LANI - BIG BOTTOM

Big bottoms are common but by choosing the right cut you can wear clothes with confidence. Below are some helpful tips to keep in mind when choosing clothes. First, however, it is important you identify which body shape you are and combine the following suggestions to create a great look.

Focus: Make the most of this female asset by showing it off to its best advantage.

Hot tips:

  • Bright coloured tops to draw the eye up the body – consider accessories around your neckline too
  • Tailored tops and jackets which shape in at the waist and flare over your bottom to disguise it
  • Pair short tailored jackets with longer skirts and long jackets with shorter skirts to balance your proportions
  • Dark base colours on your lower half slim your body
  • Wide leg trousers that drape over the bottom, tummy and thighs in fine tailored or drapey fabrics balance your proportions
  • Side fastening, easy fitting (not baggy!) trousers that fall away from the bottom rather than tightly cupping underneath reduce your size
  • Straight skirts that gently skim over your figure are slimming
  • Flared skirts which sit nicely over the bottom and flare away from the back of the thighs make your bottom less noticeable

Crimes:

  • Skirts and trousers with a high waistband will make your bottom appear larger
  • Extra short skirts unless you have a high firm rear
  • Skirts or trousers that hug the bottom look too tight and add weight
  • Heavily tapered skirts and trousers make your thighs and bottom look bigger
  • Jackets or tops that end at the widest part of the bottom add width
  • Tops and jacket styles that fit tightly over the bottom just add weight
