How to Dress Skinny

T.K. Moyer
If you are starting to be a little scared about what you see in the mirror perhaps you need to spend some time rearranging your wardrobe. Learning how to dress skinny can be accomplished with just a few small tweaks to your wardrobe. If you want to hide a few of those pounds that have crept up on you, have no fear it can be done. Take these suggestions and have everyone asking "how much weight have you lost?" Here are my 5 ideas for how to dress skinny.

Don't Wear Baggy Clothing
When learning how to dress skinny it is important to remember that baggy clothing can actually add 15 pounds. Even though you are a little more comfortable in those over sized shirts and pants don't do it. In order to look slimmer you need to wear clothes that are the right size.

Don't Wear Clothing that is to Tight
While wearing baggy clothing can make you look heavier, wearing clothing that is too tight can accent parts of your body that you may not care to have highlighted. In order to look your best you need to wear clothes that are just the right size.

Wear Black
When learning how to dress skinny you need to go with the darker colors found in your ward robe. Darker colors tend to hide those unwanted pounds much better than lighter colored clothes. When looking for darker clothes make sure and look for smaller prints and patterns that aren't to busy. Clothing that is too busy to the eyes will make people look at you more and that is a big no no when trying to hide those pounds.

Wear Vertical Stripes
The worst thing a person can do when needing to dress skinny is wear horizontal stripes that accentuate a persons width. Wearing vertical stripes hides a persons width and accentuates their height. This trick tends to work better if you are a little taller, but if you tend to be on the short side the worst thing you can do to hide your weight is wear horizontal stripes. It is always to go with length over width when trying to figure out how to dress skinny.

Highlight the Positive
If you are trying to hide those 10 pounds that have been added to your rear end the worst thing you can do is wear a pair of tight fitting jeans. When wanting to draw attention away from a particular part of your body it is best to draw their attention elsewhere. A shirt that highlights your chest or shoulders will go a long way towards keeping people from looking at your rear end. Consequently if you have gained those pounds in the belly but your booty is still doing fine it is ok to draw people's attention to your posterior.

Hope these tips help you the next time your asking yourself how to dress skinny. Good Luck!
