Welcome to the third and final post of this week's series! If you'd like to get caught up, here's where you can find tip number one and tip number two.
A few weeks ago I mentioned my love for mustard yellow then, lo and behold, Target stores opened in Ottawa and this drapey cardigan was welcomed into my closet. I was drawn to this piece immediately not only because of the colour but because I knew this cut would be flattering on my frame.
When looking for knit sweaters to add to your wardrobe, consider pieces that create movement and offer visual interest by draping flatteringly down your body. Nobody likes to put on an outfit and always have to remember to suck it in! This brings me to tip number three:
3. elongate your body
If you look back on all three looks you'll notice this overarching theme in each of my outfits. I try to create long, lean lines that draw the viewer's eye down the body. How do I do this?
- Use proportion to balance out upper and lower halves
- Choose sweaters with elongating front panels
- Draw eyes down the body with vneck openings, pointy-toe heels, and cute captoe flats
