I have a question about using the column of color to look taller (as a curvy petite H shape ) – should I only wear darker tops, avoiding white or cream tops ?
There are two major ways to wear a column of colour, on the outside, or on the inside.
- The version on the outside suits those who feel their hips/bottom/thighs are the area they want to draw least attention to (A, X, 8 Shapes)
- The inside version is ideal for those who want to hide their tummy (H, O and some V shapes).

The joy of the column of color is that because it elongates, just by being an unbroken vertical line, it doesn’t have to be all dark, you can do a lighter coloured version should you wish to. Sure a darker column will be more slimming (and remember it doesn’t have to be black), but it’s not the only way.
If you want to wear your light/white tops, wear the column on the outside (in summer can you add a small vest to create the column?).
