“Knitwear you get fat” and 6 other myths about knitwear you should forget Fashion

Do you wear knitwear? Stop immediately!!!
No one should wear knits at all, except perhaps Irina Shayk or Gigi, but the latter, and stretched at that: in knitted sweatpants, it is especially noticeable that she has “ugly thin legs” (taken from the comments “good”).

Knitwear “digs” in a way that even the notorious culottes with frills don’t “dig”.

My favorite: “Knitwear is chubby.”

– Oh, so it’s knitted?! – I hear a disappointed voice on the phone, – Can you sew me the same, otherwise I’m a woman with “bun” skin? asks a client who decided to buy a knitted kimono from me.
Thanks to Alexander Vasiliev, every third person now says this about themselves.
“Doesn’t silk make you fat?” I want to ask in response. Soft, especially lighter shades of silk are just a magnifying glass for cellulite! Study the red carpet photos carefully.

Or wear a cotton office shirt in which your side creases are so noticeable. Not fat?.. If you really want to be perfect and you are not ready to accept yourself “you are not perfect” (as far as it goes), and you do not have enough money / will / motivation for sports / healthy lifestyle / nutritionist, then now there is a huge selection of corrective underwear. I personally buy it just for the design. Despite the sarcastic, “Oh, what do you need to haul away?”
They will object to me: The fifty-sixth cannot be pulled down with any supernylon with superlycra! But then we have to talk about “socially approved” and not so approved. And “body approved” knitwear or thick fabric – it doesn’t matter.

In general, in the case of knitwear, a kind of paradox arises, because … knitwear is contraindicated even for thin people! After all, he “emphasizes thinness” (as if that’s a bad thing!). But if you’re thin and god forbid clothes “accentuate” it, what will NOT accentuate your thinness? That is, except for the padded jacket and the same pants.
And in general, what do knitwear have to do with it, you ask?

“A large drawing increases fullness.” I’ll never forget the face of one of my size 50-52 clients, who still agreed to wear a cardigan in multicolored zigzags (of course, matching the size). “God, I feel like I’m forty-eight! And the priest went somewhere! Now I’m going to buy some capri pants and go for a walk on the boardwalk!” – she said.
A large geometric pattern literally dissolves the volume. And stylists are talking about it too.
Maybe it’s that you just want to hear the opposite?

By the way, about the volume. “Be careful with it if your size has exceeded 46,” advise professionals. I’m not arguing. Volumes and proportions are the foundation of foundations. Just to note: you can change the character in the most drastic way by playing with the volumes.
I once knitted a sweater for a friend on knitting needles. Made of thick yarn with a large knit, one size larger and with “so spread” sleeves. So the friend hid his hips and tummy. And he looked massive, but definitely “socially approved”, i.e. not fat at all.

Another common place is bright colors.
— Can this jacket be less bright in tulips? I can’t be bright. I have full cheeks/arms/back/hips.
As Evelina Khromtchenko aptly said, there is nothing easier than looking elegant, dressed completely in black.
And the light knit is for the young and not strong at all.

“You’re easy to tell, you’re thin and I’m just flawed,” I once heard.
Sometimes I think the best answer to that is, “Put on a sack and don’t leave the house.” But I’m not saying this because I myself didn’t wear skirts until I was 26 (unless the model was floor-length) and I have something to tell you about leg-thickening pantyhose and “bulking up a woman’s sweater.”

Tasya Fedina in clothes of her own authorship

Elvira’s features (130 / 90 / 130) plus tall height, plus a braid and huge blue eyes – conquered me so much that I almost begged her on my knees for a photo card for my work account on the social network.
Unfortunately, it turns out that Elvira has a high social status, poorly compatible with social networks, so you’ll have to take my word for it: Elvira looks stunning in a very knitted blouse that “fills out wildly”.

What’s stopping you from doing that? In my opinion, now is the perfect time to wear what you like. And to understand that in the case of clothes, what you feel good about is approved. And knitwear to help!
