Wardrobe & Beauty Tips

Losing weight but not ready for a whole new wardrobe yet? Start with your existing wardrobe.

Group your clothes by color.
Now take a look at how many monochrome outfits you can create (monochrome means a single color). You can vary the textures and even color intensity or shades, just keep the same general color. Having the same color or color group from head-to-toe makes you look slimmer than you really are. Now that's a trick worth remembering! Look for long, vertical lines and avoid horizontal lines unless they cross your body at your most flattering points. Examples, if you are heavy in your thighs, avoid color changes or vertical lines that cross your body at that point.

Let's talk color choices.
Dark colors in non-shiny fabrics are the most slimming. Look for fabrics that don't cling to the body. Choose flattering cuts that don't pull or bunch up. Think all you can wear is black? Think again! For fall try out forest green, deep plum or burgundy, the new very dark browns and of course navy or deep aquamarine. Keep the monotone theme and add a splash of contrast with a scarf near your face, after all, it is your best feature!

Try Lands End online modeling!
Now, for a little fun try visiting the Lands End site. They have an interactive model you can create to see how clothes will look on you. Try it out, create a model in your body type, then look for outfits you like and you can try them on the model and see how they would look on you. Try some monochrome outfits on and see how flattering they are compared to non-monochrome - it's really quite dramatic!
