Does my bum look big(ger) in this!?

[tye_bo]

Two tone jods on a larger bum - I can't work out if this a no-no or not? The jods I am thinking of getting are a navy primarily and then the seat the inside legs is a royal blue. Will this have a slimming effect on my larger behind or make it look even bigger?

Hang on heres a link to what I mean - its the top row in the middle http://www.triedtested.co.uk/ladies-jodh...08-colours.html

Shouldnt be to bad,I think I got a large bum and I just bought a pair of *brightish* pink jods!!!

Not sure how big you are, *probs smaller than you think!*

I have a pair of two tone jods, well 3 pairs actually and have had many a compliment in them....

go for it!

Isn't there a rule about this - bit like wearing horizontal / vertical stripes. Lighter colour on the inside makes you look slimmer, lighter colour on the outside makes you look wider?

Might have got that the wrong way round.

I have a pair - navy on the inside and lilac on the outside - I think they make my bum look HUGE (bought them half-price in a sale without trying them on!).

Thanks all, I'm a size 16 so not the smallest behind.

Yes I'm sure there are rules - where are trinny and susannah when you need them?!

I don't know if they will make it look bigger, they may even give the illusion of it being smaller, but either way they draw the eye to the bum area, so it will be noticed!

As a self confessed body fascist I would stay away from two tone unless you want to draw attention to your derriere. Patterns are also bad for bottoms. Stick to plain dark colours in a loose fitting style.

Trinny has spoken

I'm glad to say I can't see my bum! I suspect I might not ride if I could!
