‘Posture Is Important’
It is very sad to see women spend much money on clothes, but ruin the effect the moment they put them on.
If you walk round like a round-shouldered penguin, it is useless to expect clothes to have some magical power to make you look attractive. After all, there is not much point in gilding the lily if the stem is bent.
Model schools say that only two out of 10 applicants have any idea of how to hold themselves properly, and that is a reasonably accurate percentage in everyday life, too. Glance at yourself in a shop-window next time you are waiting for a bus. Are you standing straight? Or is your spine curved and your neck stuck forward?
Good posture puts the least strain on the various parts of the body and requires the least energy to maintain.
So learn to stand up! You will find it makes your clothes look—almost—as they did on that model in the shop window, who seems to have absolutely no trouble with her posture.
