Sometimes a top that I cannot wear in a lighter colour I can wear in black because the crepe paper look of the skin on my tummy is highlighted by a lighter hue. But generally speaking, darker colours are more slimming, but columns of colour are slimming, too, regardless of whether they are white, pastel, bright or black. And, of course, fit is paramount with any garment. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-clothing#post-1191919 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 23:06:11 +0000 Gaylene 1191919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sure, if you stand in front of a black background. ;)</p> <p>Seriously, I think figure flattery is more complicated than just wearing a particular color. Fit, structure, fabric, design, drape, proportion--I could keep going, but you get the drift--are all important factors if you want to look slimmer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-clothing#post-1191887 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 21:54:08 +0000 citygirldc 1191887@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think black makes me look slimmer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-clothing#post-1191884 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 21:52:12 +0000 Gigi 1191884@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In general, from what I have read and experienced, it is very dark colors in general that make you look slimmer. So it doesn't have to be black. It could be a navy, a charcoal, a very dark purple, etc. Like Alexandra said, there are some people who aren't flattered by black. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-clothing#post-1191567 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 14:11:02 +0000 Alexandra 1191567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If black is a color that makes you look your best, then yes, it can be slimming. If black is not one of your best colors, it's just going to look like a heavy block of black, calling attention to itself. There are other dark neutrals that work better for people who aren't flattered by black. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-clothing#post-1191553 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 13:43:46 +0000 Ingunn 1191553@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To some extent this is true, because dark colors recede, while bright, light colors can make you look larger. But in the end fit and structure is more important. An all black outfit may also make you look tired or older, which are not desirable effects to most:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-clothing#post-1191548 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 13:39:43 +0000 Day Vies 1191548@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agreeing with Deborah. Color can affect whether we look slim or not but an ill-fitting black outfit will never look as slimming as a perfectly fitted white outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-clothing#post-1191478 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 12:02:04 +0000 rute 1191478@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For me the most important is the fit and&nbsp;the structure. Angie has recently&nbsp;made a serie of amazing post on how to dress each body type </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-clothing#post-1191476 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 11:59:54 +0000 Deborah 1191476@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this might be a question for Angie:). </p> <p>I think it can, but I don't think it's an absolute. Things like cut and fit can also impact how slim or otherwise we might look in our clothes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-clothing#post-1191473 Tue, 11 Mar 2014 11:47:18 +0000 chandre 1191473@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Is it true black clothing makes you look skinnier? </p>
