I propose to talk about the methods of body shaping that stylists use in their work. It will focus not only on ways to hide figure flaws, but also on those with which you can emphasize the dignity of our figure. I think everyone can find flaws in themselves, but let's remember that there are a lot of nuances that we can beautifully present and make our zest. So, let's begin.

Working with verticals

It is one of the most famous and working techniques. We use it when we want to look slimmer, taller, reduce or extend some area.

The verticals can be:

• monochrome image in one color or in shades of one color. One color visually draws one vertical line and thereby makes the figure slimmer and taller;
  
• The V-neck also creates the illusion of a vertical line;
  
• trousers to the floor are a good example of vertical, but the main condition here is precisely to the floor;
  
• the high waistline also helps to stretch the silhouette.
  

Working with contours

Sometimes it is necessary to enlarge a certain area in order to harmonize the proportions of the figure, or to add volume to the figure in general. And here the horizontal lines will help us. As a horizontal, not only a horizontal strip can act, but also, for example, a combination of colors in an equal proportion of 1: 1.

Approximation

This technique will help to increase, draw attention to a certain area, i.e. we use it when we want to do something more, add volume. They work well here: light warm shades and a glossy texture.

Distancing

This method is the opposite of approximation. Those. this technique reduces, slims, makes the figure or some area visually smaller. Here we use dark cold shades and a matte texture.

Shifting attention

We use it when it is necessary to balance the figure, to divert attention from the shortcomings. Those. in fact, we shift our attention to the area that is dignity. These can be large accent accessories that always catch the eye, as well as active decor in clothes - voluminous ruffles, flounces, appliqués. We use all this in the zone of dignity, and in the zone from which we need to divert attention we use the most laconic things. For example, a large accent necklace can help divert attention away from the hips.

Accentuation

Using this method, we will emphasize our merits, i.e. we use it when it is necessary to draw attention to a certain area and focus on dignity. To do this, on the area that will act as an accent, you can place: accessories, bright color, print, active decor in clothes (embroidery, appliques, stripes).

Demonstration

Another way to emphasize dignity is a demonstration technique, with the help of which you can draw attention to a certain area or emphasize dignity. For this we use open areas of the body or transparent fabrics. A belt over the dress is also a demonstration technique, because helps to show the silhouette.

Maximizing

With the help of the maximization technique, you can make a certain area slimmer, more graceful, and give fragility. For example, to emphasize fragile wrists, we use massive watches or bracelets. And if we want to emphasize graceful legs, then choose boots with a wide bootleg. Those. when there is freedom around the leg, when the boots do not fit the leg, the legs will look more graceful.

Correspondence

And this is the last technique that we will look at today. This method helps to make the figure more harmonious, slimmer, more graceful. To do this, we select prints, accessories in proportion to the figure.A miniature girl chooses miniature prints for herself (for example, a narrower strip), and a larger girl chooses for herself a larger print (wider strip), larger accessories. And due to this balance of sizes, the figure will look more harmonious and slimmer.
