What to Wear to Rock Your Body Type this 4th of July

One of the beauties of being a woman is that we come in all different shapes and sizes, but that can also be one of the challenges when it comes to figuring out what looks best on your body. The constant barrage of questions in our minds is sometimes never-ending. Does this work on my body? Does this look right on me? Is this a style I can wear that will flatter my shape? You know what they say, sometimes the harshest words we hear each day are inside our own heads. We take our mission of helping women embrace their own beauty and power very seriously here at Evereve. We truly believe that every woman should feel beautiful and confident in the clothes that she puts on each day, and we are here to help you figure out how to dress for your body type. With the Fourth of July right around the corner, we styled four different looks that will help you rock it on the Fourth, whatever your shape.

Tee | Shorts | Sandals

This look is perfect if you have a larger bust or broad shoulders. The Sanctuary Stateside Tee is a fantastic option for you because the cutout and v-neck help break up the neckline. The cutout will be your best friend because it draws the eyes to the shoulder and away from the bust. Another huge bonus is that this shirt is 100% bra friendly. The best part is this versatile tee comes in five different colors and a brand new striped version in a great rust red that would be perfect for the Fourth. Another thing that we love about this all-star tee is that the v-neck is low enough to help break up the line of the shoulder, but will not leave you feeling like you are baring it all. The shirt skims the body but doesn’t hug, so it helps define your shape without clinging to you. And if we had to describe these shorts in one word it would be STRETCHY. They have the same waistband as the Sanctuary Peace Trooper pants and you know that means comfort without the dreaded muffin top.

If you carry your weight in your mid-section, your goal should be to create definition at your waistline. Let us introduce you to your new best friend—the Sunday in Brooklyn Gather Tank. This shirt is perfect because the twist at the waist helps create the illusion of a defined waistline without having to fuss with the tuck-in. The twist works in tandem with the slight wrap of the tank to help move the eye across your body, and we all love a vertical stripe to help elongate and lengthen the torso. When you combine that with the open V of the neckline, you have maximize the length of your torso and who doesn’t want that? You can pair it with our new favorite denim skirt and you are ready to go. We love the shirttail hemline of this skirt because it provides a little more length than a standard mini and the distressing gives it just enough edge to make it cool. The skirt has great stretch and give so we recommend buying your regular size.

If you have a rectangle body shape, then you know the key is to break up those straight up and down lines by creating a waist. This outfit delivers on that three fold. First, this wrap skirt is a great waist definer and the best part is that it is less than $50! It will be your go-to skirt because the tie waist gives you a little bit of play and can be tied tighter or looser depending on your waistline. Another key to defining the waist is to show it off by tucking in your shirt. This Michael Stars Scoop Neck Tank is up to the task because it is lightweight enough that you can tuck it in without it adding bulk to your waistline. For that final step of creating your hourglass figure, add a great jacket to your outfit. By adding a jacket that hits you right at the waist, you are helping to break up the line of your body. This Kut from the Kloth denim jacket has amazing detailing and the seaming in the front and the back will help create that hourglass shape. Bonus points that it is a great value, too!

If you carry your weight in your lower half, draw the eye up with a statement top and lengthen your legs with an interesting hem detail. These Articles of Society jeans are perfect because the cutout in the front helps make your legs appear longer. Pair them with this great wedge from Sam Edelman and you will have legs for DAYS! To draw the eye up, pick a top that has the detail that can make people take notice. Anything off the shoulder is going to do just that. You are definitely going to want to add this off-the-shoulder top from Allison Joy to your summer wardrobe if you are looking for a great, easy to wear summer top. Add the ruffle detail, the on-trend fringe hem and an elongating stripe and you have a definite staple of your summer closet.
