Natural types look best in “ease” and “natural fabrics”
Natural types have prominent bones and joints at the wrists and knees. Close fits and shiny fabrics make them look bony; relaxed silhouettes, natural fabrics such as linen, and larger accessories make them look slimmer.
Of the three types, Natural handles tropical weather best. Breathable natural fabrics suit you most, so you stay comfortable even at 80% humidity.
