Do you find yourself wasting time looking for something to wear in the morning? Are you looking for new ideas on what to wear and how to dress for your body? From understanding your body type to knowing what colors work for you, these fashion tips will help you dress for your size. Read on to find out just how you can dress for your size.

Dress to Hide “Problem Areas”

This tip goes hand in hand with flattering your best features. Hiding problem areas is a breeze if you know how and can easily be done with longer sleeves or a few fun accessories to detract attention from the areas you would prefer to keep hidden.

Self-conscious about your arms? Easy! Hide them with capped, bohemian sleeves that create a dreamy look, or choose a striking neckpiece or hat to shift the focus to another part of your body. It's easy if you know how. Use Pinterest and other resources for inspiration.

Choose What Makes You Comfortable

Low-waisted jeans, sky-high stilettos, and tight crop tops may scream alluring but often leave you feeling uncomfortable. You'll constantly be adjusting your clothes to make them fit comfortably.

Ditch the drama and wear what makes you feel most comfortable. Who cares if it's considered trendy or not? You can dress how you want without feeling the need to explain your outfit choices to anyone.

Choose a Color Palette That Suits You

Have you ever had anyone tell you: "Oh, you look like a Winter/Autumn/Spring/Summer," and wondered what they were talking about? If you didn't know, your skin and hair have color tones that you can use to match your clothing.

Stylists often use these color palettes to help choose the best clothing style and color for you based on your skin tone. While this practice has been around for years, not many know what their "season" is. What season are you?

Don’t Hide Under Baggy Clothes

We tend to think that hiding our problem areas with baggy or oversized clothes is a great idea, but it can often have the complete opposite effect and make you look frumpy and even larger than you really are.

Toss those baggy tops and loose pants in the trash where they belong! Choose form-fitting clothing that will flatter your assets while disguising the problem areas. Having your clothes tailored to fit your body type is great for making you appear slimmer.
