Tops

Over the last few days we have looked at colour choices and fabrics to give your body shape the

best look, today we are going to give you advice on what tops to wear to bring the best out for you.

If you suffer from a rounded back or slumped shoulders invest in a small pair of shoulder pads.

Slip these under your item as they will trick the eye into visually squaring off the shoulders and balance out wide hips .

If your decolletage is lined or creepy, avoid a deep scoop neckline that will expose a large expanse of skin, Also the sweeping shape will add emphasis to a low slung heavy bosom.

As we age skin on our upper arms becomes flabby. It looks more attractive covered with something sheer, Three quarter length sleeves always work.

Slash neck tops & wide boat neck t shirts Visually even out the width of larger hips & bottoms, giving you a more even balanced look all over.

Thick chunky tops add another layer to your end result.

A round polo neck can give a no neck appearance.

Fine knitted v necks will give a slender appearance.

Wear a ruched or gathered top with a zip or buttons up the front, which can form a v neck while retaining a soft shaping.

The soft gathers make a great

disguise of unwanted lumps and bumps, and the v neck shape will elongate the body.

Go for a halter neck with a well fitted bra if you have well toned arms and shoulders.

Big boobs will benefit from a wide v neck that cuts from the edge of the shoulders.

This gives the effect of lifting and separating the breasts.

It also draws attention upwards towards the neck and face, without covering up your assets.
