Top and Little top: What Form to Wear to Refine?

Cup, sleeves, collar, color ... Many criteria must be taken into consideration to slim down his bust and refine the silhouette. Our tips and tricks to make the right choice.

We would not necessarily have thought but many small details will make our silhouette appear visually finer wearing this or that form of high. As good for blouses, shirts, t-shirts and other tops of the summer , here are some tips and good reflexes to adopt in our shopping spree for a harmonious guaranteed silhouette.

1. Find the right cut

The importance of form. To refine, it is important to find the right compromise, first in terms of length: neither too short, nor too long of preference! Thus, if one wishes to refine its size and lengthen its legs, it avoids too long cuts that will tend to compact the silhouette. The court meanwhile will be unflattering at the belly, especially if you want to camouflage some small curves or love handles.

In addition, arched cuts will be favored to match the natural curves of the body. And it remains valid for the sexy tank tops as well as tailor's jackets, tunics and dresses in our wardrobe essentials .

The top in the field: the trapezoidal shape . Neither loose nor too tight, this hourglass shape that comes beautifully under the bust, is perfect to refine the bust and structure the whole.

But beware, we say well bent, not tight!

2. Choosing the right neckline

Ultra-important: the shape of the collar . In a general way, it is the V-neck which wins all the votes. Why ? Because he will come to lighten the silhouette and the upper body thanks to the lines he draws. In addition, it will divert the look of shoulders a little wide in favor of a beautifully highlighted neckline .

Other possible options, especially for generous breasts : the round necks but also the squares which, by clearing the neck, perfectly structure the neckline and thin the silhouette.

We avoid: turtlenecks, which choke and engor the bust and therefore give more volume, as well as cowl necks and shawls that weigh down the upper body.

3. Bet on the right sleeve length

Which ones refine the most? The three-quarter sleeves ! Like bat-like sleeves, they thin the upper arm, often the strongest part, while revealing where it is the finest (forearm). The flared sleeves and while fluidity are perfect because they avoid marking curves.

As for the short sleeves, they are obviously allowed. However one will avoid the frills and other frills too voluminous which would go against the expected result if one wishes to refine this part of the body.

4. Choose the right colors and materials

Betting on dark colors to look slimmer is obviously not new. Of course, black or navy will be much more flattering than a pastel hue. However, it is also important to have fun with his favorite colors . Those that absorb light like a nice matte red , a plum, a burgundy or a dark gray will also be very flattering for the body as for the look.

On the material side, the thicker it will be and the more body, the more it will flatter the silhouette. We take care to choose it so as to have a fall more harmonious. Exit so too tight like Stretch. In summer, we allow for fluid and more flexible materials that slide on the skin a homogeneous look.

5. We avoid ...

- The imposing patterns in favor of light and subtle prints,

- The horizontal stripes that stretch the silhouette, but in the wrong direction!,

- The frills and frills that give extra volume to all and therefore grow,

- the senior sleeveless or elasticated sleeves that boudinent,

- the overlays : idem, adding more layers, the more we create this volume effect that magnifies visually,

- The too tight materials that mark and accentuate the defects.

6. The thing more?

Sheathing underwear! Just like the slimming swimsuits that we presented to you this summer, the lingerie is also magic to dress the silhouette , neither seen nor known under the clothes.

The bra obviously has a key role to play, especially for large breasts who must ensure optimal support. The bodies and other high-shaping panties are also unparalleled options to visually remove curves or bulges that are considered unsightly.
