They often
say; looking good is a serious business, as it will make you stand out wherever
you go. But the case might be different to some people especially the
overweight and obese ones with the fear that they might be body shamed. For
this reason they don’t dress to impress, because they feel that they might not
look good in whatever they wear. But that is totally wrong, and in fact these
days the chubby ones are on top of their games. Learning to dress for your body
type is an important skill to develop. Even if you are overweight, this is
possible to do. Learn how to accentuate your positive features and feel more
confident with what you are wearing.
Below are
some fashion tips to have in mind
Know what designs work best. Avoid horizontal
stripes and excessive patterns. These will draw unwanted attention to your body
that you may be trying to avoid. Solid colours are a safer choice if you want to
appear slimmer.
The tried
and true rule is that black is generally very slimming and flattering. Sticking
with darker colours are a safe bet because brighter/lighter colours draw
attention to your body and are less effective at camouflaging certain trouble
areas.
If you do
choose a pattern, think vertical. Any vertical stripes or patterns that flow
vertically will follow the length of your body and elongate it rather than
cutting it off like horizontal patterns would.
Invest in
some shape wear. Wearing shape wear garments under your clothing will help slim
your figure, smooth out lines, and give you better posture. All of these are
good things that will help your clothes look more flattering.
Choose the
right accessories. A wide belt (not a skinny belt) will help hide your tummy if
that is a problem area for you. Sparkly earrings or exciting headbands can draw
attention away from your body and direct people to look elsewhere.
Above all,
never be afraid of trying out new designs you know you will feel good in. Be
bold, be fab and slay like never before.
