How To Avoid Feeling Frumpy In Oversized Clothing or Layers
There’s a simple secret to giving your body a defined shape and avoid feeling frumpy in oversized clothing or layered looks. All you need to do is expose at least 2 of the following 4 areas:
❶ Your collarbone: Avoid high or turtleneck tops when the rest of your look is on the baggy side
❷ Your wrists: To do this, simply push up long sleeves or opt for a short or 3/4 sleeve top
❸ Your waist: Define your waist by adding a belt to an oversized sweater or loose top
❹ Your ankles: If you’re going with a boxy look up top, keep your lower half streamlined by opting for a simple skirt, a cropped jean, or a cigarette pant that shows off your ankles
