Dressing for Your Body
Dressing for your body-type is not always easy. It may seem like you struggle to find clothes that make you look your best while your friend can “wear anything.” This is just your perception! Every single person that comes into our store has things they like and dislike about their body. For some dumb reason, we humans tend to focus on our flaws. At Mink, we consider it our job to get you out of that state of mind and help you celebrate your body highlights! And we all do indeed have highlights, no matter our shape!
Below you'll see outlines of body-types. You may be able to directly relate to one of them, or you may feel like you're a combination of more than one. Either way, it’s okay. Just take note of what shape you relate to on the TOP half of your body and what shape you relate to on the BOTTOM half of your body.
