Do not wear them: 5 trending items that distort your body shape and what to replace them with

What are the two "enemies" that can ruin any outfit? The wrong cut and length of the garment. They visually distort the proportions of the silhouette, add extra volume or shorten your height. And vice versa: a right cut and a well-chosen length can favorably adjust the parameters of the body shape.

So, what popular wardrobe items should you avoid if you don't want to get into a fashion embarrassment? Find out in the OBOZ.UA article.

1. Straight maxi skirt

This item in any color and texture does not suit anyone. It makes your legs look thicker and your hips wider than they really are. In addition, a straight maxi skirt disguises the waist and "adds" extra volume. What to replace it with? Wear models with a slightly tapered silhouette ("trapeze") and a high waist. The length should end in the middle of the knees.

2. Long oversized shirt

An oversized shirt that is too long looks baggy and visually spoils the proportions of the body. On tall women, this is less noticeable, but on small and medium-sized women, it is very noticeable! What alternative to choose? It can be a slightly elongated straight-cut shirt in a classic palette. It gives a feeling of lightness, and at the same time is timeless.

3. Short top, sweatshirt, or T-shirt

Here we are talking about things that end one centimeter from the waist. No matter how perfect the abs are, this line of the naked body visually shortens the length of the torso. In addition, it may seem that the girl has "grown out" of this item and it is too small. So, if you want to wear cropped clothes, choose crop tops, sweatshirts, or T-shirts that reach the ribs.

4. 7/8 pants

This is a dangerous length. It is difficult to choose shoes that would organically fit into the look with such capricious pants. And yet, they visually make your legs look shorter. What to replace them with? Full-length pants that will always be in trend. They are appropriate not only in the business dress code but also in the evening.

5. Wide leg pants with an elastic waistband

An elastic waistband looks sloppy and visually adds one or two centimeters to the waistline. Too wide ankle pants are also not the best solution: they make you look shorter. Choose flared, palace, or straight-cut pants with a sewn-in waistband instead.
