6. Bells and whistles

Those cute little flourishes that add flair to your favorite fashion pieces can also add pounds to your appearance. Ruffles, bows, billows, oversized collars, big buttons, pleats, cargo pockets, zips, feathers, and fur make whichever part of the body they're adorning appear bigger. Unless you're trying to call attention to a certain area, keep your lines clean and stick to smooth and sleek silhouettes with minimal detail.
