The following are five fashion items for the fall-winter season that women should consider as they can make you look like you’ve gained a few extra pounds. If you have a slim figure, you may not be affected too much, but if you’re a pear or apple shape, be cautious before purchasing these items.
1. Knitted Dresses and Pants
Knitted dresses and pants are made of soft fabric, so most knitted items will hug the curves of your body. If you have an imperfect figure with less-than-toned legs and hips, these garments can easily accentuate your flaws. For pear-shaped women, the lower body can appear fuller and rounder, contrary to the gentle and slender image they may desire.
Knitted dresses made of soft fabric tend to cling to the body, easily revealing extra fat.
Knitted sweaters face a similar issue; if they’re too tight, they will reveal all your flaws.
2. Thick Fur Coats
Thick fur coats are a common sight during winter, but women should think twice before buying one. While this style of coat is very warm, it can be quite particular in terms of suiting one’s style and personality. Moreover, due to its bulkiness, it can easily make you look bigger than you are.
Additionally, this type of coat is only wearable for a short time and quickly goes out of fashion. It’s better to opt for a classic, solid-colored coat that showcases your unique style and remains timeless.
Thick fur coats can make women look bulky and are quite particular about the wearer’s style, so you may end up looking cheap instead of classy as intended.
3. Tight Turtlenecks
While some people can pull off tight turtlenecks, it doesn’t work for everyone. If your neck isn’t long enough and you have a round or square face, a tight turtleneck will only accentuate these features, making you look like you’ve gained weight. Additionally, the stretchy fabric clings to the body, highlighting any extra fat on the arms and stomach.
Tight turtleneck sweaters, similar to knitted sweaters, will reveal any extra fat if they’re too tight, and the high neck will make your face look bigger.
4. Oversized Knitted Sweaters
When it comes to oversized knitted sweaters, make sure to try them on before buying. Don’t rely solely on online shopping images. In reality, most women who can pull off this look have very slim figures, long legs, and ample busts. If you don’t have this body type, you may end up looking messy and bigger than you are.
While oversized knitted sweaters may seem like they’d hide extra fat, they can actually make women look disheveled and larger.
5. Holiday Clothing
There are always fashion items specifically designed for the various holidays throughout the year. With Christmas approaching, holiday-themed clothing is already on the market. However, keep in mind that these items are only relevant for a short time, so their usefulness is limited. Don’t get carried away buying all sorts of festive outfits, as you’ll likely only wear them once a year.
Holiday-themed clothing is only applicable for a short period, so it may not be worth the money.
