Clothing for a skinnier shape

I'm really skinny and I hate it! My doctor says that I am at a normal weight but everyone makes fun of me for being so thin. It doesn't help that I have really small boobs and a really small butt, which I also get made fun of for.


Is there any way for me to wear cute clothes and bathing suits without looking too really skinny?


Hey girl,

A lot of peeps want to look better in some way, whatever size or shape they are. Remember to love your bod no matter what ya look like. Don't let anyone bring you down. I’m sure you’re beautiful, but if you want to up your confidence, here’s some advice.


First off, let’s start with the top. When you’re trying to create a fuller shape, avoid layers. Instead, go for tops with bold and large prints. Why? Layers have the tendency to make get lost on your smaller frame, while bigger prints will give you a bustier look.


Next in line? The bottom. When it comes to your body and clothes, skinny jeans plus skinny legs don’t add up well. Look for pants that are a bit more spacious. Of course that doesn’t mean that you should wear loose pants, just look for something that adds more to your figure. If your clothes stick completely to your body, and highlights your way skinny legs, it’s not going to help your sitch.


As for the bathing suits, you can follow the first rule and choose bold prints, or try looking for horizontal stripes. Stripes that wrap around your bod will undoubtedly create a wider look to add something in your chest and butt. And don’t be afraid to try tankinis to continue the color and prints.


When you combine these tips with your own style, you’ll be able to look your best any day. But remember that with confidence about your body, you’ll be able to truly embrace your figure and feel your best as well! Smile, you’re beautiful!
