What is the ideal shirt for your body shape?
A classic tailored shirt should be a cornerstone of your working wardrobe, so finding the perfect fit is extra important. And while many people consult the trends, they don’t consider their body shape when choosing one. Not sure which styles suit which? Follow our mini guide that reveals how to choose the shirt based on your shape.
Boyish
Good news for the flat chested: you can easily get away with this season's best shirt trends: ruffles, frills and pie crust collars will fill out your frame and create the illusion of curves.

Hourglass
If you're smaller at the waist than your boobs and hips, then a classically tailored shirt is for you - one that nips in at the waist and fits the body snugly. Wear yours tucked in with a few buttons undone at the neck to complement your shape best.

Top Heavy
Bigger on your top half? Then buttons are probably your worst enemy as they're difficult to keep closed! Go for a loose open-neck style for a fluidly chic look.

Pearshape
Pear shape = small on the top, wide on the hips. The best shirt to suit? An oversized, straight up and down shirt, that will add shape to your top half and skim over wide hips for a streamlined silhouette.
