The Importance of Texture

Have you ever considered the texture of the clothing you are buying. It is important because it can either add bulk or make you look thinner. Texture is not only the feel of the fabric but the reflection of light and its weight.

Some important considerations:

To minimize - choose textures that are smooth, soft, matte and lightweight since they are not bulky or absorb light.

To maximize - choose rough, hard, shiny and thick fabrics as they add bulk and reflect the light.

As spring appropriates and we shed more clothing, remember gauze for very warm weather and sheer layering pieces over sleeveless (if you wish to cover your arms).
