Hourglass Figure: How to Enhance It Best

The hourglass silhouette is synonymous with timeless elegance, a symbol of femininity celebrated by cinema icons like Sophia Loren, Marilyn Monroe, and Liz Taylor. These women were masters at showcasing their figures, selecting clothing and accessories that highlighted their natural femininity. Get inspired by these icons and discover how simple it is to emphasize your hourglass silhouette with Mason's pieces.

This body type, defined by a slim waist and proportionate shoulders and hips, deserves to be highlighted with the right pieces. In this article, we’ll explore the best style tips to enhance your figure, suggesting two iconic pieces from Mason's: the Victoria cargo pants and Adele blouse. Thanks to these carefully tailored choices, you’ll be able to highlight your curves with elegance, whether in everyday life or special occasions.

What to avoid and what to choose for an hourglass silhouette:

When it comes to fashion for the hourglass shape, it’s important to balance your curves and maintain a harmonious figure. Some garments may conceal or weigh down the waistline, while others perfectly enhance your proportions. Here are key tips on what to wear and what to avoid:

What to avoid:
- Low-rise pants and culottes: Low-rise styles tend to visually widen the hips and can distort proportions. Cropped pants or culottes also break the natural line of the legs, making them look shorter and less elongated.
- Outerwear without waist definition: Jackets and coats without a belt or waist structure tend to flatten the silhouette, hiding one of the hourglass shape’s main assets.
What to choose:
- High-waisted pants and skirts: A high waist helps define the waistline and creates a visual effect that harmoniously enhances the hips and shoulders.
- Shirts and tops with V-necks: The V-neckline is ideal for highlighting the décolleté subtly while also adding a lengthening effect.
- Dresses and blouses that highlight the waist: Wearing shirts, tops, or dresses that cinch at the waist is a fantastic choice for hourglass figures. Tying a shirt or top at the side is another effective trick to emphasize proportions.

Refined casual look with the Victoria pants: style and comfort for everyday life

The Victoria cargo pants from Mason's are designed for hourglass-shaped women who want to highlight their waist without sacrificing comfort. These cargo pants, made from high-quality gabardine, feature a straight fit that follows the natural line of the legs. The high waist and the more fitted upper part create a slimming effect and accentuate the waist, a signature feature of this body type. The relaxed leg falls smoothly, ensuring comfort and freedom of movement.

For an elegant daily look, wear the Victoria pants with a fitted turtleneck or a blouse tucked into the pants. This style is perfect for those wanting to maintain a streamlined look and accentuate the waist. Complete the look with medium-heeled shoes or luxury sneakers for a refined yet practical outfit.

The Adele blouse: a touch of shine and class

For formal occasions or to add a refined touch to your everyday look, the Adele blouse from Mason's is a perfect choice. Made from lurex viscose, this blouse has a subtle shimmer that adds charm and elevates even a simple outfit. The V-neck highlights the décolleté without excess, while the length and cut are ideal for tucking into pants to create a sleek, harmonious silhouette.

 

The Adele blouse is designed for women who want to feel elegant and comfortable: the soft fabric naturally adapts to the body, and the long sleeves add a touch of sophistication. Pair it with the Victoria pants for a look that combines femininity and versatility, perfect for a business meeting or an evening out.

With Mason's pieces, it’s easy to highlight the beauty of the hourglass figure with class and ease. The Victoria pants and Adele blouse are designed for women who seek an elegant and versatile look that suits both daily life and special events. Wear these pieces to feel confident and valued, just like the icons of the past. Face every occasion with style and femininity, with Mason's accompanying your every step.
