What to avoid with wide hips:
However, there are some fashion faux pas to avoid if you don't want to widen your hips further.
- Avoid dress trousers. In general, dress trousers can make your hips look wider, so if you want to make them look good, it would be best to avoid these kinds of trousers.
- Avoid frills and ruffles: these superfluous details can accentuate your hips, especially if they are placed at waist level.
- Avoid material that emphasises the hips, such as lycra, or textiles that are too elastic. Forget oversized outfits too; if you think that hiding your hips will make you look good, think again, this will have the opposite effect!
- Avoid overly conspicuous prints on the lower body. If you want to highlight your hips, wear prints on the top of the body rather than at the bottom. Too much detail can make your figure look heavier, and also widen it.
Finally, remember that all women are different and the most important thing is to feel good about yourself and your clothes. So forget your complexes and prejudices becauseall bodies are beautiful!
