WHAT TO WEAR AS A SKINNY LADY

WHAT TO WEAR AS A SKINNY LADY

We have talked extensively on how to dress your body shape in our previous blog, but we will give few more tips for ladies who are skinny which is no bad thing at all.

You should love the body you have and take good care of it. Never look down on yourself. Besides, consider yourself lucky because having a slim figure is something many ladies desire.

The Goal
The main goal for skinny ladies when choosing their outfits is to  focus on how to create curves and volume . You should add a balanced weight to your look and also create curves where you want them.

·         Avoid materials that stay close to the body and wear thicker fabrics.

·         If you desire to  enhance some parts of your body you can use patterns and colours to achieve this. e.g  you can choose shirts or dresses that feature heavy prints and colors, as well as details like pleats, ruffles, twists, knots, to fill out your  bust area.

·         Wear shape enhancing underwears: create curves with underwear that doubles as shape-wear.

·         Wear clothes that create an illusion of shape and most importantly the curves e.g pleated skirts, bomber jackets, balloon skirts, boot cut jeans etc.

 

·         Choose Dresses and tops with volume on shoulder and hips e.g empire-waist dress, peplum style dresses and tops.

You can use long sleeve tops with prints to disguise thin upper arms. Hide your arm by pairing a long-sleeve top with a bomber jacket or waterfall blazer.

·         Trousers like boot-cuts or flared pants make the lower part of your body round with extra shape and dimension.

·         Try clothes that are round from your waist down where skirts are concerned, as well as other dresses.

·         Creatively  use  belts, coats, pleats, etc to enhance your appearance.

·         Wear a tailored jacket or blazer

·         Wear Illusion dresses: these are dresses that usually have a light colour in the front with a darker color on the sides. The dark colours on the sides will cause  the eyes to concentrate on the middle and help create an illusion of a hourglass shape.

Things to avoid

1.         Avoid oversized  tops.

2.         Avoid oversized skirts or trousers if you are a thin and short figure as they will only make you look even  shorter and smaller.

3.         Avoid batwing and kimono style tops.  

4.         Avoid tube tops

5.         Avoid pencil skirts

6.         Avoid spaghetti straps
