These Fashion Mistakes Can Add 10 Pounds to Your Look

Small things can make you look bad. If you don’t pay attention to the little things, even simple clothes can make you look heavier. Consider wearing a belt too narrow or a skirt too long for your coat. But with just a few extra touches, your picture will look great.

The Bright Side team is always looking for ways to get better. Today, we’d like to share some style tips with you that will help you look great.

1. Picking a shirt without buttons

You might think that a simple shirt can’t ruin your look, but that’s not quite true. Pick a shirt with buttons if you want to hide the extra weight. Leave the buttons off and wear a T-shirt under it. This will make your body look longer.

2. Wearing a loose sweater with a skirt

If you wear a loose jacket, it can hide your waist and make your legs look shorter. To make your body look longer, wear a belt like the one in the picture to lift the jacket.

3. Pulling down your top to hide your belly

Your body may appear split in half if you pull your shirt down excessively. This is especially true when the bottom and top colors are different. Wear an unzipped sweater or jacket and tuck the shirt into the skirt.

4. Not showing your thinner parts: wrists, waist, or neck

We want to hide behind our clothes when we feel like we’re carrying too much weight. But we need to remember not to show our legs, wrists, or waist. These parts of our bodies make us look thin and girly.

5. Using button-down skinny jersey sweaters

Many of us own these lightweight knitwear jackets with buttons. Be careful here. If you have a lot of extra skin around your shoulders and waist, these sweaters will not make you look thinner. In fact, they may make you look bigger. It is better to pick a knit jacket that has a rather loose fit.

6. Being afraid of monochromatic looks

We may think wearing one color is boring and easy, but it’s not. A bottom that stands out can only make you look bigger. The pictures above show an example. If you’ve picked a skirt, tuck your top into it so your waist doesn’t move.

7. Wearing shorts that are too short

Shorts that are too short won’t help you lose weight, no matter how much you want them to. Most of the time, these shorts only highlight your flaws. If you want to wear tracksuits with slightly loose cuts, you should do so. If you really want to wear shorts, make sure they are loose instead of tight.

Also, don’t wear clothes with small, childish patterns that will draw too much attention to your stomach.

8. Wearing a belt that is too thin and bright

Yes, we can wear light-colored belts, but only with the right clothes. If your coat is darker than your belt, it may enlarge your waist.
Also, don’t wear thin belts with coats or pants. A wide belt will make your body look better.

9. Picking short and tight clothes all the time

It might look like our legs are longer when we show them off. The longer they are, the less fat you are. But this doesn’t always happen. If your skirt is short and black, it can really cut the shape of your legs. It is better to pick a pencil skirt that makes you look more feminine.

10. Wearing a skirt or a dress that is longer than your coat

If the jacket or coat is shorter than your skirt, don’t wear it. This is especially true if the coat is a different color than your skirt. By adding lines, we cut the figure in half and make it look bigger.

11. Picking the wrong skirt length

Don’t forget to think about how long your dress or skirt is. Clothes that are longer than the knee can often make you look heavier. There are no rigid and fast rules when it comes to clothing length; however, for most of us, 10 cm below the knee works well.

Too-long A-line skirts can also make you look awful and hide your thin legs.

12. Forgetting about vertical lines

If the line is longer, it makes you appear thinner. Pick the right length for your jacket and leave it open. There shouldn’t be too many straight lines going around the middle.

13. Wearing dresses that are too tight

No matter how tight the dress is or what color it is, the belly won’t go away. As long as you show your waist, don’t be afraid to wear dresses with loose bottoms. If everything is right, even a white dress won’t make you look bigger. The curvy shape can save you.

14. Using too many oversize and big things at once

When your clothes are too big or too long, they can make you look bigger. Pay attention to the things you wear. It’s sometimes better to go with a small bag so that it doesn’t make your top look bigger. Once more. Show your wrists.

15. Prioritizing skinny jeans

It’s simple to look bad in skinny jeans if your legs are big. Pick jeans that are a little too big and show your feet. If you want to look good, don’t wear shoes that are too different from each other.
