If you want to achieve a chic outcome, if you want to look elegant and polished through your whole day, the choice of outerwear should never be underestimated. As I once read on Instyle.com in “The 50 Best Fashion Tips of All Time”, a must for an impeccable and interesting look is the following: “Never buy a boring coat”. As Holmes and Yang co-designer Jeanne Yang cleverly pointed out, “Outerwear should never be an afterthought. So many people only see you in your coat—if you’re not wearing something great underneath your trench, they’ll never even know!” . A wise choice of your coat can also be very helpful if you want to flatter your silhouette while looking visually thinner. An unsuitable overcoat will add volume (and bulges) to your figure, whereas if you pick out the style more appropriate for your figure, this will have a very flattering outcome. The key to a successful outcome lies in a proper balance of styles and colors. In general, you can achieve an impeccable look by picking out clean, timeless styles carefully sewn in quality fabrics. . And if you want to be in the spotlight, you can have fun with unusual hues. Interestingly enough, contrarily to what happens with other garments like sweaters […]

Similarly to what happens with some overcoats and blazers, a cardigan is unquestionably a useful garment when it comes to flattering the figure while achieving a visually thinner figure. If properly chosen and paired, this timeless garment can easily give the impression of a slimmer silhouette camouflaging most challenge areas thanks to its straight shape and clean line. . Some caution, though, is necessary, as what appears as an insignificant detail can indeed completely change the final outcome. Here are some tricks to achieve the maximum figure-slimming effect when wearing a cardigan: Avoid enlarging details like pockets, decorations, ruffles, and give preference to slim, straight styles. Pay careful attention to its length. When paired with pants, the ideal length for most figures usually lies between just above the buttocks and mid-thigh. A cardigan should never be not too short, neither too long, as this would have an unflattering outcome on the whole figure. . Conversely, when pairing a cardigan with a skirt, avoid wearing long cardigans, as this would weight your figure down. The ideal length, in this case, is usually at the waist. . The cardigan should always be worn open (totally or partially, depending on the style of the cardigan and on your body type). If you close […]

Sweaters and jumpers are one of the most easy-to-purchase garments for most of us. Every season there are new appealing styles and colors on display in windows, which is very helpful as it allows you to always find your perfect piece. Though, this endless choice can also be backfiring, as an unwise purchase can cut down your style in minutes. In this post, we will cover together some useful tips to make the most appropriate choice, boosting your style and flattering your figure. . In particular, it’s essential to pay some attention when buying inexpensive clothes as – when the quality of the fabric is not a top one – it’s important to make a wise choice to achieve an impeccable appearance at no cost. Here are some simple tricks: When possible, give preference to low necklines. Not only is a low neckline more flattering for most figures, helping to slenderize the silhouette, it also makes a poor quality blend less perceptible, thanks to the fact that the fabric remains far from your face. . When buying inexpensive knits, opt for neutral shades: cheap, bold-colored jumpers seldom look chic, whereas if you pick out the same sweater in an ageless hue (be it blue, black, gray, or white), this will […]
