Colors

The colors contribute to disguise the imperfections and enhance the positive points.

• Light and bright colors increase;
• Dark colors and mates decrease;
• The vibrant colors highlight and rejoice – red Mariposa Cap-Sleeve Lace Maxi Dress, Hot Red, shocking pink 3/4-Sleeve High-Neck Sheath Dress, Watermelon, orange Deep V-Neck Asymmetric Ruffle Dress, strong yellow Double-Faced Bow-Back Sheath Dress, bluebird Short-Sleeve Ribbed Dress W/ Mesh, turquoiseNathan Silk Halter Dress, Laguna…
• The sober colors soften and attenuate – beige Geri Dress, persimmon, pearl Cashmere Poncho, light gray, pink, lilac, sea-green, light blue, blue-gray…

It’s always worth remembering color contrast can be dangerous, if the problem is the structure. Short people, should avoid “to cut” the silhouette in the middle, wearing for this a white shirt with black pants, or even, to stop a single color with a contrasting belt.

• Who has a slender trunk and massive hips, should never use light pants and dark shirt – this combination makes your hips look even bulkier.
• The ideal is always to use dark colors from the waist down, to decrease hips volume.
• You can disguise a big breast with dark sweaters. When using light colors, you should prefer sober tones and escape the vibrant hues.
