Being overweight doesn’t equal an ugly appearance if you have a
little know-how and a dose of confidence. Dressing in the right way not only
makes you feel comfortable but also shows off your features. Come on, girls.
Building a strong wardrobe
Know how to hide certain areas of
your body
Colors and patterns you are wearing can draw other
people’s attention and here are some basics ready for you.
--Dark colors hide whereas light colors highlight. If you
like the waist, wear a light belt over a dark shirt or dress. If you want to
hide your bottom half, wear dark pants and a light top.
--Choose small patterns on what you wear which can make
you look smaller.
--Avoid horizontal stripes. However, if you want to look
larger in the bust area, this is the choice.
--Instead of putting ruffles on the area you want to look
smaller; do put them on the area you want to emphasize because ruffles catch
people’s eyes.
--Wear gathered fabric on areas you want to look smaller.
An example is one-piece swimsuit with ruched panels over the belly.
--Know what colors look good on you which can flatter
your skin tone.
--Wear something baggy that ensure both style and
well-dress option.
Wear well-fitting undergarments
The
underclothes you wear are the foundation of your look. It is horrible when you
are wearing flimsy underwear which can’t support you properly.
--Buy a fit
bra which helps lift your figure and makes you younger. If you’re not sure
about your size, you can search on the internet or visit the department store
for a fitting.
--Wear
low-legged, high-waisted underwear to lose a bit of girth around your hips and
thighs.
Find fits and textiles that will flatter your bottom half
If you’re
fat in the hips and legs (pear-shaped), look at these tips:
--Looking
for tailored skirts and trousers instead of flared pants and wide-leg trousers.
--Avoid
shapeless garments such as one-size dresses or broomstick skirts. Find
something with a nipped waist.
--Find
A-line cut skirt. Avoid pencil skirts because they outline your hips and waist.
--Buy at
least a pair of well-fitting jeans. Skinny or straight-leg jeans in dark colors
look great.
--Be careful
with leggings because if you have large hips, thighs or bottom, it looks awful.
Dress to flatter your top half
If you are
fat around your stomach and shoulders (apple-shaped), these following tips can
help:
--Choose
shaped T- shirts and dresses over “straight T” shirts and untailored dresses.
They will be the perfect match to natural waist and shoulders.
--For men,
get tailored shirts.
--For women,
skip halter tops. You’ll want your shirt to cover your bra straps and they
might be wide.
--Wear
full-length cardigans and jackets.
--Try a
tunic-style top on skinny jeans or leggings. Wearing a top that is not fitting
is fine as long as the bottom half looks tailored and well-fitted.
Accessorize and match
--A big
handbag helps you look smaller because it isn’t tiny next to you.
--Boots like
“equestrian-style” can grab the illusion of a slender calf.
--If you
have heavy legs and ankles, avoid delicate footwear because it will look as if
you are about to fall over or sink into the floor. A wedge heel is a perfect
choice.
--Last but
not least, be confident in how you look.
Before you go shopping
Get into the right frame of mind
--Stop
paying attention to the sizing tags. Don’t be heartbroken when the garment that
fits you is big in size. Instead, cut the sizing tags of all your clothing.
--Spend time
taking care of yourself because you are deserved. Telling yourself it’s OK and
pay attention to your skin, hair, nails and makeup. Remember, you only have one
and only body, be nice to it.
Wear clothing with confidence
Know your measurements
You have to
know your size if you want to dress well although you consider it as a
nightmare every time you use it. Try to remove the ideas as they are not the
measurements of who you are.
Shopping for clothing
Make shopping as an exciting experience
Focus on quality over quantity
Buy age-appropriate clothing
