The Classic Little Black Dress Optical Illusion Statement

The little black dress is the iconic optical illusion statement. Dark, monochromatic, of course you look thin in it. Just think, you normally wear a black cocktail dress in low lights. You are dressed in camouflage!

But thankfully, fashion is not war. We want to be seen, just in a way that flatters us. Monochromatic looks are great, but they don’t have to be black. It’s still summer so wear a color that looks good on you.

Don’t be afraid of white, you will feel cooler in white. Reduce the solid impression of one color by using different textures in that color.

Highlight your best features with well placed accessories that focus the eye where you want it to go. If you have a great cleavage use colored jewelry, great ankles try a contrasting shoe. Clothes are all about how you wear them. Make sure they fit and then walk out into the summer sunshine!
When fall arrives look for our optically slimming cashmere sweaters.
