Change Your Body Type With an Optical Illusion

When you know your body type you can change the look of it just by using optical illusions.  This is the key to looking taller, shorter, thinner, etc.

 

Which center of the flower is bigger?  The top left, right? Wrong. They are the same size.  Even if our brain knows they are the same size, our eyes think the one on the top left is bigger.

 

 

 

Let’s apply this to your clothes. 

 

Example 1:  If your clothing is too tight you will look bigger.  If your clothing is too big you will look smaller.  This is the opposite of what you are trying to accomplish by wearing your clothes too big or too small.

 

Example 2: Choose a handbag that is in proportion with your size.  A handbag that is very small in proportion to your body will make you look bigger.  A bag that is huge will overpower you, making you look smaller.
