LEARN MEGHAN MARKLE'S TRICK TO CREATE A SMALLER WAIST EFFECT
Knowing our body helps us to get the most out of it with the clothing we choose, to enhance the qualities and leave in the background those areas that we are not interested in highlighting. But when we want to test tricks, the style guide of some celebs is a good place to start. For example, the strapples that Sofía Vergara loves are ideal for her hourglass figure, while the asymmetrical necklines that Kim Kardashian has preferred benefit all silhouettes. If you are looking to refine your waist you will also find more than viable resources for any occasion and Meghan Markle proves it. How? With the perfect shirt and jacket combination for day to day.
At the 2018 Endeavor Fund Awards - the first official engagement Meghan attended after announcing her engagement to Prince Harry - the Californian wore an Alexander McQueen suit consisting of slim trousers that exposed her ankles and a jacket that He was not trying to force the slim-waisted presence, but was subtly hinting at it thanks to the peplum silhouette. He did the same when he visited Croke Park the same year in a blazer that he paired with Givenchy tapered trousers.
To achieve the same effect, Meghan usually resorts to wide belts and skirts. However, with this trick, the volume you create in the lower part defines the hips and creates the illusion of a smaller waist. It greatly favors two types of silhouette: square ones, that is, those with shoulders and hips of the same width because it forms hourglass lines; and those with an inverted triangle, with shoulders slightly wider than their hips, because it balances the proportions.
In fact, Meghan loves this look so much that she even included it in the collection she designed for the Smart Works charity. For every outfit sold was donated to the charity that empowers, supports and dresses! to women who need to build their confidence to be successful in the workplace.
