Style Tip: Properly Fitting Clothes

Some of the best advice I was ever given was on how to pair clothing so it fits well. It's a very basic concept... if you wear something loose on top you were something tighter on the bottom. If you pair tight with tight you run the risk of featuring the always classy "muffin top"

These pants could work with a baggy top although I would say maybe one size bigger could work better. This top could work with a different pair of pants or maybe a skirt, the two paired together however create this ill fitting look and also with too much tightness runs the risk of looking "easy". For a perfect example of this here is Kim Kardashian wearing an incredibly tight pair of pants with a looser top to show you how this can work.

Though the white top looks fairly fitted the cardigan is a little looser helping to dull down the look as well as hide any imperfections.

Wearing two loose fitting articles of clothing creates a "frumpy" or "bag lady" look. Angelina Jolie is a beautiful woman and has a nice body however this outfit does nothing to show that off or accentuate her figure. This look can make the most beautiful woman look frumpy. Had Angie paired this sweater with a tight pair of jeans she would have looked comfy but not frumpy and the skirt could totally work with a cami!



So there it is Glossy Gurls pair loose with tight for a more polished look that doesn't have any of those nasty effects "shapless" or "muffin top"
