How to disguise wide hips

Most Brazilian women have a broad hip, as do most latinas. For some this is an advantage, but for others a torment. If you have hip is wide and it bothers you, don't panic. There are some fashion tricks to disguise this feature.

The first tip to disguise the wide hip is not to abuse too tight clothes. This can highlight your curves and make the look vulgar. Avoid short and clingy skirts, prefer skirts with straight cut and length below the knee.


Below the waist, always try to use darker shades. Try not to wear too-low-waisted, patterned, pleated, embroidered or horizontally striped trousers so as not to further highlight the hip. Shoulder bags that are hip level should also be avoided.

Avoid loose pieces at hip height and opt for straight, classic cuts, preferably pants with the widest leg. This type of cut narrows the difference between leg and hip width.

The use of blazers and jackets on the upper body is another tip on how to disguise a wide hip, because it also narrows the difference with the hip, giving more balance to the shapes. If your torso is much thinner than your hip, wear light-colored blouses with ruffled blouses or gowns and bet on the neck accessories. If your torso and hip don't have much of a difference in width, wear blouses that are less bulky but not overly tight either.

Either way, the key to disguising a wide hip is to seek balance between your upper and lower body. This way you highlight the smaller, disguise the larger and create a more harmonious symmetry.
