The reason behind this is due to the illusion of colors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you wear a purple top with white pants, the big contrast of the color will make your body look like two separate squares visually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, with a similar tone of hues, your body figure will become a long rectangle and that&rsquo;s why you feel like you look taller! As empire waist tops can be flowy, monochrome can always shed the weight off and make you look put together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My favorite monochrome look is pairing a beige top with cream satin pants and a pair of brown loafers. With a similar soft color tone, it just adds a sense of femininity to the look!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><br>&#10084;&#65039;Girl&rsquo;s fashion hack #3:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rub clear deodorant on the inside hem of pants\/skirts to prevent thigh chafing. &#10084;&#65039;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4.
