Bottom Heavy If you have been blessed with a Jlo-like bottom, there are a number of ways to work it to your advantage. First of all, stay away from bottoms that are too tight. These will make you look bigger and, as much as you want to show off your assets, you dont want to look out of proportion. Larger pants that stay wide all the way down the legs will help make your bottom look smaller. Also, choose tops that lie just above the waist, anything too long will also draw attention to the wrong places. If youre looking to take attention away from your bottom, choose bright colors on top and neutral colors like black on the bottom.
Top Heavy If you want to look a little smaller on top yes, some of us do you basically need to do the opposite of the directions listed above. Choose brighter colors on the bottom, neutral colors on the top and try to stay away from v-necks or low-cut shirts (these will only draw attention to your chest). The more you cover up, the less attention is drawn to that area. Also, you may want to stay away bulky necklaces, or scarves which will also draw the attention upwards. If you want to play up your look with accessories, you may want to focus your attention more on belts, which will keep the eyes at waist level.
