Tips to dress well with a few extra kilos

A famous stylist said "accept your kilos or deny them, but do not dress like you do not have them". What is the most common mistake when dressing when we have kilos ?: to go tight, and we do not just understand that it does not work. When we have too many kilos, it does not matter so much to look thin as to seem proportionate and have a harmonious body, even if it is on another scale.

That is only achieved by optically deceiving and leaving everyone to doubt whether underneath that loose-fitting blouse there will be a wasp waist or, on the contrary, a good number of curves that are not precisely those of Marilyn.

The current fashion based on tunics and tunic dresses helps a lot, although sometimes very loose clothing can also have the opposite effect. One of the main tips to dress well with a few extra kilos is, if a garment you like, think about taking one size more.


Colors and patterns to hide the extra kilos
