It would seem that the 80’s are back this season. Everywhere we turn there are batwing tops, smocks and baggy dresses. The problem is that these kinds of baggy clothes can look like tents or shapeless sacks if not worn in the right way. You are best suited to this trend if you are skinny, though wear with caution. Try to combine baggy items with tighter items such as leggings and show off your waist with a belt. Curvy woman, ie anyone with a bit of meat on them, should probably avoid these items. If you have bit of a stomach these kind of clothes can disguise it but only if the rest of you is quite thin. Make sure you show off your other assets.

A mistake people often make if they are worried about their weight is to cover up with baggy clothes. They think that people won’t see their problem areas but it just ends up making them look really huge in general. This is definitely the case with the current trend of baggy tops and dresses. To summarize:

• If you are thin combine this look with leggings and try to wear a belt
• If you have a pot belly but the rest of you is thin then this trend can disguise it
• If are curvy try to avoid this trend
