Why Aren’t You Dressing for Your Body Type ?
While it is important to feel good in your clothes, you should never dress for comfort or fashion alone.
If you ignore the body type you see in the mirror or distort it in your mind, very negative things are going to happen for you.
You will not look your best. You will be fully and consciously aware of this and therefore your moods are going to plummet to the darkest depths.
You will waste an inordinate amount of time on hunting fruitlessly for fashion that fits and looks fab. All fashions cannot look good on all people, not only when you are overweight.
Some fashions are downright ugly. They look terrible even on the professional models that are selected to promote them.
Often we want what the models and celebrities are wearing because we are convinced by expert marketing consultants that we want these things.
We are bombarded with messages both subtle and overt that every new fashion will make us happy, popular, beautiful, youthful, rich, slim…
We have to stop thinking "fashion" and start thinking "style". Find the styles that suit you and only wear them in colors and patterns that work for you.
Once we are prepared to admit that we have a particular body type, we are on the way to dressing for it. If we get it right, even when we are well overweight, we can still look good. So you can be dressing for your body type you have to know what not to wear. The right choice of clothes can slim down your body, create a positive body image and lift your mood. Do not ever dress in clothes that are the fashion of the day unless that fashion happens to coincide with body shape wear that suits you.
