Today I wanted to discuss with you a common problem I see- Boxy Fitting Clothing.
In some ways it is good to have your clothes be bigger or square, because the items then cascade off the body and hide all those problem areas we all have.
The trouble is when we don’t style those cuts properly and end up looking bigger than we are.
Watch the video or read my more detailed tips below:
1. If your shirt has a square cut, try adding a belt. If you can’t find a cool belt that is your size, go out and get some ribbon to give your waist definition. If you really don’t like the idea of a belt, chose a vest or jacket that cuts in at the waist- this will also define the body.
2. Most women I see are wearing the “boot cut” pant. To be honest, unless you are actually wearing boots, I don’t think this style pant is doing you any favors. Try wearing a more modern silhouette. Slim fit is preferred or if that doesn’t work for you, go with a wide leg instead of boot cut.
Boot cuts tend to be too baggy and despite what people tell you, they do not balance out a figure. A tiny little flare at the hem does not equal a large upper body. And also, make sure they are the right length. If a pant is too short it can make you look stumpy. The pant should be just close enough to the floor without touching it.
3. Shoes are a very important accessory and should not be forgotten. I love heels, but I walk everywhere I go, so they are not very practical. I prefer to wear a ballet flat for everyday that has a bit of detail (a pop of color, a bow, a ruffle). They look great with everything- Slim fit pants, wide leg pants, skirts and dresses. Try transitioning out of a heavy, clunking shoe.
4. Don’t forget that your face is one of your best features and should never be forgotten! By pulling your hair back, adding some fresh and quick make-up, your look is complete!
