comes to working with a silhouette and there are so many ways to use color in order to appear larger or smaller shorter or taller and I'm breaking them all down in my course the three-day makeover what I would like to talk about today and exercise today is the color contrast because you have heard so many times to go for black or to opt for darker Shades in order to appear slimmer and slender but this is not the only way on the country you can dress very colorful and very bold and very bright way and still look slim and slender if you go for low contrast color combinations in my first look I used very high contrast combination black and white so I cut the silhouette in three parts by going for contrast long Blazer white bottom and black shoes this way I made it wider and rather unflattering in terms of proportion and no matter I'm wearing black color it doesn't really make me look slimmer however if I swap the top and the shoes for neutral Shades like this cream kitten heels and Bash Blazer I immediately elongate the silhouette and make it look slimmer and leaner you can go for neutrals or brights as long as you keep the top and the bottom on the same level of depth and contrast so equally dark or light colors or equally bright or muted tones foreign [Music] we all know that vertical lines help you elongate the silhouette and this way if you're Slimmer and slender but pinstripe is not the only way to look sliver you can actually create vertical lines in your outfit in so many possible ways such as for example opting for an extra layer on top of your outfit and leaving it unbuttoned you can wear a blazer or a jacket some longer vest or trench coat it all helps to create this beautiful elegant elongating lines conceal the volume and make the overall impression much Slimmer and slender you can go for vertical details such as seams and pleats on the bottoms or on the skirts or some vertical embellishment and patterns for example it can be the row of vertical buttons or some vertical zips on the bottoms again or you can go for elongating longer and deeper necklines such as for example a v-neck even jewelry can help you to to make your silhouette much Slimmer for example if you go for this longer necklace with a pendant which creates the illusion of a v-neck a longer v-neck it also helps you to create this more slimming and elongating effect in this outfit I went for longer oversized sweater on top of the leggings and paired it with riding boots as you see here I have again cut the silhouette horizontally and this way made it appear wider and heavier which is not really the impression I aim for however if I only swap the sweater for a white shirt which has spectacle seams and detailing on the side and structured silhouette the overall impression will be already more flattering by adding a leather blazer create more vertical lines in the outfit it's the long v-neck and narrow labels the side seams the vertical lines in the middle plus the structured fit it all pulls the silhouette together and makes it look slender and Slimmer I can also add accessories such as a scarf on top and wear it with one straight over the shoulder to create another vertical in my outfit so this way you not only make it look more interesting in terms of style but also more interesting and flattering in terms of silhouette foreign fit is crucial if you want to look slimmer and slender and I know how we all love oversized flared and wide fits because they're so comfortable sometimes we think that we can hide behind them and just conceal all the volume but let me tell you these fits are not made to make your appear slimmer and slander on the country they always give and create this more voluminous effect don't worry I'm not going to tell you just to go for only tight and fitted clothes not at all I actually have a very good compromise for you even if your plus size can still look very modern create this very fresh outfits by going for straight fitted clothes in this look I paired flare skirt with an oversized sweater so two volume enhancing fits and one outfit and despite I wear heels and tonal color combination the overall salad is quite large and wide but I can easily fix it by swapping only one item in this outfit do you have any idea which one I can swap pleated skirts for a straight Maxi fit with vertical split which will immediately elongate the silhouette and make my figure look cleaner and Slimmer mixing oversized and loose fits with straight and more tailored one is a very good hack not only to avoid this bulky voluminous impression but also make it look more polished fresh and pulled together in this outfit I opted for two oversized fits the oversized sweater and oversized plated trousers I also paired it with chunky boots so the overall impression is quite bulky and unflattering you can actually see it quite often in street style on tall very skinny figures but it doesn't really work for petites or average heights and curvier types to create modern yet more flattering and slimming silhouette I suggest to swap oversized fit for a slightly loose straight leather bands and