What Should I Wear Today? Start With Your Shape.

What Should I Wear Today? Start With Your Shape.

We’ve all had that moment—standing in front of the wardrobe, surrounded by clothes, and feeling like there’s nothing to wear. It’s not about how much you have—it’s about knowing what works for you. Once you understand your body shape, getting dressed becomes less of a guessing game and more of a confidence boost.

At CURRNT, we don’t chase trends. We help you find what fits you. Because when you know what suits your shape, you stop hiding and start owning it. Whether you're off to a meeting, brunch, or just need to feel like you’ve got this, the right outfit can shift your whole day.


Let’s Talk Body Shape

Every woman’s body tells a different story. Some of us are curvier, some more streamlined—but we all deserve to feel amazing in our clothes. The key? Proportion. Balance. And a little styling know-how.

Most body shapes fall into five categories:

  • Apple

  • Pear

  • Rectangle

  • Hourglass

  • Inverted Triangle

Knowing yours helps you shop smarter and dress with intention. Not to hide—but to highlight your best bits.

Want help figuring yours out? Book a CURRNT Styling Session — we’ll break it down with you.


Dressing the Apple

If you carry weight around your middle, but have great legs or a full bust—your shape is likely apple.

What works:

  • V-necklines to open up your frame

  • Flowy fabrics that don’t cling

  • A-line dresses and skirts to balance your shape

  • Structured jackets to define and elongate

Think soft around the tummy, tailored elsewhere. The goal? Draw the eye upward and lengthen your lines.

Complete the look with makeup that enhances your features and elevates your style—whether it’s subtle or bold, our Perfect Finish makeup session is designed to tailor every detail to you.


Dressing the Pear

If your hips are fuller than your shoulders, and you have a smaller bust—you’re likely pear-shaped.

What works:

  • Bold tops: ruffles, volume, patterns

  • Light or bright colours up top, darker tones below

  • A-line or wide-leg trousers that skim the hips

  • Dresses that cinch the waist and flow out

Balance is key here—build volume on top to even out your silhouette. And don’t be afraid of form-fitting pieces. It’s all about where they hug.

Our wardrobe consultations help you decode your closet—and fill in the gaps with purpose.


Dressing the Rectangle

If your waist isn’t super defined and your bust, waist and hips are similar—hello rectangle.

What works:

  • Belts to create definition

  • Wrap dresses and tie-waists

  • Cropped jackets and peplum details

  • Pants or skirts with pleats or gentle flare

Your body is a great base for building shape. Layer, cinch, contrast—create the illusion of curves with a few key pieces.

Not sure what colours will work best with those detailed tops and jackets? Our True Colours Consultationhelps you discover your most flattering shades—so your wardrobe works even harder for you.


It’s More Than Just Clothes

This isn’t about fixing your body. It’s about understanding it—so you can dress in a way that feels aligned, confident, and completely you.

When your outfit feels good, you feel good. You walk differently. Show up differently. Even a quick lipstick swipe can shift your whole energy.

So take the time. Try the things. Give yourself permission to wear the dress, the jeans, the bold earrings. Let your clothes work with your shape—not against it.


Confidence Starts With You

Trends come and go. What’s always in style? Confidence. The kind that comes from knowing what suits you and showing up unapologetically in it.

Your body is not the problem—your wardrobe just needs to catch up. And if you need help with that, CURRNT is here for it.
