some of the subtleties, then you can use it to successfully arrange a problematic figure.

Trapeze Silhouette

A silhouette in which the shape expands from the shoulder line, armhole or line under the bust. The degree of expansion can be different: from moderate to very large. Products of this silhouette can be free along the entire length and not emphasize the waistline. If desired, the waist can be fixed with a belt.

The silhouette draws attention to the upper part of the figure and suits most types of figures, depending on the degree of flaring downwards.

Clothing, without exaggeration, has long become an integral part of the life of each of us. But if in the old days it most often served as nothing more than a cover of the human body, while being as simple as possible, now clothes reflect the essence of a person. It can tell a lot about a person. And with the flow of time, clothes became more and more complicated. Starting from simple loincloths up to the modern concept of a toilet, that is, a collection of clothes, shoes, gloves, various accessories that perfectly complement the image.

With the complication of attire, concepts and silhouettes in clothing became an important element. The word "silhouette" itself has French roots and denotes the outline of an object. But if we are talking about the silhouette in clothes, then regardless of the complexity of the decoration, any clothes can be conditionally represented as a simple geometric figure- rectangle, trapezoid, oval or triangle.

Recently, designers have focused on several types of silhouettes in clothing. The most popular today are a straight, semi-adjacent, fitted and trapezoidal silhouette:

1. Straight silhouette in clothes It has a rectangular geometric shape and is presented in several versions: a narrow and expanded rectangle, as well as a square with truncated upper corners. The straight silhouette is the most versatile, it looks great in clothes regardless of the figure. The width of the clothes of this silhouette in the chest and hips is the same.
2. Semi-adjacent silhouette in clothes It is characterized by a slight fit along the line of the chest, waist, hips and a smooth, sometimes barely noticeable expansion downwards. In general, this silhouette repeats the outlines of the figure, but does not fully reveal it.
3. Fitted silhouette speaks for itself. Clothing has an extended shoulder line, a narrowed waist and bottom of the product.
4. Silhouette of a trapezoid in clothes also has its own characteristics. The main characteristic of the trapezoidal silhouette is the extension from the shoulder line or armhole. Clothing made in this silhouette can be either loose along the entire length or fixed with an elegant belt at the waist. A significant expansion of clothing will be the best solution for tall or women who are in an interesting position.
