7 Things You Wear That Make You Look Bigger Than You Are
The average dress size for women in the UK is increasing each decade
, with the Daily Telegraph recording in July 2007 that the average dress size was a 12 and that plus size clothing shops were becoming more apparent both online and offline. Not something to be concerned about, a spokesman from Marks and Spencers, who carried out a similar survey, explained that it is simply a fact that modern woman are larger in all aspects than their elders.
Whichever dress size you are, these 7 points are aspects to take into consideration to make sure that the way you dress you does not make you look bigger than you actually are.
1. No attraction areas. The vast majority of women have parts of their body that they are not comfortable with or confident in showing off. However, all women have parts that they feel comfortable with and one of the ways to make yourself look bigger than you are is to not put emphasis on these positive points.
The idea is to draw attention to the areas you feel most happy with, such as jeans that show off your thin legs or a low neckline to display your neck and chest. By covering every part of your body up, you will be doing yourself no favours at all.
2. Skinny jeans. As fashionable as they may be, skinny jeans should be left to those who have both the legs and waist to wear them. Due to them being so slim legged and tight around the waist, for anyone who carries a little extra weight on the thighs or hips, skinny jeans will no nothing but make these areas look bigger.
3. Low rise jeans. Having a similar effect to skinny jeans, if you wear low rise jeans thinking that they will make you look thinner, they will actually have the opposite effect, creating the dreaded muffin top. Unless you have a flat stomach and slim waist, any excess weight will head over the top of your jeans, giving the effect that your stomach and waist it larger than it is.
4. High rise jeans. They may be comfortable and you may get away with wearing them around the house, but high rise jeans make you look drab and shapeless. They make your bum look longer and flatter than it is and as the material usually gathers at the front, they make your stomach look particularly unflattering.
5. Too tight clothes. You should not be ashamed of your dress size, irrelevant of what size it is. If you are, it is likely that you will try and squeeze into clothes that are a size or two below your normal size. The effect? Lumps and bulges in places you never knew you had them.
6. Too loose clothes. It can be tempting to wear large clothes if you usually wear plus size clothing, but unless you are lounging on the sofa, they should be avoided. Making your body have no definition, loose clothes will make you look like you have no shape at all, but several sizes bigger than you are.
7. Turtle necks. If you have broad shoulders, a large back or big chest, refrain from wearing turtle neck tops. As warm as they may be in the colder months, they will make you look particularly top heavy, which is not a good look, particularly if you have slim legs.
