Mr Skinny was extraordinarily thin. If you relate to this MR MEN character, you may find it tricky finding styles, and shapes that suit your slender frame. The trick here is to create the illusion of a V shape, to add bulk and proportion.
This can be done by wearing:
• Lighter colours- say goodbye to monochromatic colour schemes. Single colours from head to toe especially black will make you look even skinnier. Lighter colours are good options, such as white, cream, gray, light blues, and beige
• Horizontals patterns- avoid vertical stripes as they elongate the body and make it look thinner. Horizontal stripes have the opposite effect. Placing a large horizontal stripe near the shoulders helps give the illusion that the upper body is bulkier than it actually is.
• Layering- you can afford to add some bulk to your frame. The key is to wear the tightest-fitting layer next to your skin and present the bulkier layer last, on the outside.
