Does This Make Me Look Fat? Clothing That Packs on the Pounds

3. The wrong underwear

Ill-fitting underwear can make or break even the most show-stopping outfit. What you choose to wear under your clothes shapes the foundation of your figure.

A bra that doesn't support the girls properly can drag you down and make you look heavier. Likewise, a bra that's too tight can cut into your skin, creating unflattering lumps and bumps under your clothing.

Too-snug undies create visible panty lines that add extra bulges where there shouldn't be. And, when they're too loose, that extra fabric adds junk to the trunk — and not in a good way!

While the majority of people you meet or pass on the street won't ever see your underwear, they will see the underlying effect it has on your overall appearance.
