Information on Fashion Myths Myth 1: I am short and filled out, I should avoid long skirts and tops On the contrary, a long skirt will make you look taller, when teamed with a longish tunic. Stylist anaita Shroff feels a layered skirt works for most body types. And fashion designer Nikasha suggests wearing a belt or a bright - patterened strip of fabric, a little below the waist, for visual relief. Myth 2:Im a tall man and could wear a fitted suit with easeMany Indian men have pear-shaped bodies and fitted suits may not look good on them, says Ravi Bajaj. Instead, he suggests wearing jackets or suits that are more flattering to your specific body type. Myth 3:Skinny legs look good in anythingCertainly not in hot pants, cautions Anaita Shroff. Also, on the list of avoidables are teeny-weeny shorts and micro-mini scrirts,which will make your legs look very gangly. Myth 4:Im thin and should avoid wearing a sareeA well structured blouse/choli could just bring out the best in you, avers Shroff." a perfectly-draped saree can give you the semblance of curvaceous hips, while a tight blouse can enhance your cleavage," she says.

While they look great on slim women, if not spaced correctly, they could be disastrous.
