Understanding clothing types helps you make informed fashion choices. Different necklines, sleeve styles, and silhouettes affect how clothes look on your body. Knowing which styles flatter your shape, suit your lifestyle, and work for different occasions empowers you to build a wardrobe that truly works for you.

How do I find flattering clothing styles for my body?