go for fitted ripped white top which exposes the cleavage the collarbones and the neck this look contrures my figure and accentuates the thinnest parts of my body the waistline the neck so the overall impression is much slender I can wear a straight fit Blazer on top again because it's more tailored fit it creates vertical lines gives structure to the silhouette it really works much more slimming and flatters my figure we all got so relaxed so addicted to sweatshirts and joggings and some relaxed fits during pandemic but we still need to admit that this kind of clothes doesn't work flattering for our figure it gives extra volume it doesn't have any structure and normally comes in a very thick fluffy fabric which sums up in a few extra inches around your body this outfit is actually pretty much what I see on the streets most of the time it's cozy relaxed very comfortable exactly what you need for your daily routines I mean why would you even go for anything more complicated to do groceries or pick up kids from school it might be comfortable but it doesn't do any favor to my figure thick shapeless knit where it's bulk on the sides whereas wide leg jeans in combination with chunky trainers balance Up the Volume around my hips and thighs so the silhouette looks not only heavy but quite shapeless as well casual looks don't need to be boring or unflattering you can actually combine comfort and style in one outfit by dressing up your basic yet structured and more tailored clothes so as you see here I went for vegan leather high-waisted pants and slightly looser shirt tucked in the bottom and even paired with the same chunky trainers the silhouette looks much leaner and slender I also feel that I can wear this look not only to school or Supermarket but also on a lunch date or some meeting because as much as it's casual it's also quite elegant I layered it with the same lilac sweater to make it more relaxed and cozy Evola Comfort can actually gives confidence as well [Music] okay the first thing I pay attention when I go shopping with my clients is the fabric it may not seem that obvious but it's the fabric which makes or breaks the Garment fabric can make you appear heavier bulkier eccentric even the slightest imperfections on a perfect body or it can make the Garment fit you like a glove and turn your figure into some red carpet material just look at the difference how all the celebrities look on the red carpet and how their bodies look on the red carpet opposed to how they look in real life in their casual outfits you will see a huge difference and I will tell you the secret why it's the fabric and the shapewear of course which also works mainly because of the fabric thin loose width fabric exposes and accentuates all the imperfections on the body especially where you tend to carry extra weight in my case it's a tummy area so as you see here the dress makes it quite obvious and because it doesn't give enough support and Contour to your figure and curves the silhouette doesn't really look slim and lean tight woven thicker Fabrics such as this rib knit dress give High support to your figure create this beautiful contouring conceal all the imperfections and make the overall silhouette very slim lean and feminine and you don't even need to wear any shapewear underneath because fabric is dense and thick enough I love this dress and I know that I can wear it after holiday when I gain some extra pillows and still feel confident in it always pay attention to the fabric touch it stretch it try it on and check carefully what it does to your figure on the front and at the back the last secret to looking Slimmer and slander is to create the right focal points in other words to expose the areas of your body you feel really confident about the key strategic points are the neck the cleavage the arms and the wrists the waistline the legs and the ankles so the thinnest parts of your body the more you draw attention to the thinnest parts of your body the Slimmer overall impression will be accentuating the waistline is a must if you want to achieve slimming effect if you prefer loose and straight fits without waistline you can draw it yourself by cinching the jacket with a belt or simply tucking the shirt or the jump in your bottom put it slightly high on your ribs if you have a bit bulk around your natural waist this way you will accentuate the thinnest part and make yourself appear slimmer accentuate your wrist by rolling up the sleeves we'll also make the silhouette Slimmer and more polished open up your cleavage and collarbones or create the illusion of longer neckline by wearing a long necklace with a pendant show your legs and your ankles you don't need to wear a mini skirt it can be a maxi one with a split which will elongate your legs and create the slim feminine silhouette [Music] and the last most important trick you should do right now go to stand in front of the mirror raise your chin straighten up your neck open up your shoulders look at yourself you see you are gorgeous remind about it to yourself every day because you are thank you for watching see you
