How to be a Fashion Forward Endomorph!

It may be tougher to be a sleek, sexy, fashion forward endomorph – but – it’s far from impossible!

It’s not the endomorph’s fault, of course! What can one do when the fashion industry is just not interested in catering to the unique needs of your body type? It leaves a poor endomorph vulnerable to believing that the  advertising that inundates you from all sides – is meant for you, as well!

Beware! Just the opposite is true!

The endomorph body type – perhaps a little shorter, a little thicker, a little smaller across the shoulders and a little wider across the hips – deserves special attention in order to achieve their full fashion potential.

And, that potential is limitless! A fit and fabulous gives any skinny ectomorph more than a run for their money – but – like any ectomorph – must dress with their body shape in mind!

Here’s a few tips and guidelines to help the endomorphic body type safely navigate the dangerous fashion traps and temptations that lay in wait for them at every turn!

Heels, heels, heels, girls! In the shoe department – heels are good – higher heels are even better! What a wonderful and fun way to elongate your body. Use it to your advantage. Remember – an ectomorph has no way to make herself shorter! While all heels are heaven, an endomorph may prefer a pump or a sling back to ankle straps or strings – which tend to shorten the line of the leg.

Darker is always better, but if you like a splash of color – the general rule is to wear it on top or as an accessory. It is a known fact (at least it ought to be a known fact) that darker colors are slimming whereas bright colors – just aren’t. Based on an endomorph body type – where a lack of cleavage is not usually an issue – it’s best to highlight these, um, assets – placing them in the best possible light (color), be it green, orange, blue, or pink – and drawing the appreciative eye upwards.

A colorful scarf, purse, jacket, jewelry – or footwear – add accent. And attitude!

Short, tight tops? Never, ever, ever! Unless…The greatest disservice an endomorph body type can do itself is to don any make or model  of short shirt, top, or tee without a sleek sweater or body skimming jacket on top! Tacky turns into sexy and alluring – instantly!

Wide-Legged Pants/Jeans: Nothing balances the wider endomorph hips than a wider legged – or bell-bottomed pant. You rarely see a well-put-together endomorph wearing straight-legged or – heaven forbid – stove pipe pants! They do absolutely nothing except draw the eye down – towards the hips – NOT the best strategy for any endomorph!

Yes! Swim suits can be sexy on the endomorph body! Very, VERY sexy, indeed: A higher cut leg to elongate. A plunging neckline to accentuate. A flattering color to intrigue. The rest nature provides.

A fashion forward endomorph just has to know what’s best for her body.

Don’t be afraid to experiment and try something new and exciting! Simply keep in mind the power points of dressing your unique body – and get out there and knock ‘em dead!
