Fall is coming and it is so nice to wear beatiful office dresses with tights and the ultra-fashionable ankle boots. The great part of wearing a dress in the fall as opposed to the summer is that you don’t need to have a perfect figure as the fabrics are much thicker and conceal more, the colors are darker and slim you down, and the tights, ohh what they do for a woman’s figure!!!
Here is a beatuful example from Banana Republic:
But not for everyone. It depends on body shape. If you have your extra weight in your hips and thighs, it will not flatter you because it will create an illussion that you are heavy all the way down to your ankles. This happens because the trouser’s legs start widening at your widest point. It’s better for women who are thinner from the waist down, even if they have bigger chest and belly. I am not 100% sure about it, but I think they also won’t work for shorter women, you’ll have to try them on and see. I have no way of testing this, as I am quite tall myself.
However, if I could, I would wear them. Here are some WOW pics of trousers I would love to wear if I was built differently. BTW- no chance fashion is going to make me wear something unflattering, I just take the temptation and blog about it:)
