TIPS if you are tall and bulky

• Clothing must fit well.
  
  
• Shoulder is likely to be your narrowest part, so it should be closely fitted.
  
  
• Black, navy, brown are good colors to hide heaviness, but the color is wrong if it calls attention to your heaviness by being out of the season.
  
  
• De-emphasize the top-heavy figure by wearing simple, uncluttered styling for blouses, tops and jackets.
  
  
• Hip or mid-thigh length jackets, duster coats, long cardigans are good.
  
  
• Simple, soft draping, batwing or dolman sleeve effects, dark colors and tones are advisable.
  
  
• Patterns should be small and muted.
