How to flatter a heavy bottom!

Sarah — Mon, 05 Jan 2009 13:11:11 +0000

This comes in as the biggest issue with women having heavy bottoms. Though we try our best at our own levels to rectify it, if we know some professional tips, they’ll only help us to camouflage our body better. So here are some simple tips which will help you a great deal.

One of the best ways is to wear a fitted suit with either pants or a slim skirt if you have a heavy bottom. The things to be remembered in this regard are:

• Keep the line of the clothing long enough by using a single color with slim-cut pieces. This helps elongate the body line and make the figure look slimmer.
• Another great way is to wear close fitted jackets that end just above the widest point of your body i.e. the waist or your hips.
• It is important to balance your body and so wearing a top with structured shoulders and puffy sleeves gives you a good option to balance out your larger bottom half.
• You might have seen that the focus here is on a form-fitting outfit but make sure it is not too tight and the skirt you wear too should be in a non-clingy fabric.
The styles of skirts that work well for ladies with heavy bottom include the following. Besides, here are some tips that’ll help you further.
• You must always strive to achieve a fit and flare silhouette. You must focus on drawing attention to your waist with either a belt, gathers, a band or any other feature. The skirt should always flare out from the waist which should be well fitted.
• This option can further work well for you if you try a strapless dress. This will help you to draw attention away from your hips and instead play to the benefit of showing off your shoulders. Also, if you have a strong line of bare shoulders, then baring them in a dress helps balance a wider bottom.

So here we are!

These are some simple ways to camouflage your heavy bottom. So the next time you are in a fix regarding it, you know exactly what to do and how!

Fashion tips for bottom heavy figure!

Sarah — Sun, 04 Jan 2009 12:51:07 +0000

I have taken up a colossal task; you could say to give you all possible options to dress slimmer in myriad ways. In a few of my last articles, in this series I have spoken about how you can employ various apparels to suit your figure. However, in this one, i’ll be talking about the type of prints and patterns you can go in for to minimize your size from the bottom.

I don’t know how many of you have really heard this but a great way to balance your bottom heavy figure is to accentuate your top half with prints and bottom half with solid colors. For instance, whether you jeans, trousers or a long skirt, you can wear them with printed tops flaunting patterns such as plaids, florals and polka dots. All of these will look great on you especially if you have a heavy bottom. If you are wearing jackets, let them end just above the widest part of your hips. If you are into wearing suits, then prefer a single color for both the top and the bottom because it renders a greater length to your body and makes you look taller. This is way to give others an optical illusion you could say.

Another great way to dress yourself is wearing high waist lines. This is because if your natural waistline is thick with fuller hips and thighs, the best option for you are dresses with an empire-waist or a raised waist as we call it. With this kind of silhouette, the focus of the people will shift only to the top third of your body as your waist falls right below the bust line. These looks works best on women with pear-shaped figures and have a small-bust line.

Thus you see there are many ways in which you can camouflage your figure without giving into conventional style of wearing just that black dress all the time! So the nest time you go shopping, you know what to buy and how!

Wish you a good shopping week ahead!

Men and women both can have these facial shapes, officially…oval, square, round, triangle, etc. But mostly men have square shaped faces. Men may loose out on their round shaped faces or their square jaws because of weight gain or age…they still keep continue with square influences on their faces.
Triangle shape is missing most oft from men’s since it is a feminine designation.

Square shaped men
A man with a square shaped face looks best in a hairstyle
which adds to the square shape…it should bring in focus the features. Though there are not many options available for this kind…but the best suited one is which provides a square frame for the face. Whether you keep your hair long or short, the only thing is that it should have a square image.

The rectangular shaped faces
Many men enjoy square shaped faces, but with a bit of rectangular softness, they are called modified square faces. If you have a facial shape which includes a softer jaw shape and the rectangular lines, a hairstyle with layers is the best.
Facial hair may also help enhance the look….if you have soft jaw line, you can keep a beard which gives the square effect. And if a soft chin, then the goatee, carefully trimmed, be the best.

