If you are not very happy with your shape, and that periodically happens almost to everybody, you turn to the formless, fashionless, oversized clothes, even if you know that these clothes extend you tenfold. Or lean over backwards – wear skin-tight jeans and tops, even if you know that those tight fitted ones not only point out every problem zone but also cause poor circulation.

Thence you’ll get some general recommendations:

• Chose the entire outfit of one smooth color, better neutral (cream, fawn, greige, olive, black) or pastel one. By this freely flowing indiscrete color line you’ll appear to be harmonic and well proportioned because disconnected pieces of clothing usually arrest sights at the boundary lines and abrupt transitions. One color doesn’t necessarily mean one tone. You can make this or that part lighter or darker than others. You can also add catchy accessories, stylish details or fashion jewelry.

• Find your precise size. If you spend some time on this quest it will repay you a thousandfold. You will pass between above-mentioned Scylla and Charybdis. Besides, you will be dressed conveniently. A good alternative is a wraparound. So, the clothes should fit you but not tightly.

• Shop for soft easy-flowing lusterless fabrics. You’ll find yourself quite attractive wearing a suit made of such fabric. While rough and coarse to the feel suit will look like it was frozen stiff. Also avoid electric and clinging to the body fabrics. They are twice as much trouble and never look as good. Remember that tinsel, brocade and lustrous fabrics give extra volume. And they gloss right on problem zones and don’t do any favors for the figure.

And concrete recommendations:

Skirt

Once in pants – forever in pants! Women don’t want to backtrack. But the sad reality is that men don’t like your pants, they like your legs, and fashion dictates to us skirts again. It can’t be helped, so put on these tricky pieces. To move the focus off the hips and belly try an A-shape knee length skirt. Besides, knife pleat and upright stripes are advisable. An ankle length tailored skirt is also possible. Avoid lush colors, tiered skirts, too narrow skirts, side patch pockets, ruche and swing skirts, especially if they are overly detailed, concertina pleats, horizontal stripes and so on, and so forth.

Dress

A dress is welcomed mostly because it usually makes the one-color clean trim line possible. Choose an adjusted to the figure and nipped in waist dress and have no doubt about a long evening gown for a special event. Avoid layered or shirred dresses and additional details that could single out the hips.

Trousers

Let’s say, if you are nervous at the problem zones idea, choose long shoes covering slightly flared at the bottom trousers with low waistline and without pleats. Avoid trousers that are too narrow at the bottom, that have high waistline, colorful embroidery, appliqués or tiny pockets.

Pullover

A pullover shouldn’t be baggy. Choose the form-fitting one with the rib on waist. V-neck of the pullover is the right thing for you.
