11 fashion tips on how to look slimmer

1. Buy clothes that fit well. Do not use anything that makes bulges or rolls stick out.

2. Don’t be fooled by the size: if you’re a size 16, don’t pretend you’re a 14. Own your size! On certain brands and styles, you may even be one size larger – forget the number and make sure the fit is correct.

3. Try on clothing while sitting. Most of the day at work is spent sitting; This is when all sorts of things happen that don’t normally stand up. Skirt hem is too high, rolls stick out side, shirts bulge.

4. Apply vertical colored dressing. Create the illusion of vertical length by dressing in a single color or shades from head to toe. A color will help to downplay problem areas by lengthening the silhouette. For example, the color of the outer vertical line: a solid color jacket left open, combined with pants of the same color or an inner vertical line: a top and bottom of the color matching a color jacket in contrast.

5. Be careful with light and glare – these colors will enlarge a particular area. If it is larger from the waist down, select the dark colors to be placed at the bottom, the lighter colors at the top.

6. Get Vertical. Making use of the vertical line and design in clothing will create the illusion of a slimmer person.

• You can visually lose 10 kg (22 lb) with each vertical line you use.

• The most effective vertical line is one that divides an area of ​​your body into 2 equal halves, for example, a crease in the center of a pair of pants, a row of buttons, a zipper, a seam.

• Select patterns and vertical patterns

• Flowy fabrics that skim curves instead of stretchy or heavy fabrics.

• To help elongate your neck, wear tops with an open neckline, such as V-necks.

7. Keep it high. Wear an eye-catching accessory, hairstyle, or neck detail. Wearing something high on the body draws the eye upwards, this ensures the illusion of height and slimness.

8. Wear the right underwear. Buy a body sculptor – it absorbs everything and makes you look slimmer. Measure your bra: a bra that fits you well can make you look slimmer.

9. Discover your personal style and show it off with confidence! The key to selecting a great outfit is knowing what your style is.

10. Wear heels.

• Wearing a heel of at least 1 ″ / 5 cm helps to lengthen your legs and make you look slimmer.

• Stay away from chunky soles and platforms if you have a heavy lower leg rather than going for a mid to thin sole which will create a more flattering and balanced effect.

• If you want your legs to look slimmer, buy a shoe with a longer toe. A square or round toe will make your leg appear shorter and thicker. A longer, rounder toe (it doesn’t have to be pointed) will make the leg appear slimmer.

11. Carry the correct size bag. A small bag will make your figure appear larger. For plus size figures, a larger structured or square bag will balance out the curves.

• Be careful with the length of the strap. Where you end your bag will accentuate that feature, ending with a bag on your hips will emphasize them. The safest bet is to accommodate your bag at your waist.

Just because there are more of you doesn’t mean you need to hide under boring, baggy clothes! Remember BIG in BIG = BIGGER.

I encourage you to have the confidence to show off your curvy figure with a new style and flair.
