Fitfully Yours

The Fitter side of Me…

Wondering how overweight celebrities can still look good despite their size??? Here are some tips:

• Choose appropriate length skirts. Skirts that hit at the knee or calf are flattering because they create a longer, leaner line in the lower body. If the skirt is too long, it will look messy and unkempt, too short, and it will be unflattering. If you have great legs and want to show them off, opt for a skirt that hits just above the knee.

 

•  Match your shoes to your build. If you are short and heavy, a pair of understated platform clogs or boots can give you height. If you are tall and heavy, a pair of dark colored flats or low heel pumps will make your feet look smaller without making you even taller. Avoid slender heels and sharp pointy toes as they will look small on you, and accentuate your size.

 

•  Choose jewelry that matches your size. If you’re a big, tall person, wear big pieces of jewelry. Think a ONE nice chunky bracelet or a pair of chandelier earrings. A big necklace will look great too but avoid chokers.

 

• Try to get a new look by getting a wrap dress. The V-neck on the top creates a longer neck line, the belt makes your waist look more narrow and the slight A-Line of the skirt has a slimming effect on the hips, butt and thighs.

 

• The cutting of your pants is very important. You want to balance your body through clothing to dress well when overweight. So, when choosing pants, go for a classic or wide-leg cut for trousers and a straight or boot-leg cut for jeans.

 

• Avoid horizontal stripes as these accentuate your girth! If you have heavy bottom, go for something that can slim down your bottoms and legs like darker pants, skirts, or jeans.

All in all, what you need to wear at the end of the day is your confidence and your beautiful smile. You don’t have to look thin to look great as long as you feel comfortable in what you’re wearing.
