Putting together an outfit that appears ultra-flattering isn’t easy. Honestly, it requires a great deal of thought! Generally, we like to go for an all-black ensemble — but we had the realization that baggier, oversized pieces might be able to accomplish the goal as well.
It may seem strange to think that a looser silhouette will make your personal silhouette appear slimmer, but with the proper clothing items, it’s an effective method. Interested?
