What can I wear to best suit my shape?
I am young woman who does a lot of sport and feel that fashion tips for difficult body shapes have totally bypassed my predicament. I have trouble knowing what best suits my shape as I have found no help anywhere!
I am 5ft 5ins tall and my measurements are 32, 24, 32 (so I am slim with a definite waist which is by the way quite short). My thigh circumference however is almost 60cm due to playing lots of sports such as football, skiing regularly, hiking, cycling and riding horses. This has resulted in very muscular thighs which will only fit into size 12 or 14 trousers and shorts. However, the waistband is then huge so the sorts of tops I can wear with trousers are limited. Can anyone help me?
If you can afford it, buy size 12-14 trousers and get the waist taken in by a tailor. You might find it cheaper or more convenient to ask someone you know or learn to do it yourself.
Pencil skirts might work for you too, as long as they’re not too narrow at the bottom. A-line skirts will definitely be fine.
If you tend to dress quite casually, look for those camouflage print trousers with the drawstring, there have been lots in UK shops recently (not sure where you live, assuming you live in the UK as you mentioned size 12 despite being quite slim) and they’ll fit around your waist without being too tight across the thighs.
You could also try some flowing tops or ones with ruffles/layers to balance out your figure.
