Clothes Styles and Body Shapes

• High collars shortens necks.
• Tight tops with short sleeves and breast pocket is detracting from your figure. Shoes with straps shortens your legs. The torso can be shortened or narrowed with seam lines, belts, bows, and collars.
• A short necklace can shorten your neck.
• A scarf or belt that hangs down toward the legs will make the legs appear longer. Knitted texture, lace, floras, prints, and plaids can assist in creating an illusion.
• Thicker vertical lines in plaids lengthens and slims.
• Wear a larger print where you want people to look and smaller print where you do not want them to look.
• An all over print can camouflage figure problems, but prints here and there can create a fuller you.
• Prints around the neck and over the shoulder can make your shoulders appear wider. Just wear prints near the parts of your figure's assets, because they are usually more eye catching than a solid color.
• When buying pants be sure they fit well. Defects are emphasized in a pair of pants that may go unnoticed in a skirt.
