What would look good on a slim but large frame?

Most modern fashion icons are not only slim but have small bone structures. I’m “big boned” with big feet, wide shoulders, wide pelvis and long arms, 5’5 135 lbs, size 7/8 (though most people think I’m thinner), supershort auburn hair, full bust, pale skin and hazel eyes. I’m slim and toned for my body but I often feel gangly in all these clothes designed for smaller women. I love the fashions of the 60s and 70s, the minidresses and big fur coats (think Edie Sedgwick), but I feel out of place in them even though I have slim legs

V-neck tops will break the visual line of the shoulders and make them look


narrower; also, scoop-necks have the same effect. By the same token,


avoid tops that emphasize the shoulder lines, like boat necks and halter


tops.





An unstructured jacket or cardigan will also suit you--and avoid very


fitted suitjackets, since they tend to make shoulders look broader. You


might try a double-breasted jacket, since that focuses attention on the


front and waist rather than the shoulder line. And, avoid jackets,


sweaters, etc., with any kind of detailing at the shoulders. Finally, be


careful with men's style shirts--with your strong shoulder line, they can


look more masculine than you might intend.





Look for bottoms that balance your shoulder line--fuller skirts,


wide-legged pants, etc., will help create a balanced line (and help your


waist look narrow).





wear clothes that match your eye colour!


it will make them stick out,


avoid dark colours such as black.. to make your skin not look to washed out

You would look good in anything!
Reply:accept yourself for who you are. who cares what others look like. you only feel like you do because you think about yourself like you do. if you hold your head high with a positive attitude you'll feel a lot better trust me.
Reply:Please don't wear fur. yeah, I said it!


I have no idea what would look good for you, but I know that if you are self confidant, you will look your best!
Reply:I too am "big boned" but I am also slim.





I normally just try to avoid anything with horizontal stripes becuz they make you look fatter,Vertical stripes make you look thinner :)
