There are possibly a hundred tips women have been told to adhere to in order to look as slim as they can. And these style restrictions only grow if you’re not a conventional size. However, it’s time to throw away all those limiting rules out of the window.
Here are 5 rules to break today and look glamourous.
Bold Prints
Completely avoiding prints is just plain silly. What’s more important, regardless of your size is to find the correct sized print. All it requires is a trial and error process.
Shapewear
Wearing shapewear for extended periods of time can cause various health problems such as lack of circulation. So, keep the shapewear for outfits that truly require it and not daily use.
Stripes
They say stripes are a woman’s worst enemy, and it’s true that they can make a frame look wider than it is. However, that doesn’t mean you have to throw the towel just yet. For those with a pear-shaped body, horizontal stripes are perfect for balancing the silhouette. Try opting for thinner stripes with less visible space in them, to begin with.
Maxi dress
Simply look for a V-neck version or add a belt to cinch in the waist for a more flattering frame.
Wearing white
Wearing white does not bring attention to your problem areas! But if you are still concerned, try color blocking with a bright outer layer.
