We all love a good dance and an overpriced drink, but it doesn’t
have to be the usual insecure hot mess that it so regularly is. There are so
many things people stress about before a night out, below are a few problems
that may pop up and how I like to solve them.
But first I’d just like to say that you should wear whatever
makes you feel good. If you are confident and happy, you should absolutely keep
doing what you’re doing, these tips are just based on my own personal
insecurities.
Sweat. Worrying
about sweat patches isn’t how I want to spend my evening and let’s face it, we’re
extra insulated so it gets pretty warm in the club. Carrying a mini spray deodorant
in your bag is essential to keep the sweat at bay. However it cannot always be prevented so make sure you’re dressing cleverly. Wear darker materials, this will conceal
any marks made by sweat (also helpful when you inevitably spill a double vodka
Vimto down yourself) and choose thinner materials. Whatever the weather outside,
the inside of the club is going to be absolutely mafting and believe me breathable materials
will be your friend.
Bingo
Wings. Flabby arms are a huge insecurity for many people including
me. But this doesn’t mean you have to wear long sleeved outfits, boleros,
blazers, shrugs or any other terrible idea that is reserved for fat fashion. There
is a simple answer. Bardot’s. A Bardot
or cold shoulder will ensure that your arms are covered enough for you to dance
confidently, but they also reveal enough skin for you to keep cool and look
fabulous. And if you struggle wearing a strapless bra keep reading…
Boobs. If you have been blessed with an ample rack, you know the
struggle is real to keep them in place on a night out. Firstly, try an avoid
dresses and tops that suffocate your boobs and give you that unflattering uni-boob
rectangle we’re all familiar with. For extra support during those dance moves,
ensure your bra is underwired and has a thick back strap that fits properly. Most
people think it’s the shoulder straps that provide the most support but this isn’t
true. If you are struggling with strapless bras, try going down a cup size to
keep the goods from escaping. But the most amazing thing you can do is by a
multi-way bra and cross the straps at the back, under your arms. This will pull
the front of the bra closer to you and keep the gals secure.
Chins. We’ve all got a few chins hanging around our face, but that shouldn’t
be a reason for you not to enjoy yourself. Voluminous hair will help to solve all of
your fat face related insecurities. This can be achieved in many ways to suit
your individual style and length. Back combing your roots will give your hair
height and will make your face appear thinner. Maybe try a half-up, half-down
style. This will draw the eye upwards, giving your face and neck some length and leave you looking fabulous.
Club/Group Photos. It’s all about the angles sweetie. Make sure you’re
in the middle of the group when taking the photograph as this is the most
flattering place to stand. If you’re on the end it can sometimes make you look
larger and out of proportion to the rest of the group. Also, holding a clutch
bag/drink in front of you or putting an arm around a friend can help to disguise
any insecure areas.
Here’s a picture of me in my
favourite club doing all of these things;
I hope this can help a sister out today,
