Your pocket!

Many of us need pockets to pop keys, lippy or coins into … it free’s up our hand’s when we not carrying a bag.  However, while the pocket may be placed conveniently, if that pocket has the wrong detail and shape for your body you will be adding more weight than just that of what you are carrying.

To avoid this you must take note of the horizontal detail of the pocket and where that pocket is placed, especially when the pocket is top stitched in a contrast colour.  When that line of stitching corresponds with the widest part of your body, you have just made yourself look  heavier! - When the bottom of the pocket on your backside falls below your bum cheek you just made your self look shorter!

When in doubt (unless you are trying to add curves) pick garments that have no pockets.  The same applies to pleats, never ever wear pants with a pleated front.  The extra, obvious fabric will always add weight where as a pant that is skillfully cut will have been ‘eased’ to provide comfort to the wearer.
