If you're used to trying to "hide" your tummy or thighs by covering it up with a long jacket / top then today's post is just for you!
Visual Harmony
You see clothing and style is all about balance. It literally is all about what I call "visual harmony".
Visual harmony is achieved when the eye sees that your outfit is pleasing. Nothing is out of place - everything is in balance.
The 50/50 ratio (or proportion) rule
One of the areas that is quite often out of balance, is the "ratio" of skirts and tops.
The ideal ratio is 50% of your outfit consists of the top and 50% consists of the skirt.
When you're "hiding" a tum or thighs or bum with a longer top or jacket, the ratio gets out of whack because the top or jacket will actually end up swamping your outfit (and you!)
