Fashion is all about flattery. It’s not possible to hide your body type using just clothes; the point is not to look thinner or thicker. The point is to look flattering in any body type.
If looking heavier is always a concern for you, and you are tired of the same black jeans and that one T-shirt that looks good on you, it’s time to go out there and begin experimenting with new clothes. It always helps to have a few guidelines about what you should and should not do, we recommend some fashion mistakes to avoid looking perfectly proportioned.
Wear Shaped Outerwear
Jackets will always be in fashion but remember that straight-cut and shapeless outerwear will not do any favors for your figure. This also goes for any puffy jackets, bomber jackets, capes, and shrugs that fail to cinch your waist.
Denim jackets that are cinched around the waist make for excellent outerwear. This also holds for cropped jackets which can look trendy in 2022 if paired with the right outfit. In fact, experimenting with any outerwear that has a proper shape is considerable.
Say No To Horizontal Stripes
Horizontal stripes make you look wide, period. Remember, the eyes naturally tend to follow the direction of the stripes, so horizontal stripes will make you look wide, while vertical stripes will make you look slimmer. If you must experiment with stripes, vertical stripes are the way to go.
No Baggy Clothes
Big clothes will always make you look bigger. There is a misconception that baggy clothes and clothes that hang loose on the body can hide the figure. This is not only untrue but also terrible fashion advice.
You want to wear clothes that flatter your body type, not hide them! So don’t stick to baggy clothes, be it shirts, big pants, or even flowy skirts. If you are wearing some loose attire, you can make a good fit out of it.
For example, a rule more fashion-forward people follow is wearing either loose shirts with tight pants or vice versa. You can try experimenting with this rule in mind and look absolutely dazzling.
Patterned Pants Are Tricky
If you must have a print or a pattern on your pants, make sure it is small or minimal. Big patterns like squares, plaid, or stripes will not do any favors for your body type, and you will almost certainly end up looking heavier. Instead, think of solid pants, and you can experiment with the cuts instead.
Choose The Correct Underwear
Remember that the type of underwear you pair with your clothes can have a big impact. You don’t want any unnecessary creases or rolls to be visible through your clothes.
Accessorize Carefully
Accessories can make or break an outfit. If you have a wide neck, a choker will make it disappear, and your face will look bigger. In terms of necklaces, you should opt for anything that hangs a little lower
