Summer is here and we are looking forward to hot days. Wearing white is even more prominent this summer. You may want to wear an entire white outfit from head to toe, a blouse, a dress or a pant outfit. How will you decide what pieces to select to emphasize your best features. Lighter colors bring the eye there first! Creating balance with your figure is always the ultimate goal. Emphasize or de-emphasize attention as in the cut out lace at the waist with the full skirt. The cut out de- emphasizes the full skirt at the hips. The back belt emphasizes the waist bringing more attention to the uneven hemline. Tone on tone is a slimmer look than layering. The white lace top over the simple white skirt brings your eye to the details of the lace top. Light to dark or dark to light will give emphasis where the lighter piece is worn. The big blouse is a trend that is comfortable and can play a dual role, creating an illusion of a bustier figure and it can deemphasize a larger bust. In this image the short skirt is black giving a severe contrast and taking the pressure off the hips and tummy. Legs are shapely which gives a shorter skirt a great detail for legs as one of your best assets. The short skirt also elongated your body, so with a fuller top, not wanting to appear short or stocky, a shorter simple skirt can create balance. Wear White all summer with so many styles to choose from. Stand in front of a long mirror and have fun with what you see.
