Body Type 3: the Hourglass
The hourglass is body types that represent classic Hollywood beauties like Salma Hayek and Halle Berry. These body types have a small waist and a proportioned upper and lower body.

Hourglass figures should go for jersey dresses paired with a pair of high heeled boots and footless danskin leggings tucked inside.

However, make sure that if you choose shorts, the length must go above mid-thigh. This is to create the illusion of length when it comes to your legs.
