NOUBI SAYS: ✓ Clothing must fit well. ✓ The shoulder is likely to be your narrowest part, so it should be closely fitted. ✓ Black, navy, brown are good colors to hide heaviness, but the color is wrong if it calls attention to your heaviness by being out of the season. ✓ De-emphasize the top-heavy figure by wearing simple, uncluttered styling for blouses, tops, and jackets.
TIPS: If you are TALL and BULKY
