It’s time to accept that in the modern world we all (almost) live by the rules of social networks. If you haven’t taken photos of food, haven’t been to a restaurant, haven’t posted a video from the bar, haven’t hung out, haven’t taken a mirror selfie with a cool look – the day has gone to waste. Of course, there is a category of people who choose to be happy and give up social networks, but this is a completely different story.
Our today’s material is dedicated to those who, in an uncertain situation, turn on the phone camera and create content literally from nothing. And for the sake of stylish shots, I am ready to spend hours thinking over images in front of the mirror.
True, it is worth remembering that some wardrobe items can look beautiful in life, but bad in the photo. Agree, there are situations when, looking in the mirror, you can not help but admire yourself, but for some reason the camera refuses to perceive this beauty. It’s all about insidious things. We have collected the top 5 items that are better not to photograph.
Belly draped dresses
Drapery is one of the main trends of this spring-summer season. Last September, various ruffled dresses, tops and skirts appeared in the collections of Di Petsa (Greek Dimitra Petsa made drapery “wet” dresses the main feature of her brand), JW Anderson, Staud, KNWLS, Dion Lee and many other brands. But there is one important point that applies to all wardrobe items with drapery on the stomach. In life, they will look advantageous, but in the photo they can add unwanted volume to the abdomen. Especially if you are photographing in profile. To avoid this, you should be careful with items with drapery in the hip or chest area.
Ankle-strap shoes or sandals
Yes, yes, if you want to create content for social networks, you should also pay attention to the latest fashion ankle boots. The fact is that such shoes visually “cut” your legs, making them noticeably shorter. As a result, in the photo you will look shorter than you really are (even a low angle will not save the situation). In life, this is not very noticeable, but in photos there may be problems. Therefore, for all shots it is better to choose classic slingbacks or mules.
A dress that is not too tight
We think you know what we are talking about. There are dresses that fit 100%, loose-fitting and A-line models, and there are also options made of natural fabrics (linen, cotton or silk), which provide a little “air” in the waist and hips. In life, they look very cool and natural, it is comfortable to spend even the whole day in them, as they do not hinder movement. But there is also a minus. In the photo, your figure will look a little different (not in the best sense), and to emphasize the waist, you will have to resort to the forbidden technique codenamed “hands on hips”.
Low Waist Jeans
Jeans, trousers and low-rise skirts, which have dominated fashion in the last few years, can also play a cruel joke on you. They can be used in everyday life to emphasize the waist, belly and hips, but in the photo they can significantly shorten your legs. Especially if the shot is taken from above. So if you still want to take a photo with low-rise trousers, try taking a photo while sitting or just cut your legs just above the knee.
Zipper corset top
The classic lace-up corset is one of the sexiest wardrobe items in history. If you need to emphasize your waist or chest, then the corset will definitely cope with this task. True, there is one thing. We are talking about lace-up corsets that can only be adjusted to the body – in some places tighter, in others looser. But zippered corset tops cannot be “customized” to your figure. Of course, there are different models, and some of them can fit perfectly, but this is quite rare. Most often, there is a little “air” left either in the chest area or in the waist area, which spoils everything. In life, this is not so noticeable, but in the photos you will receive a few unwanted centimeters as a gift.
