Learning how to dress for your body type is an important skill that everyone needs to develop. Even if you are overweight, you can still wear clothes that suit your body. Let's learn how to highlight the beauty of your body and become more confident in the clothes you wear.

Steps

Part 1 of 3: Choose the right outfit

1. 

   Choose the right design. You should avoid clothes with horizontal stripes and too much textures. They will draw attention to your body that you probably don't want. If you want to look slimmer, a uniform color outfit is a safe choice.
   • The golden rule of thumb is that black often makes you look slimmer and more flattering. You should also wear dark tones as bright colors often attract attention and are less effective at concealing your body.
   • If you choose a patterned outfit, you should choose vertical patterns. Stripes or vertical motifs run along the length of the body, making you look slimmer, not flustered like when wearing horizontal patterns.

2. 

   
   
   Wear the right size bra. Statistics show that a lot of women wear the wrong bra size. Go to a fashion store, ask professional help to choose a bra that fits.The store staff will help you determine the right bra size. Bra that are too small will make you look heavy, and bras that are too large will look less neat.
   • A well-fitting bra can also make you feel less burdensome.

3. 

   
   
   Buy shaping underwear. Wearing shaped underwear inside your clothes will help your body slim down, flatten your curves and give you a better shape, so that your outerwear will also look more beautiful and flattering.

4. 

   Choose the right accessory. A large belt (should not choose a small one) will help you hide your belly effectively. A pair of sparkling earrings or a unique headband will also get people to notice instead of focusing on your body.

5. 

   
   
   Choose flattering shoes. In general, ankle-high shoes or laces on your ankles will make your legs look shorter and lose the smooth outlines of your body. Instead, choose high-collared boots or doll shoes. And of course, your feet will always look great in high heels. advertisement

Part 2 of 3: Show off your physique

1. 

   Avoid loose clothing and loose skirts. People often have the same thought that wearing loose clothing will hide your unbalanced physique. However, in fact, they highlight the flaws you want to cover up. Wearing clothes that are too loose will make others think of you trying to hide behind your clothes, and your image will be nothing special. Plus, they can make you look fatter.

2. 

   Choose pants that fit. It's easy for us to think that wearing loose pants anyways looks better than tight pants (because no one wants their stomachs squeezed like a muffin!). But in reality, both options are equally bad. Pants that are too wide will not show off and make you look very bulky. Choose a pair of jeans that fit perfectly - or if you can't choose pre-purchased pants, you can tailor one of your own designs. A pair of pants that fit well will be incredibly effective.
   • In addition, you should choose flared pants. The wide flared section of this pants will help your hips and thighs look more balanced.

3. 

   Choose a skirt. The pencil skirt is close to the natural curves of the body, so it is very suitable for those with enlarged breasts. These skirts are perfectly tight, and like flared pants, they help your hips / thighs look more balanced.

4. 

   Wear an A-cut or "goddess" skirt (brisket). These skirt designs will accentuate curves on the body without exposing flaws in the abdomen, thighs or buttocks. The slightly spread skirts are better than tight skirts that reveal imperfect lines.
   • You can choose a cross-over skirt (wrap skirt) - a dress that will suit almost any type of person.

5. 

   Press on the waist area. Whether thin or fat, you have the courage to show off your physique. Please choose for yourself outfits that emphasize the waist area. Even chubby girls have waistlines like an hourglass, and it's important to show others that. Dress up fitting and flattering rather than trying to hide your body. Do not hesitate to press on the waistline by cleverly using the right colors and patterns such as stripes, or a prominent belt. advertisement

Part 3 of 3: Dress for men

1. 

   Choose the right item. Men with an oversized body tend to assume that wearing loose will help hide their body, but that is not the case. Clothes that fit look better (and comfortable)! Baggy outfits are not only sloppy, but also less attractive.
   • Likewise, clothes that are too tight will expose you to an overweight defect. It's very important to dress properly.

2. 

   Avoid wearing thick clothing. The thicker your clothes, the more voluminous you look. A thick sweater or shirt, for example, will make you look fatter than you really are. Plus they make you sweat more, which is also a common problem that men with oversized bodies face.

3. 

   Avoid wearing casual clothing. Most casual clothing for men, such as loose pants (baggy pants) and thin T-shirts, will be less attractive on oversized bodies. In fact, a suit that fits well with a blazer is better than when you wear jeans and a T-shirt. Refurbish your casual outfit a bit by looking for more attractive and comfortable ones.

4. 

   Wear simple clothes. Clothes with too many textures will emphasize and draw attention to your body. Choose clothes with simple colors or patterns. They will help your body tidy instead of attracting the attention of others.

5. 

   Maintain body proportions. You should choose clothes that do not affect your body proportions. For example, if you have a large belly, don't wear low-waist pants below your navel to avoid exposing your belly. Instead, pull the waistband of the pants around your navel to hide your belly and maintain a good body proportion.
   • If you can't pull your pants that high, try a waistband instead. They're pretty stylish, and your problem will be dealt with smoothly!
