We’ve all worn this outfit — thinking it was flattering… until we saw the photos. This outfit formula is familiar, classic and safe. But this outfit is outdated and makes us look heavier. The tight fit outlines the stomach and back rolls and the turtleneck makes face rounder, neck shorter and overall appearance more rounded. When people look at us they focus on the face, and when the face looks round they automatically see us as plump even if the body is slim. If you open the neck with a V-neck cut, the face instantly looks slimmer and so does the body. A few small tweaks like wearing more relaxed fit, opening neckline with v-neck cut and choosing firm fabric that outlines the body but doesn’t cling to it — make us look slimmer, modern and effortless. Have you worn the first outfit or know someone who does? Which version feels most like you?
