Before anything, let me explain this metaphor of “cutting the silhouette”. Why is that? Well, depending on how you dress something, this can be made in favor of your silhouette or not. Each biotype has something different we like to hide or emphasize – we just need to discover how. And the “cutting” effect is something that can make you look shorter or larger or fatter.

And that is what I am going to talk about: mistakes you shouldn’t do, exactly to be better dressed in favor of your type of body. Take a look and don’t forget!

1. HORIZONTAL STRIPES: Sometimes this can be a styling trick considered myth, which is not. It is real, specially if the colors of your stripes are very contrasting or if the stripes are bold. Horizon stripes make you look fatter and emphasize a part of your body, so, remember to stay away of them if you wanto to look skinnier. The opposite works, too: try bold stripes in parts of your body you want it to look bigger.

2. BELTS: It is an accessory that can both help or disturb your outfit. You must take care with it: it can makes you look curvilinear or emphasize some fat part of your body. The visual effect is not so good either if you make use of too contrasting colors or if your belt is too large. Also, take care the way you wear it: too tight or too wide – both are not such good options.

3. COLOR BLOCKS: Using different colors in the same outfit can turn your look more interesting but, at the same time, it can visually cut your silhouette. So you should take care about the colors you put together – strong hues emphasize, while light hues dissemble.
