Too Tight!


Problem:


Females... of the bigger variety, have to learn that tight clothes does not make one sexier! How many times have I walked down the street and then suddenly I am accosted by the image of a young woman wearing clothes that are totally inappropriate for their body shape. Girls, if you have a big booty, don't try to stuff them into too tight yoga pants and then wear a too tight shirt trying to cover that butt! It's not a pretty sight, and it's probably not all that comfortable to wear either.


Advice:

Bigger doesn't mean unsexy, but some women need to learn how to choose clothing to flatter their bodies. For this problem, choose jeans over yoga pants, or choose yoga pants that don't cling. For jeans, choose a type that has minimal designs on the pocket. A simple wash on the jean that elongates the body is best. For a shirt, avoid the excessively tight shirts and opt for the classic empire waisted "maternity" style tops that have pervaded most stores.

Hello!

The first posting is just a "hello" and a quick blurb on what this blog hopes to accomplish--just a simple guide to dressing well, to those who are perhaps uninitiated. I'm a firm believer in understated elegance, and cringe at those fashionitas who dress over the top in a bid to get attention. That said, the focus of this blog will mostly be on male fashions--with the occasional comment on what women should... and mostly shouldn't wear. A lot of my commentary is based on what I see on the streets of Toronto...
