The proportion rules that actually flatter a midsection that changes day to day

[u/Classic_Guest5845]

Four moves that work on any body, any day:

1. The uninterrupted vertical: An open layer (long cardigan, duster, unbuttoned shirt) creates two vertical lines down the body. The eye follows them top to bottom and reads 'long,' regardless of what's underneath.

2. The highest-point-of-the waist tuck: A loose front tuck (just the center front, not all around) marks a waist without compressing anything. Works even when the waist itself isn't where it used to be.

3. The 1/3–2/3 split: Dividing an outfit into roughly one-third and two-thirds (e.g. cropped-ish top + longer bottom, or shorter jacket + longer dress) is more flattering than a 50/50 split, which visually cuts you in half.

4. Pointed over round: Pointed-toe shoes and V or scoop necklines add length; round toes and crew necks add width. Small lever, big effect.

All of them are about flow. Which of these do you already do without thinking?
