How To Pick The Right Dress For Your Body Type

 

    Wrapped, Short, Flared, Fitted, the possibilities are too many to list down, but the right dress can make everything feel just perfect. Everyone has that little black dress hanging in their closet, but let's find out what's the most flattering dress for your body type.

 

 

Rectangle Body Type

     If you have a fairly straight and athletic body, of a rectangle body type a wrap dress can allow you to add curves & highlight your torso. The wrap detail draws attention to your slim waist. The layered effect creates a curvy silhouette for a straight body shape. Flowy bottoms mean volume and can further add to the curvy illusion. Color blocking can highlight your body shape and give you a more defined waist.

Apple Shape

     A full torso and slender legs are the characteristics of an Apple body shape. A-line dresses show off your legs while the volume balances out a heavy upper body. A V-shaped neckline flatters your chest and creates a vertical illusion. A shift dress is perfect for hiding any bulk around your tummy while the short length perfectly complements your slim legs. 

Hourglass shape

    Equally proportionate shoulders and hips with a slim waist are the traits of an hourglass figure. Body-hugging dresses can do wonders for your figure and highlight your curves If a simple fitted dress is not your thing, a slim wrap dress can justify the defining purpose and draw attention to your slim waist.

    Inverted Triangle Shape

 Broad shoulders and a narrow lower body are the classic signs of an inverted triangle body shape. Embellishments and details at the lower end can draw attention away from a wide upper body. Keep the upper half of your dress simple and let the bottom stand out. Ruffles and flowy skirts are the way to go to achieve a voluminous look. And remember, sleeveless dresses do not broaden your shoulders further.

Pear Shape 

     A curvy set of hips with a narrow upper body sums up the Pear body shape. An off-shoulder dress highlights your shoulders and helps to balance the attention toward your upper body. When it comes to choosing the perfect dress, balancing your hips will get you the best results. Wrap dresses will draw attention to your chest thanks to the overlapping detail and the slim-fitting skirt will complement your naturally curvy hips. Use these styling tips and discover dresses that will suit your body shape and accentuate your natural features. Until next time stay tuned

 

Intelligence can't Be Defined By Exams

 "We lose too many talented people by defining intelligence through exam that are wholly inadequate  and  constricting",says Peter Tait

    "Many highly intelligent people are poor thinkers.Many people of average intelligence are skilled thinkers. The power of a car is separate from the way the car is driven",Edward de Bono

    Each year at this time, the pressure increase in the race in colleges and universities in the form of examinations. Confident in our system of examinations,that is broadly designed to separate those more 'intelligent' from the less 'intelligent', we can feel content that we are filtering out our most able for higher education and all the opportunities that entails.

    The problem lies with the word intelligence. The common definition, that of possessing 'a quickness of understanding and an ability to apply knowledge and skills to a high level' - should give us pause to ask how well equipped  our current examination system is to deliver? Many ;intelligent' students, so identified by the data emanating from various intelligence tests(which incidentally too often reinforce teacher expectations), are frustrated by papers that trot out the same questions in a different garb. These allow for little or no original thought and even actively discourage creative thinking and intelligent responses. Simply stated, measuring intelligence through examination is, inevitable, as limited as the examination itself.Whilst it might prove a reasonable sieve - perhaps even the best we can provide - it will not identify many those we instinctively know to be intelligent.
