Clothes that flatter your body.
Proportion is Everything
What flatters us usually balances the body’s proportion.
Ex.: a defined waist or vertical lines can elongate and harmonize the silhouette.
Lines and Cuts Influence Perception
Vertical lines: elongate the body
Horizontal lines: visually widen specific areas
Necklines and collars: highlight the face and neck
Tip: choose cuts that enhance your favorite areas and downplay what you want to minimize.
Color and Contrast Matter
Dark tones “slim,” light tones highlight
Contrast between top and bottom creates visual balance
Tip: combine colors to emphasize your natural body proportions.
Texture and Fabric Tell a Story
Lightweight fabrics drape better; structured fabrics shape
Mixing textures can balance or highlight specific areas
Tip: try different fabrics to see which flatters your body type most.
Clothing that flatters isn’t about size or brand, but about proportion, lines, color, and texture.
The key is understanding your body and using fashion to express identity, not just follow trends.
