What Clothes fit my Softened Straight Body Shape?

This is a modified version of the Straight Body type, having the same straight shoulder line but a more defined waist. Princess Caroline of Monaco has square shoulders but her small waist means she looks most exciting when she wears softer skirts. Madonna is a Softened Straight Body type too.

While the Softened Straight shape follows much of the advice on fabric and cut given for the Straight Body type, she can make more of her defined waist. Belts are her key accessory. The greater difference between her waist and hips — 7 inches (18 cm) or more — means she will need a little more easing in her waistlines for skirts and trousers, with inverted pleats and soft gathers used in moderation (at the sides of the tummy) for best results. The sarong style is great on her.

Unlike her curved counterpart she will keep fabrics, designs and cuts more defined. Tight to moderately woven weaves are better than very loose ones which won’t make the most of her essentially straight lines. Double-knits in simple neat designs are great on the softened Straight shape, as is wool crepe for suits or dresses. Jersey fabrics in simple cuts without too much volume are also flattering as they allow both definition (at the waist where you want it) and movement — important for all women where they are curvy.

For jackets, fitted cuts make the most of a Softened Straight Body but if you like more relaxed designs, the simple, unstructured jacket nipped in with a belt or left open to show off your waist is a good option.
