How the Skittle Shaped Woman Should Dress

Clothes To Look Great for Those With Problem Thighs

Nov 28, 2008 Helen Krasner

Skittle-shaped women are not pear-shaped, but have big upper legs. Many women of this shape try to hide their bodies, but with a little care skittles can look fantastic.

As explained in a previous article on dressing to suit one’s body shape, skittle shaped women have large thighs and chunky calves. Many women with this shape are obsessed with hiding their legs, and forget that the rest of the body looks great. Skittles usually have shapely arms, small waists, and nice ankles, and those parts can easily be emphasized while hiding their legs. So with a little care, and the right clothes, they can look feminine and fantastic.

Principles When Dressing the Skittle Shaped Woman

Many skittles wear shapeless clothes to hide their bodies, but this is quite unnecessary. The skittles need to emphasise her small, feminine, upper body. She can easily do this with pretty tops, fitted jumpers, and feminine fabrics. Then she should wear wide-leg, flat-front trousers that do not cling to her thighs, or a flared skirt which does not emphasize the problem areas. Many skittles are short, so high, chuncky heeled shoes will suit them perfectly.

Overall, the trick is to emphasise the upper parts of the body, which will draw attention away from those thighs and calves. It can be done!

Casual Clothing for the Skittle Shaped Woman

Those with a skittle shape should wear clothes which focus on the shapely upper body, lengthen the legs, and draw attention away from the thighs. So trousers should be flat-fronted and wide-legged, and preferably of a dark colour. They should fall all the way to the heel of the shoe in order to lengthen the leg. Tops can be pretty, clingy, and feminine; this is the area the skittle wants to emphasise, so go for it!

Smart Clothes for the Skittle Shaped Woman

Many skittle-shaped women are scared to expose their legs at all. But the skittle can wear a dress; it just has to be the right one. The top should be fitted, and can have a low neckline and belt to show off the skittle’s bust and waist. The skirt should be of a style that falls in soft folds, since this will create the illusion of smaller thighs. The hemline should always fall below the knee. Chunky calves will look shapelier if covered in toning or fishnet tights, and high heels will complete a wonderful look for the skittle.

A Party Look for the Skittle Shaped Woman

Again, the skittle should concentrate on her top half. She should wear a plain, figure-skimming skirt, then a top or jacket that is fitted and low cut, which shows off her bust and small waist. High heels and pretty jewellery complete the outfit, and never again will the skittle feel that she wants to hide.
