Women that are skinny tend to have the same problem as women that have a larger frame – they just can’t get clothes to fit. Loads of women envy a woman with a skinny frame, but when it comes to dressing it isn’t always as easy as it looks. Clothes can appear to hang off the long and angular body frame, which isn’t what you need. Clothing needs to help create curves where there is very little. To create this affect you can go either way – wear tight, close cuts or longer, bigger cuts to make you appear wider. However, you will find that some stores now specialize in slim clothing. Think fabrics are good for your figure, as it helps you to appear slightly chunkier, the same goes for layering clothing. You can near enough where any colour (as long as it suits your complexion), but try to play with contrast colours to look slightly wider. When choosing a dress, try and pick something above the knee to accentuate your long skinny legs. Ideally the skirt needs to have some volume (e.g. pleats or a balloon skirt – which can look good if your either petite or tall), so that it makes your hips look slightly wider, giving a curvy affect. The top half of the dress needs to accentuate any potential curves, which can be created by big thrills and bold patterns. Here is an ideal dress for the skinny figure from the Zeleb collection, as it creates curves in all the right places.
