Bye bye body blunders

What to wear when you have:

Big Tummy???

Avoid:

– short and tight shirts (hug fat) – sparkly and shiny tops (reveal dimples)

Opt for:

– flowing peasant vintage tops – low cut or round neck tops, to take attention of the stomach – accessorize with thin, long scarves

Big Buttocks???

Avoid:

– tight clothing – low cut pants – skinny jeans

Opt for:

– wide leg trousers and flared jeans (creates triangle illusion) – thick belted pants – fitted tops that compliment your curvaceous buttocks

Big Arms???

– Elastic bands in the sleeves, unless the top is three quarter length (they squeeze your arms) – Halter tops and sleevless shirt-they emphasize arms

Opt for:

– long sleeve shirts which can be mixed and match with other tops. If you want to wear a vest, or another sleeveless top, mix it with a long, three quarter length, or short non-elastic band sleeve t-shirt, which will spice up your outfit and cover your arms. – puffy sleeves, these are in style these season, made by many designers and available in many colors.

A Big Bust???

Avoid:

– Extra materials such as turtlenecks and dolman sleeve tops which create a husky look – Spaghetti strap tops

Opt for:

– Fitted blouses that may reveal the bust line, but cover your arms and stomach – Bras that fit! – No more bra’s that are too small for you, this does not flatter your bust line! – No more bra’s that are too big for you, this empty space does not make your bust look bigger- it just makes you look like your swimming in you shirt.

Short Neck???

Avoid:

– Round necklines such as polo’s and turtlenecks – Jewelry that hugs tightly around your neck – go for something longer such as a necklace that hits you at or below your bust line. You don’t want to go to low, because that may make you look short.

Opt for:

– Opening up your neck line with v-necks and lower cut tops – Revealing a bit of your shoulders and chest will elongate your neckline.

Short Torso???

Avoid:

– Crop tops, they are simply unflattering – Horizontal necklines – short tops – puffy, busy sleeves

Opt for:

– V neck tops – they elongate your torso – Longer tops which flow past your hip line – this creates a longer illusion

Thicker Thighs?

Avoid:

– tight skirts – long and short, as they attract attention to your chubbier areas – Skirts that hit your mid calf or ankle – Tight waistlines which will bring out love handles and unnecessary views

Opt for:

– Skirts that hit you at your knee, paired with a pair of plump pumps, give off a elongated slim look – Flared trousers that are fitted, but no too tight

Small Bust???

Avoid:

– wide scoop neck – V-necks-realistically this does not accentuate the “bust” look you are going for

Opt for:

– no bra means more options! – if you are a proud six pack owner, wearing tighter, shoulder baring tops will enhance your appearance. – halter tops
