I know this feels counterintuitive — but longer, shapeless tops usually do the opposite of what you want them to do. Instead of skimming the body, they pull the eye straight across the widest part of the torso and remove all sense of shape. The result? The outfit feels heavier and less intentional. Flattering outfits aren’t about hiding. They’re about proportion, structure, and where things hit. This is one of the most common adjustments we make with clients — and one of the most freeing once you see the difference.
