TOPS

• Colorful tops:

Be sure to lay more emphasis on the color of tops than pants. Always pair your pants with colorful tops that match your skin undertone.

• Off-the-shoulder tops: Off-shoulder tops take away attention from thighs and increase more focus on collarbones and thighs.

• Striped cardigan: For your big thighs, choosing a striped cardigan with the hems falling over your thighs is a good preference.

• Statement tops: Wear tops with lots of designs, colors, and even written words. It would draw more eyes to the upper body than the lower one and your big thighs won’t easily get seen.

How Long should your top be?

You can go shorter, like a crop top.

These can bring the focus upwards, drawing attention away from your thighs.

Or, you can go longer.

But, avoid tops that end right at the widest part of your thighs.

• Blazers: Another great tip for highlighting your upper body instead of your lower body is by wearing colorful blazers.

• Suit: If you have big thighs, you should wear really bright and flashy suits. As printed suits look really great on ladies with big thighs and short legs.
