How To Get Comfortable In Your Own Skin

Finding comfort within your own skin and being comfortable with your body image can be challenging. The things that have helped me the most are finding which style of leotards fit my body the best, which style of leotards fit best, with my body shape, and which colors go well with my skin tone. For example, I look better with V-cut leotards and a low back. I have an upside-down triangle body shape, meaning my shoulders and rib cage are wider than my hips. It is important to identify your body shape to find which style looks best on you. I also feel the most confident in the colors: dark purples, navy blues, black, and dark olives greens. I do not look the best in oranges, light blues, and certain shades of pink. You can find which colors look best on you by identifying the undertone of your skin. Your undertone will determine which colors look best with your hair color. To find your undertone, look at the veins in your wrists. If your veins are blue, then you have a cool undertone. If they are green, then you have a warm undertone. Sometimes, when I do not feel confident in my body, I resort to wearing either black tights or trash bag pants. Another helpful tip is to match your skirt color with the color of your leotard; this tends to make you appear taller.
