The Right Cut

Think about this: What is your shape? Do you have curves? Are you slender? Do you think you have a large rear? Or perhaps, you have a well endowed chest? Who knows you better then yourself? Try this: Stand in front of a mirror with clothes on. What do you see? It's difficult to see shape when we are wearing clothes, so try this again wearing only undergarments or completely naked. That's your choice. If you have curves, and perhaps, wider hips, you might want to look for jeans that have some flair in the leg. This will create symmetry in your body when you are wearing clothes. If you are smaller and have less curves, you might want to go with a boot cut leg, or maybe straight leg jeans. Either way, you want to accent the features that you have, not hide them. Wearing clothes that are too baggy are just as bad as wearing clothes that are too tight. No one wants to see every little crease you have, but no one wants you to hide your figure either. The plus side to this is that you get to feel good about what you are wearing and the price you paid for the item. If you are looking for dresser clothes, keep in mind what you are looking for when you look for every day clothes. What do you like? What fits? What accents your features? Don't go for clothes that are extremely flashy, but don't go for clothes that make you look like you don't live in this century. Also, it's been my experience, for most people, it is a good idea to stay away from shoulder pads as much as possible. These make most people look too boxy and are generally unnecessary to most garments (except perhaps suits for men). I hope that all of this helps with your next thrift shopping adventure and my next post will be dedicated to what non-clothing items should not be purchased at a thrift store.
