Follow these simple steps to choose the clothes that best suit you and always get the most out of it:
Know your body
You need to be very clear about your strengths to choose pieces that draw attention to the part of your body that you like the most and that disguise what has you most self-conscious.
Prioritize your type over fashions
As much as a trend is, if it does not suit you, it has no place in your wardrobe. Being a fashion victim is paid for with mistakes that you cannot afford if you want to look thinner.
Look for verticality
Make sure that vertical lines always dominate your look, whether with a long lapel, an elongated pattern or with garments that are always longer than they are wide.
Bet on monocolor
If you wear the same color, you will not cut your silhouette in half, so you will look more stylized.
Fitted, yes; tight, no
Always lose weight more than clothes follow the shape of your body instead of falling shapelessly on your body. What never works is to stuff yourself into a garment smaller than your size to reduce your volume, the result is always the opposite.
Shine out!
We are not talking about makeup, but about clothes. The ones that shine a lot reflect the light and make us appear more voluminous. However, you don't have to give up the shine on accessories. A metallic shoe or bag can distract attention from your look to them, hiding areas that you are interested in that do not stand out.
When in doubt, heels
Climbing into heels is losing a couple of visual pounds in no time. So you know, when you want to look more stylized, turn to them. They do not necessarily have to be very high and thin, you have intermediate versions, such as the square heel, wedges or compensatory front platforms, which will make the heel moment more bearable.
