Hi First name / friend!
🖤 Let’s Ditch the Style Rules, YOU ARE THE MUSE, NOT THE MISTAKE. This week at The Huntress Society, we’re leaning into something radical: Your body is already good. Your shape is already worthy. Your style is here to reflect your worthiness, not fix it. Understanding your body shape is not about restricting what you wear. It’s about awareness that helps you play with contrast, highlight what you love, and own the room. We are not dressing to hide; we dress to honor. Knowing your body shape is just one (very optional) tool to help you create contrast, the secret sauce!
💡 WHAT THE HECK IS CONTRAST?
Contrast in style refers to visual harmony, which involves combining opposites to create balance, flow, and presence. Think of contrast as the secret styling ingredient that makes someone say, “Wow, she looks amazing”—even if you can’t quite put your finger on why.
Why contrast works:
Contrast draws the eye to areas of your body you want to highlight, creates shape, and adds energy and movement to an outfit. It helps you express different sides of your personality.
- structured + playful
- bold + soft
- feminine + powerful
💭 Contrast isn’t about hiding what you don’t like.
It’s about elevating what you love.
Whether you want to accentuate your waist, elongate your legs, soften your shoulders, or feel more put-together, contrast helps you achieve your goals with intention.
🪞STYLE WITH SOUL: BODY LOVE + BODY SHAPE
Below are TIPs…Style is subjective. WARNING: it isn’t about dressing to your “type”, it's about learning about body shape, which allows you to PLAY with your style and intentionally create YOUR fashion alignment. Pro Tip: No two people have the exact same fashion alignment. It's deeply personal, SO STOP LOOKING AT HOW EVERYONE ELSE IS DRESSING… and find what you love!
🍐 Pear-Shaped Huntress (Wider hips, narrower shoulders)
Body Mantra: “My curves are magnetic, I lead with softness and strength.”
Contrast Tip: Add visual weight or interest to the upper body to balance the lower half.
- Structured jackets or puff-sleeve tops to broaden the shoulders
- Boat necklines or square necks to widen the frame above the waist
- Bright colors or bold textures (silk, satin, denim) on top, with darker or matte fabrics on the bottom.
- Layered necklaces or statement earrings to draw the eye up
- Cropped jackets that hit at the natural waist to define it clearly
🍎 Apple-Shaped Huntress (Fuller midsection, slimmer arms and legs)
Body Mantra: “My center is strong and grounded, my beauty isn’t in hiding, it’s in showing up.”
Contrast Tip: Create length through the torso and build structure below to anchor the look.
- V-necks and plunging collars to elongate the upper body
- Monochromatic dressing with a contrast belt to define the waist gently
- Tunic-length tops with front slits to break up the middle
- Statement shoes or bold hemlines to show off legs
- Flowy tops with structured bottoms like cigarette pants or wide-leg trousers for balance
⏳ Hourglass Huntress (Balanced hips and bust, defined waist)
Body Mantra: “I honor every curve, my shape is sacred.”
Contrast Tip: Accentuate the waist with fitted shapes that flow along natural curves.
- Belted blazers, trench coats, or wrap tops to emphasize curves
- High-waisted trousers with tucked-in tops to visually reinforce the waist
- Color blocking across the bust and hips that meets at the waist
- Smooth, fitted fabrics like Ponte, crepe, or double knit for tailored polish
- Ruched dresses or diagonal draping to echo your natural symmetry
🔲 Rectangle Huntress (Straight frame, subtle curves)
Body Mantra: “I don’t need to add curves, I bring clarity and cool to every space.”
Contrast Tip: Use layering, texture, and volume to create the illusion of shape and movement.
- Peplum tops, tiered skirts, or gathered waists to build volume and definition
- Cinch belts or corset-style layering to add dimension at the waist
- Contrasting textures like leather + knit or satin + denim
- Strategic cut-outs, asymmetrical hems, or diagonal lines for visual movement
- Soft blazers with sharp shoulders to create angles and break up straight lines
💖 Plus/Full-Figured Huntress (Curves across bust, hips, thighs, or all three)
Body Mantra: “My body is a blessing. My curves are art. I dress for joy, not permission.”
Contrast Tip: Celebrate curves with intentional structure, strategic flow, and a balance of elements.
- Fabrics with weight and drape (like crepe, stretch denim, or jersey) that move with you
- Color-blocked dresses that narrow at the waist and widen at the hem or shoulder
- Column dressing with longlines and a contrast jacket or belt
- Cropped jackets or duster cardigans to define length and layers
- Statement accessories at the neckline or ankle to direct the eye confidently
🔮 THE FINAL TRUTH
You are not a fruit. You’re not a formula.
You’re a whole, powerful woman, and your body is not a problem to solve.
You are dressing to TAKE UP SPACE and STAND IN YOUR TRUTH.
Let your clothes support your energy, let contrast reflect your complexity, and let color bring joy to your day.
You deserve to be seen, centered,
and celebrated in everything you wear.