And if you have perfectly rectangle shaped faces, then the face needs to be shortened, the rectangle angle and the intended hairline to be hidden or made not very clear. With this face kind, the real hair line should be framed or made look enhanced. The best solution can be a layered cut, which helps form an irregular look at the hairline. A well kept moustache is a good way of helping shorten a longer face and give it a much more balanced look.

Fashion tips for 2009!

Sarah — Sat, 03 Jan 2009 12:50:20 +0000

Let’s make a pledge to make this forth coming year our fashionable best by becoming more aware about this genre so that we can avoid the faux pas committed in the past. However, I would like to mention here that getting fashion savvy does not mean you load yourself with all possible accessories or apparels making the rounds that season.

You know wearing fashionable clothes does not necessarily bring to you the grace and style that one is expected to possess. Clothes do play a role in it but you must know the skill of wearing the right thing at the right place. Here are some tips:

If you want to show you are a fashion buff, there is no need for you wear something that is latest on the ramp but unfortunately does not suit you. If a particular line of outfit does not suit your personality, your shape or your age, you must try your best to avoid it by all means. If you really want to make an impression, you can choose something that is more sober and classic and which suits your persona better. You clothes should seem a natural part of your personality. If you wear something that‘s too loud for you, where you’ll more likely look like a wannabe than a style diva.

If your dress compliments high-heeled shoes but you are not comfortable wearing them, then please don’t wear them just for the heck of it. Shoes play a great role in shaping the way you walk and if you give a limping impression, you are only going to put all your effort to look good down the drain. So be careful and go in for some other alternative, if you are not comfortable with a particular pair.

Remember that if there is a party at your office, never wear clothes that are too revealing or something that catches people’s negative attention to you. Remember office parties are not the places to experiment. Rather you must be sure of what should you be wearing and how to create the right impression on people.

If it is a formal occasion, you are dressing for, please make sure you do put in the effort to choose the right apparel and the accessories complimenting it. Being underdressed is the worst thing you can do to spoil your image.

So here we are!

I hope these tips come in handy for you. The most important ingredient that defines your style is your confidence, so make sure you are fly high and remain in the best of spirits in the forth coming year!

Brilliant ways to flatter your heavy bottom!

Sarah — Fri, 02 Jan 2009 12:50:17 +0000

One great way to look slimmer is by donning a jean that fits you well. But the style you opt for over here is an important choice you need to be aware about.

The worst thing that women do when they have a heavy bottom is they go in for skin fits with tapering bottoms and that’s where everything goes wrong. You must know that you already have a heavy bottom and so wearing a skin fit will only accentuate your figure further more. Here’s how you can look great in a pair of jeans!

The key to good dressing when it comes to jeans is going in for boot cuts with back pockets that fit you well in the hip.

• Boot cut leg openings work the best for women with bottoms heavier than normal as it flatters the length of your legs in a great way in this outfit. This is because a slight flare helps balance out wider hips and fuller thighs in a very tasteful manner.
• Opting for a darker shade of wash jean makes for the more slimming look.
• A Five-pocket styling also works well but in case you want to avoid excessive embellishment on your pockets, you can go for the plain ones as well. You must in fact avoid wearing jeans with embellishments on the back pockets if the size of your backside is already large.
• A golden rule when it comes to wearing jeans is that the longer the jeans, the taller and thinner your legs look, irrespective of your figure. So you must wear boot cuts as much as you possibly can without having them gather around your calves. If a super-flattering look is what you are aiming for, then pairing them with a pair of high heels will make you look taller and super sexy.

Hence the next time you go out shopping, you’ll know what to wear and please do try your jeans and give yourself a thorough look before picking them up.

Adding a half a cup of either almond oil or coconut oil to your bubble bath will soften your skin tremendously. This is a great addition for your bubble baths for the winter months.
