4 key mistakes in winter looks that “eat” your waist and ruin your figure

It is much easier to look good in summer than in autumn and winter. Agree, it’s hard to go wrong with picking a cute sundress and sandals, and a combo with denim shorts, a shirt and simple sneakers is usually a life-saving trio that always helps. But coping with multi-layered outfits is already a problem with an asterisk, the wrong solution of which is fraught with big fashion mistakes.

At a minimum, you’ll just create a look without stylish accents or cool details, and at a maximum, you’ll ruin your figure. Even if you spent the whole year immersing yourself in the gym, pumping the press, it will easily “float” if you put on the wrong sweater in combination with a down jacket or jeans of the wrong cut. To prevent such offensive nonsense from happening, we tell you which 4 details spoil winter pictures – beware of them!

Let’s start with the most common flat tire – bad nappies. In winter, you need to warm up, so you often wear a cardigan over a turtleneck, and leggings under jeans. And, if you take it the wrong way, you get a strange sight: for example, a thin long sleeve is on the top of the pants – you get nasty bumps. Or jeans that already looked like skinny become “wooden” because of the extra layer underneath.

Sweaters and knitted sweaters are considered ideal winter wear for a reason. It is enough to get 2-3 models to combine them with classic trousers, jeans, chinos, skirts, dresses – it doesn’t matter. And they will save you time all the time, but only if the jerseys are chosen correctly.

By “proper” we mean solid fit and stylistic integrity. That is, if it’s a lightweight sports model (yes, there are), let it have elastic bands on the sleeves and stripes. And if you choose a traditional style, then let the new thing be tight, quite heavy, straight cut. And if you combine a thick knit and an elastic band on the wrist, you get a “bomb” – folds on the stomach. And hello, 5 extra pounds!

Another common mistake that visually shortens the figure is the wrong length of clothing. The combination of a midi dress and a down jacket a few inches above him looks strange and messy. At the same time, yes, the same midi skirt and the same short jacket can be an interesting set. But when the difference is small – yes, it is noticeable and spoils the view. Alas! It’s all in the details.

Another enemy of a harmonious and neat image is an unbuttoned shirt. “But even the most popular fashionistas walk like this in the summer!” you say. We’re not arguing – and who’s to say bulky open-toe shirts actually look cool? But this cool trick works in the summer, when laid-back accents demand your outfit.
