Losing weight and clothes, quite a thing. Tip of the week 18
Losing weight and clothes is still quite a thing. When you lose about five kilos, it often saves a whole clothing size! Maybe you are used to your current size and find it a bit scary to try a size down.
If you do try this, you will see that after five kilos of weight loss, the results are already impressive! Wear slim-fitting clothes that are not too tight around the body.
Feel free to experiment with accessories too. Scarves, hats, jewellery, bags. Beautiful examples and endless tips for the (style)full woman can be found at >HERE.
Lose weight, get used to different clothes
Do's
- Dark colours slim down
- Supple fabrics do well, especially when they fall over the back.
- A deep V-neck completes the look.
- Trousers with long-cut legs (slightly over the top of the shoes) make your legs look slimmer.
Don'ts
- High collars
- Bright colours
- Ruffles
- Stripes in width
- Hip trousers that are too low or hip trousers in general; these quickly 'bulk up' if you have a belly.
- Try - no matter how enthusiastic you have become after losing weight - not to switch to an even smaller size too soon because clothes that are too tight will actually accentuate imperfections.
Still, it is absolutely unnecessary to keep wearing wide clothes when you have tried so hard to lose the first five (or more) kilos.
Show yourself, you can be there! If you want to give nature itself a helping hand, you can also choose to wear corrective underwear, this will make everything fall just a little bit nicer.
In any case, try to adjust your clothes to your (new) weight as much as possible each time.
When you have lost five kilos, don't buy too many clothes at once. Chances are you will need another smaller size in a few weeks!
