We’ve all heard that we should dress for our body type.
But sometimes, it’s hard to know what it really means.

A style expert and beauty lover named Jen de Oliviera, who goes by @jendeolive on TikTok, has gained a following of nearly 300,000 users on the platform thanks to her fashion finds and lifestyle tips.
She said women can make themselves look thinner based on what they wear — and she went through several different body types and clothing examples to make the process easy.
“If you want to use your clothes to help you look slimmer, follow this simple rule based on your body type.”
As a rule, she said to emphasize your smaller area.
CLOCK CLOCK AND PEAR SHAPED
Many women have an hourglass or pear-shaped body.
This means they have a smaller waist and upper body, and a curvier lower body – with wider hips and bigger legs.
“Make your waistline the focal point.
High-waisted skirts and belts are a great way to do this.
She teamed a white blouse with high-waisted belted olive pants, which were very flattering.
SQUARE SHAPE
Other women have a square-shaped body with a less defined waist.
“Using a belt or dresses to create shape is ideal.”
Wearing a black wrap dress that cinched at the navel, Jen created the illusion of a waist.
USED TRIANGLES
The opposite of a pear-shaped body is the inverted triangle shape.
This means you have broad shoulders and thin legs.
“Show off those legs with a loose top and leggings.
“You can also create a waist by tucking a small part of your shirt into the bottom.”
Viewers were grateful for the tip:
“Great advice as always,” one person wrote.
“You are so cute! Love your classy content! Thank you,” added another.
