You may have never thought about it but what you wear can ultimately make you look heavier or thinner. The colors, cut and shape of our clothes can do a lot for the way we look. You don't have to be a size 2 to look fabulous.
One item of clothing that I would never do without is a body slimmer. I call it my industrial underwear! They are relatively affordable and well worth it. I prefer the one piece that stops at mid thigh. A body slimmer smooths everything out and gets rid of those rolls, which of course, we all want to hide. You can find a body slimmer at your local department store. The one I purchased is from Nancy Ganz.
A simple trick that can instantly make you look thinner is to stand up straight. Slouching can make you look heavier than you really are. Plus, it is good for you to stand up straight with shoulders back. It not only helps you look thinner but it makes you look confident as well.
If you have a problem tummy then choosing princess cut blouses will instantly hide your pooch. It creates a silhouette shape. Princess cuts will draw eyes to your face and away from your tummy.
Another slimming trick is choosing empire waist blouses and dresses. This is also good for a tummy pooch. You are your smallest just above your natural waistline. The empire waist stops there giving your body more shape.
Solid colors can literally take pounds off of you. It doesn't have to be black, blue or brown either. Solid colors add height to your stature and creates a slimmer you.
When it comes to jeans and pants wearing flat front pants will instantly slim you. You want to stay away from pleats and bulky pockets. Jeans that are neither high waist or low cut will also help in making you look slimmer. Jeans that sit right below the belly button are great for hiding any tummy pooch you may have.
A long slim skirt is also a great wardrobe accessory to have to make you look thinner. They add height and will also make you look slim.
It is also very important to buy clothes that fit you. I know it is hard to go up a size but you want to look good in what you wear. Wearing the right size can make all the difference in how you look. It can actually make you look thinner than wearing one size too small.
A pair of good fitting flat fronted black slacks will make you look 5 pounds lighter, maybe more. They are a must have for your wardrobe. They can be worn with just about anything and any color.
I personally avoid bell bottoms at all cost. There is a reason they went out of style even though they are trying to sneak back in. Bell bottoms only make you look shorter and heavier than you really are.
One last fashion tip. Wear heels! Heels will elongate your legs and make you look taller and slimmer. Heels are great to be worn with slacks, jeans and skirts.
By applying these fashion tricks and tips you can instantly look 10 pounds slimmer. Don't be surprised when you start getting compliments on the way you look. You may even be asked if you've lost weight! We all love that!
