8. Busy Prints and Patterns
Large, bold prints and patterns can overwhelm your frame, especially if you have a petite or curvy body type. The eye is naturally drawn to these prints, which can add visual weight and make you look heavier.
For a more slimming effect, choose smaller, more delicate prints or pair bold patterns with solid, neutral pieces. This creates balance in your outfit and prevents the pattern from overpowering your shape.
