How To Choose Long Tops

Now, long top is great for someone who is short in the body because it helps to, by dropping the line of the top, extend the length of your top half, cutting in to your lower half. So, it creates the illusion of a longer body. Now, if you are a bit bigger on the hips or on the bottom or on the thighs, be very careful, when wearing a long top because, by its nature in the where it sits, it's at your widest point.

So, it's going to generally draw the eye to that area which naturally is not what your aim is. So, for you, normally tops that sit above it will suit you better. As an example, this is a long top which is a very fitted, knitted top, it's going to hug all of your curves.

So, if you are conscious of any lumps or bumps around your tummy, then going for a fitted top option is not ideal, but also it's going to sit right, cutting through your thigh, so it will make a thigh or hip bigger. So, just be very careful in your selection. If you have a short torso, but you are actually very slim, then by choosing a long top that has a horizontal detailing through it, that will actually give your more shape & make your hip bigger & give you some curves.

So, you can still go for a long top which will lengthen the appearance of your top half but the horizontal lines will be giving you the shape, but they won't counterbalance the length of your top. It will still create the effect of lengthening your torso. So, the most important thing while choosing a long top is to consider where it sits & whether it's highlighting any thing that you don't wanted to, in terms of how fitted it is.

But, if you have a short torso & you want to create length, then a long top is ideal for you. So, hopefully, you found those tips useful for when selecting a long top and if want to find out any more information, then please do look at my other videos. .
