With the round body shape, you have the oval appearance of being round, especially in the torso area, with an undefined waist and a large stomach.

Generally for the round body figure there is weight dispersed evenly around the body to give it that round look.
There are two types of round body shapes : Oval and Diamond. The difference between these shapes are that the stomach sits lower for the oval body figure and it sits higher for the diamond body figure.

The main style guidelines for both these shapes remain the same.

Choosing clothes that will help this figure:

• Well adjusted bra

• Semi fitted or loose fitted clothing

• Support underwear

• low necklines

• Emphasize the face and shoulder area by wearing dangling earrings and necklaces.

• tops and dresses that flow through the waist line

• straight and slightly flared skirts

• Straight and flat-fronted pants.

• Wearing black is always slimming

Things to avoid:

• Garments that cling to your body

• Overly-fitted clothing

• Fabric with too much pattern

• High necklines

• Large lapels

• Belts

• Pleats

• Narrow or tapered skirts or pants

• Tucked in tops.

• Sleeveless tops

• Items with large strips particularly horizontal stripes.

• Shoes with ankle straps as they make ankles look thick.
