Clothes can make you look and feel great, no matter the size of your body, but you don’t want to add visible pounds with the style choices you make, here’s how not to look fat in clothes.
These simple mistakes will make you look bigger than you are, and will diminish your confidence when you look back on pictures or catch a glimpse of your reflection.
This advice is something we should all take on board and use to ensure we’re looking fabulous all of the time.
Poor quality pieces
We all know about the detriment of fast fashion that is taking over the high street, poor quality pieces at bargain prices. Yes, your bank account maybe thankful but in the long run you won’t be.
These items are rushed onto the shop floor to keep up with the latest trend and they’re made from poor-quality materials with untidy trims and messy finishes. You’ll find the hems to be uneven and it’ll create an unbalance to the look.
If you are looking for bargain items though, make sure you try them all on in the shop. Once you get them home you’ll be more persuaded to keep hold of the £5 dress that just looks OK.
And don’t just think about this when you’re hitting budget retailers too, even mid-priced fashion can be rushed onto the market, so make sure your item looks and feels good before you commit to it.
Don't see cheap fashion as an easy solutionMenswear items made for men
Yes we’re all well aware that the masculine fashion trend lives on and menswear pieces like pantsuits can look stunning, but you’re best sticking to actual women’s fits for these items.
Hoodies and crew-neck t-shirts are other items that you should be buying from the women’s department too.
Men have different body shapes to women, with no breasts and no hips and a less shapely derriere so there clothing is never going to look good on a woman’s shapely form.
Thankfully though this trend has taken form and we can see plenty of masculine pieces throughout the high street.
Fitted clothing that doesn’t fit
Ill-fitted clothing never looks good, straining over the bust, digging in the underarms or inability to sit properly are just some of the signs that clothing doesn’t fit and as much as it doesn’t look good, it doesn’t feel good either.
Can you move around in your new jeans?It’s important to try on your items before you buy and then again when you get home, make sure you can move properly in them and they don’t feel uncomfortable to move around and sit down.
We hope these tips help ensure you don’t look fat in your clothes. Have you got any more advice?
