How to look slimmer with clothes: choosing colors, prints, lengths and volumes

Everything about color and prints is relevant not only for women, but also for men. These are choices based on common settings – color and linearity of appearance. Adequate sizing and playing with oversize are also universal options.

Stylist

Modern closet strategies should be based on awareness and a personalized approach. Only then will they be successful. Of course, there are textbook pieces – basics that everyone would be better off knowing. But without the secret ingredient – individuality – they will only remedy the situation in the most general terms.

How to work consciously and for personalized results?

The first point is coloristry. Here it is immediately necessary to deal with the classic of the genre – black. Those who are dissatisfied with their bodies often pack it in. Typical female outfit: black skinny jeans, turtleneck, jacket a couple sizes smaller….

The last item is a different story, but also from the category of “classics”. The mechanisms are slightly different, but in some ways similar. In both cases, we are dealing with illusions.

A jacket two sizes smaller is a partial disappearance. Black is a total disappearance. And it works. But there’s no miracle. A man in black just attracts less attention. He doesn’t look slimmer.

The main task is to create a harmonious picture with the help of color, which will be beautiful regardless of the size of the canvas. And the trick is that these very sizes are somehow leveled out by themselves with this approach.

How does it work? Natural color settings are used. The girl surrounds herself with colors that continue her nature. And already in this set, she finds ways to redistribute shades, arrange accents, etc.

For example, if you are blonde, you should surround yourself with light colors. Whatever the size of the clothes, in such a decision you will look fresher, younger and slimmer. But, of course, in addition to color, there are other nuances.

Print

The stripe is also a canonical theme. Allegedly it pulls out and slims everyone. But here, too, we are dealing with a common approach. This print may not suit you – it may not support your natural line. Again, we can build a trick, but we’ll hardly get the magic.

The magic is in supporting your natural lines. Some people are more suited to polka dots, while others are perfect with watercolor flowers. By placing the appearance on an adequate background, we will get harmony.

You can learn about the type of your natural lines by determining the style type by Dwin Larson. It is also realistic and just scrutinize the reflection in the mirror. See with what prints are synonymous with the lines of your appearance.

Lengths

An important point from the “common” is the wrong lengths of clothing. A mid-knee length dress (skirt) (and slightly above/below) will split any figure into several parts. This is not good at any size, as it harms the proportions. If you want to visually slim down, it is very bad, because correctly built proportions and a single vertical – the most important tools here.

Either we choose the length of the mini – to the middle of the thigh or slightly below. Or we bet on midi. It is a variant strongly below the knee, preferably – to the middle of the calf. With lengths “something between” and maxi should be careful. Maxi is more suitable for tall girls. Similar principles should be used when choosing outerwear.

Adequate lengths of jackets, fur coats, sheepskin coats:

• up to the waist (worn with wide jeans, midi skirts);
• up to the middle of the thigh;
• below the knee, up to the middle of the calf.

Volumes

Relationship with oversize is a personal matter for everyone. Despite the relevance, it and is not perceived by everyone, and goes not everyone. But what is definitely important to cultivate in yourself is a dislike for its complete opposite – “oblipka”.

The era of skinnies is over. It’s time to stop buying things two sizes smaller. They will not make slimmer, but only clearly show how far you are from your ideal.

If you want to create a working illusion, change your approach. Try to take a size larger jeans … Let them make you feel like you’ve lost a little weight over the past week. Well, it’s been an active vacation….
