Clothes can deceive. A properly selected outfit slims, while another adds a few extra pounds just in the place where they are not needed at all, for example, in the waist. Neither men nor women are immune from such "tricks", so everyone should pay attention to their wardrobe.
We also advise you to avoid the following items of clothing, which visually enlarge your belly, turning your waist from aspen to donkey. You might be interested in article 6 of the fashion mistakes most men make.
Elastic waist
Regardless of how many times you can wrap a measuring tape around your waist, an elasticized belt, you can be sure, will add volume to this area. The problem is that the gathers on the belt create unnecessary volume, throwing on a couple of extra pounds.
Sports pants with a similar belt are now in vogue, and if you cannot do without them, opt for models made of thin fabric, the belt on which will not unflatteringly emphasize the waist.
Pleating
Pleated periodically comes into fashion in different forms - be it loose trousers or extravagant trousers. Regardless of the trend, pleating is not the best idea for those looking to accentuate the waist. Take, for example, trousers with large folds ("sweatshirts", in other words), which are in the wardrobe of almost every man. Check out the article 5 types of trousers that hide the belly.
The idea, in theory, is not bad - comfortable practical trousers - however, in practice, everything is very bad. Or, rather, on the contrary, there is no talk of thinness. Assemblies add volume exactly where it is least needed. In addition, they do not always evoke the desired association with the nineties.
Horizontal stripes
You are probably familiar with the vertical stripe effect - it visually adds height and slenderness to the wearer. So, if you want a slimmer waistline, keep button-down blouses and dresses in a horizontal line away from your wardrobe. Otherwise, the waist will look extremely deplorable.
Large patterns
Along with the horizontal stripe, large patterns do your waist a disservice. They visually enlarge the area that they cover, thanks to their graphic properties, which means - hello, extra volume in the abdomen. If you can't resist wearing printed clothes, look for solid or small patterns that won't create the illusion of being overweight.
Zippers, pockets and ruffles
Often, various zippers, pockets and frills on clothes do not carry functional qualities, being only decorative elements. Such "decorations" rarely really decorate! Misplaced frills, zip fasteners, side and front pockets draw unnecessary attention to the belly area that you don't really need.
Shiny materials
Shiny fabrics, or those that reflect light, can play a trick on the waist. Clothing made from these materials makes them look fat due to their reflective properties. The unforgivable shine of satin, for example, makes it a leader on the list of "plump" fabrics. Avoid satin clothing unless you want to disadvantageously emphasize all the unevenness of your figure.
Baggy clothes
Sometimes people mistakenly believe that baggy clothing, covering problem areas, reduces their volume. Meanwhile, the opposite is happening. Overly loose clothing does not hide, but, on the contrary, emphasizes the fullness. It is recommended to wear clothes according to your figure, if necessary, contact the atelier.
Tight clothes
The other extreme is tight-fitting clothing. Tight shirts and dresses make you look plump, visually adding volume to the abdomen. Your sides and stomach will tear out of your trousers and shirts if, instead of honestly buying your Elka, you try to squeeze into the Esca.
