How to camouflage large arms

Girls, none of us are happy with our body types or shapes. So, if you have large arms, in spite of all that slogging in the gym, let’s give it strength some respect and try to camouflage the problem. There are tons of styles out there to compliment other body parts and take attention away from the arms.
  • What you have to do is think Michelle Obama. She also has rather full arms and that doesn’t stop her from wearing sleeveless. But what she does the best is accentuate her gorgeous shoulder line. Here are some tippers that can help you to camouflage those arms, without compromising on the fashion quotient-
  • Avoid cuts that are too bare like open-sleeve armholes. Stay away from cap sleeves too. Instead pick sleeveless garments that touch the shoulder where the arm connects with it. This takes attention away from the upper arm.
  • Opt for cleaner and sophisticated cuts like simple short sleeves instead of puffs. Make sure that the short sleeves end at a flattering area of the arm like higher or lower than the bicep. Avoid sleeve lengths that end right in middle of the arm. Check out Tadashi Shoji sleeve dress with transparent sleeves and lengths that take attention away from the problem area.
  • Try and graze the arm over long sleeve tops, jackets and cover-ups instead of pulling and yanking. Pick a bigger size for a better fit on the arm, rather than worrying about numbers. If the top pulls too much on wearing, the larger arms become more prominent.
  • V-necks and vertical necklines take attention from the upper body. The longer and leaner look should be your focus
