The illusion of contrast: stylist names common mistakes that make the look old-fashioned

Ukrainian stylist Katya Style told us what to avoid in order not to look old-fashioned. The expert spoke about the most common mistakes made by beauties.

In particular, you should not wear tight clothes, expecting that they will visually make your figure slimmer. The stylist shared her recommendations on her Instagram page.

Kateryna called the idea of wearing tight clothes a misconception because in this style we look the same or even bigger than we really are. "This is how the illusion of contrast works: a large thing looks even bigger if complemented with a small one," she explained. In particular, the expert explained what to avoid in this case and what alternatives are available.

Skinny jeans

According to her, skinny jeans, especially in light colors and with bold elements, can emphasize every extra centimeter. "It will make uneven legs even more expressive," Katya added.

Fitted blouses

"Tight blouses made of thin materials are like a magnifying glass, emphasizing every detail that you don't want to emphasize," the stylist explained. They are so thin you can see the underwear in the back area.

Alternatives

"It is much easier to emphasize the advantages of the figure and hide some flaws with looser clothes and right accents," the post says. The expert notes that palazzo pants with an arrow will be a good choice as they will visually make your legs look slimmer and longer.

Try adding a looser sweater to your look and tucking it into your pants a little. This way, you'll emphasize your waist and the length of your legs. "Show off your wrists to make the look look lighter, slimmer, and more modern," the expert added.
