Black slims: true or false? | Explanations

We keep telling ourselves that we have to dress in black to look slimmer, we all look like grieving widows, even in the middle of summer. So stop!

Why does black thin? Well, it gums out shapes because dark colors reflect little or no light and hide folds, curves, etc. . So by optical effect, black (as opposed to white), gives an impression of thinness. It is therefore “true”.

Well, that was the “scientific” explanation. Now, let's try to find other alternatives to give the illusion without adopting the 100% dark look! If you are wondering what color to wear to look slimmer, this article should give you some food for thought!

Avoid the 100% dark look

The mistake not to make is to adopt the dark look 100%. Honestly, it's really creepy. Black has always been the color of mourning. And even if it has become more democratized in the world of fashion, it is no less austere. So even if you have some complexes and you rely on black to help you, we still advise you to accessorize with peppy and flashy colors:

• shimmering red XXL handbag; 🎒
• golden hoop earrings;
• an emerald green pouch;
• an electric blue scarf;
• leopard sandals.

The goal: to add sparkle to your look and avoid blending into the background.

Slim your silhouette with other dark colors

Golden rule: avoid white and neon colors! It will not put you in value at all, far from it! Let's face it, dark colors are magical enough to refine the silhouette (or, in any case, give the illusion of it) in an elegant way! Come out of the dark and open your perspectives. If you're wondering what are the colors that slim down, here is a list of different beautiful colors that are overlooked far too much.
