Clothes for an Athletic/Boyish Figure
Athletic figures are known for their body straightness, due to long toned limbs, an undefined waist and very few curves. These are the women that can fit into damn well anything, the Miss Perfections of society. From skinny jeans to stylish dresses to halter neck tops, you can wear them all, as they go perfect with your toned shoulders and limbs. However, like most women who want what they don’t have, athletic figures always miss not having curves, but with the right style of dress, the illusion of curves can be acheived.
Floaty fabrics are brilliant for this figure, as it flows with your movements and doesn’t cling to you, which prevents you from appearing flat. A tulip shaped skirt/dress always looks good too, providing the top half of your body is kitted out in fitted clothing. This helps to define the hips and create the impression of curves.
When it comes to dresses, always avoid wrap style dresses (as they tend to cling) and go for something that is fitted fairly tight around your top half, but with a flared (A line) skirt to it. Strapless dresses with a sixties flared skirt are always a good choice, because you get to show off your well defined shoulders, as well as giving yourself some luscious curves.
The colour dress you choose can be fairly flexible (as anything looks good on the athletic figure), it just depends on how noticeable you wish to be!!! Here is a prime example of the perfect dress for an athletic figure off of Zeleb:
