We cannot all be super models weighing 12 pounds. Most of us have to deal with that thing called life, which can do real damage to any diet. If you are a full figured woman like I am, there are ways to enhance yourself with outfits.
If you want to look taller and thinner, there are two areas that you need to focus on. The first is the type of clothes you wear. The second is the color of the clothes that go with your outfit. Here is a closer look.
Our focus word when dressing is verticality. We want to create vertical lines, which make you look taller and thinner. Horizontal lines and other designs have the opposite effect. When evaluating a piece of clothing, ask if it enhances the vertical lines in your outfit.
Our first step is to dress in a monochromatic outfit. This essentially means a base of one color. You can create subtle alterations by using shading of the color in question. That being said, tops and bottoms should be the same color.
Okay, one dark color is not going to look so great. To spice things up, try a jacket with color. Go for a solid color without embellishments. Leave the jacket unbuttoned in the front to emphasize the vertical cut and your thinner appearance.
Another accessory that can really add to the look is a scarf. The scarf should be tied loosely around the neck and be long. Let it dangle. Again, it will emphasize the vertical lines of your outfit and enhance the thinning effect of the look.
Many of us full figured women like to wear larger belts. If you are going for a thinner look, this is not a good idea. The belt acts as a horizontal stripe and breaks the effect of the vertical lines of your outfit. Stick to smaller belts if possible.
Skirts are a take it or leave it proposition. Some women love them and some do not. If you do, there is a simple rule to follow. The skirt should be longer than it is wide.
Topping off our outfit will be the shoes. Shoes can make or break a look. In this case, however, they can literally help us look taller. Yes, I am talking about high heels. Go has high and thin as you can.
Sooner or later, you are going to want to wear stripes with something. Many will suggest you should avoid stripes. The truth is you should avoid horizontal stripes. They will make you look fat. Vertical stripes, on the other hand, are fine.
