Looking Slim Rule 10

Finishing a series based around Leah Feldon's 10 Rules for Dressing Slim. Her Top Ten are all covered in the Personal Style Workshops. This item is Rule 10 Direct Attention to Your Face. Divert attention away from figures challenge(s) and towards your face (the centre of communication) and figure asset(s). Negative Space is created when bare skin is surrounded by material eg cut out sections, necklines. The more attractive the shape of the neckline, the better its negative space and the more effective it is at directing attention to to your face. Scarves they're unbeatable when it comes to redirecting attention plus they can help elongate the body and turn an ordinary outfit into something extraordinary. There are two main shapes: square and oblong. Square are great as shawls but oblongs are more elongating when tied or draped. Scarf Advice:

• Go for top quality; definitely a worthwhile investment as it never goes out of style and will always fit!
• Match clothing weight with scarf weight eg a lightweight chiffon scarf may look unbalanced with a heavy wool jacket.
• Wear scarves in colours that warm your skin and make it glow.
• A print scarf should always include one or more of the colours in your outfit.
