It’s all in how you dress! Proportion is the key to appearing slimmer. Full round shapes worn both on the top and bottom pack on the pounds and make you look larger. Remember to accentuate the smallest body part by pairing your generously cut pieces with a more tailored mate. For instance, balance a wide leg pant with a fitted shirt and a miniskirt with a longer top.
- Lose 5 pounds by matching your pants or skirt, stockings, and shoes. You’ll drop 10 pounds if you choose black.
- The right jacket is essential to creating a polished, professional style. Tapered jackets or a hip length one with tailored lines give the illusion of a smaller waist. On the other hand, baggy jackets and those that look pulled in front aren’t flattering and make you look larger.
- Select flattering pants and shapely skirts. Flat front pants with a 1-2 inch waistband instantly minimize a curvy figure by creating an unbroken line across the stomach making you look taller and slimmer. Pants with a slightly flared leg make the hips look smaller. A little stretch to the fabric helps maintain that sharp, clean shape. A tailored pencil skirt that fits through the hips gives a sleek look to all body types.
- Cinch your waist with the right belt. Wide belts actually make you look smaller.
- Notice where you’re your top meets your bottom. Anything that draws a line at the waist is unflattering and adds pounds. When your top and bottom meet just below the waist you’ll look slimmer, especially if both pieces are the same color.
- Wear pumps that match your skin tone. These extend your leg line making you look taller in knee length dresses. This shoe idea only works with bare legs!
