With a few effective fashion strategies, you can easily learn how to dress slimmer. You don’t have to be a fashion designer or hop on the latest fashion wagon to get in on some of the effective know-how that will have your clothes working for you.
Avoid sabotaging your shape-up efforts with the wrong clothing, color, and accessory choices. It’s easy to shed a few pounds by slipping into clothes that flatter and accentuate rather than hang and leave you wondering, does my hair look fat in this hat?
Look slimmer and longer
There are two simple ways to create the illusion of length and slimness. One is to wear body-lengthening clothes. Dress slimmer by wearing long fitted T-shirts instead of traditional baggy Ts that stop above the waste line.
You can also throw on a pretty cardigan that rests below your butt to create that lengthy look. Accessories with dangling necklaces or long scarves to continue the flow. Second, wear a top and bottom of the same color.
This style of continual color scheme does not interrupt the eye and gives the illusion of length and slimness. Dress slimmer by covering yourself head to toe in one color and watch as you create a long, thin stream.
Properly cut
To dress slimmer you will want to wear the right cut of jeans. There are very few of us who can successfully pull off wearing skinny jeans, which never seem to go out of style. If you’re a little thicker around the waist, invest in a pair of bootcut jeans. This particular cut is made with a slight flare at the bottom, which gives a long, lean appearance.
Show off your waist
Wearing a belt to accentuate your waist will go a long way toward helping you visually shedding pounds. Enhance your outfit with a three- to four-inch-wide belt of your favorite color. Slip on a pair of matching shoes, preferably platform to give the illusion of height, and you’ll easily remove 10 pounds from your frame.
All that fabric
This is the time to choose that perfect hourglass dress. Steer clear of horizontal stripes, baggy styles, and excessive material that will only make you look heavy. Aim for a flattering fitted dress that comes in toward the body and then flares out. A-line and empire-waist dresses will also help you to look slimmer.
Shapewear
Make use of the brilliant pieces of shapewear that are available. You can easily flatten a tummy and improve posture with the right piece. Choose a high-waisted biking short, for example, to add a little control to your thighs, stomach, and hips.
This could make the perfect companion to that new hour-glass dress you just bought. Almost any type of clothing in a dark color will also give the appearance of less weight. Think of long dark pants to look lean, and never underestimate the power of the little black dress.
