The document provides fashion tips for dressing based on two main body shapes: pear and apple. For pear shapes, it recommends bold colors and prints to draw attention away from the hips and thighs, necklines that broaden the shoulders like boat necks or V-necks, tops with wide sleeves, the right length shirts and skirts, dresses, and bold accessories. For apple shapes, it suggests drawing attention away from the middle, emphasizing the bust, showing off legs, choosing the right material, shorts, and shoes.

2. INTRODUCTION
 The simple fact is, whatever your body shape or size, not
every item of clothing is going to suit you.
 All of us have parts of our bodies that we want to hide and
other parts that need to be flaunted.
 If you wish to dress well, you need to dress with your body
shape in mind. This is the foundation of great style. Style is
about aesthetics and balance.
 But how can you create a well-balanced silhouette if you
don't know what shape your body is? If you don't know this,
you will wear the wrong clothes for your body shape. Your
body will likely look unbalanced
