Try on all of your favorite clothes. Take notes on how they fit and flatter you. Then shop for similar colors, fabrics, shapes and lengths. |
A great fit can make an outfit, just as a poor fit can break it! |
A well-cut
suit is one of the most flattering outfits you can own. Remember: dark tones create a long line. |
Select flat knit, fine rib and jersey tops; Choose pants with flapless pockets, flat fronts with just enough stretch for added comfort. |
|
Any color worn head to toe
(monochromatic) in a clean, unbroken line will produce a dynamically slimming effect.
Remember, monochromatic doesn't have to mean boring -- mix textures to keep the look
interesting (i.e. knits with leather) |
The darker a print's background, the slimmer the look. |
A slim v-neck makes the neck appear longer and is usually very flattering. |
Boatnecks are great for minimizing waists and hips, while maximizing sexy shoulders.
Caution: Avoid if you have broad shoulders! |
If your legs are fuller inside, try a side slit. If your legs are fuller outside, a mid-front or back slit is a better choice. |
|
Bright colors bring attention to an area - make sure you wear them wisely and only on your most flattering body parts. |
Make sure that each time you buy a new bra, you
are properly fitted with the help of a sales associate at the lingerie
or department store. Wearing a properly fitted bra makes you look great and feel much more comfortable. |
Proportion can play tricks on the eye. While an oversized handbag makes
a great accessory, a small handbag will make your figure appear larger. Choose a shape that flatters
(ie: square shapes compliment a round figure)
and make sure the strap length doesn't land in a problem area (ie: don't let the
bottom of the purse rest on full hips). |
If you are petite (5'3" or under) make sure you scale everything down
-- smaller prints, pockets, etc. so they don't overpower your figure.
