Do you know where your natural waistline is? Lauren Festa educates on the finer points of the waistline.  Maximize this little area. Do not cover it up! All you need is a little education in waistlines. There are good options for pants and skirts to coincide with your body type. There are actually a number of waistline categories, which will be discussed in this article, including dropped, classic, empire and low rise. You may have heard of some of these terms and cringed at least one of them (Low rise? Really?), but each line has its own purpose and each one can and should work for you. It’s all about choosing the right pants or skirt. Finding Your Waist It may be hard to believe, but many women don’t know exactly where their own waist is. It’s not below your bellybutton or right under your bust line. Reach for your bellybutton then go up about two inches and stop! That is where your natural waistline is located. If you look straight on in a mirror, you can actually see where your torso goes in and comes out. The natural waistline should always be the reference point when dressing for any of the waistline types. Classic Pants and skirts that accentuate a classic waistline are those that are made to sit right on it. They are sized according to a woman’s natural waistline (usually in inches). It’s the narrowest part of the body, between the ribs and hips. For women with a natural hourglass figure, dressing for their natural waistline creates a visual balance. Those who have wider hips should avoid the classic waist, as it tends to accentuate and actually make the hip area appear wider. |
