STYLE TIPS
Different designs and cuts suit different shapes. Dressing well is all about accentuating the positive and disguising those less-than-perfect areas. We’ve put together a list of tips that will help you find the right pieces for you. It’s important to feel both comfortable and confident in what you’re wearing but you definitely don’t have to compromise on style. Buying the right clothing for your body shape will not only make you look better, but will also make you feel better. - Here are some tips for helping you find the right pieces for you:
- Wearing oversized clothes can actually make you look larger so opt for pieces that fit well in order to show off your assets. Buying everything a size larger only adds bulk. Choosing pieces that accentuate the positive is definitely a better way to go.
- Women of all sizes can wear vibrant colours, don’t just stick to black and navy. Darker colours are definitely good for minimizing problem areas but by adding colours and patterns you create interest, brighten your complexion and even lift your mood.
- For larger hips and tummy, a bootleg pants cut will balance out your silhouette and lengthen your legs. If your tummy and hips are smaller, a pant that tapers slightly will highlight leaner legs. This also applies when choosing skirts. If your hips and tummy are larger, a skirt that flips or flares slightly at the bottom is flattering for your shape.
- Accessories are great for pulling an outfit together. They add interest and can help extend the versatility of garments. Keep in mind the proportion of the accessories you choose as the right pieces can definitely compliment your shape and enhance your ensemble.
- V-necks are great for drawing attention to the face and elongating your neck. They are particularly flattering if you have a larger bust as a v-neck has a minimizing effect. The same applies for wrap tops and dresses, which combine a v-neck with an angular design that will show off your waist.
- Layering is a good trick for a more flattering look. A cami under and open shirt or longer singlet under a crop jacket will give your body extra length as it creates vertical lines that give the illusion of a thinner frame.
- Wearing a supportive bra in your correct size will make a world of difference. It not only supports you properly and makes clothes fit better, it also gives you better posture, which makes you look taller and thinner.
