Mid-Size Styling: Everything You Need To Know

It can be hard to figure out what clothes look best on your body shape and even harder if you don’t know what shape category you fit into. Most people live under the assumption there are only petite or plus-size categories, which leaves a pretty murky group in the middle – a group the majority of bodies fit into. Well, it turns out it’s called ‘mid-size’, and there are plenty of style rules to consider when shopping for your next look.

What is Mid-Size?

‘Mid-size’ typically refers to body shapes within the sizes of 10-16. Those curvier than straight bodies but not necessarily as built as plus-size proportions. You might also find more variety in where fat and muscle are distributed – some might hold more in their hips and thighs, and others in their arms or bust.

How To Dress a Mid-Size Body?

Being mid-size has more to do with where you sit on the clothing size spectrum and less about what silhouette you have. And with the huge variety of body shapes in this category, it can sometimes make styling a little confusing. But to break it down for you, it’s best to take into account your proportions when looking for new clothes. If you’re a pear shape, you might want tops and dresses that accentuate your bust to help even out your figure, whereas if you’re a strawberry shape, you may want trousers and skirts that accentuate your hips.

Take a look at the body shape guide below to find where you sit.
