12 Ways To Look Instantly Thinner This Season

Fashion Tips For Women - How To Look Thinner In Clothes ?

 

Here are 12 fashion tips on how dress to look thinner in clothes. By choosing clothes that make you look skinny, you can look slimmer, without dieting, and without going to the gym. Follow these simple styling tricks...

 

1. You should always stand up straight. If you improve your posture, not only do you decrease visibility of the rolls in your stomach, but you also gain confidence. Pair that with a winning smile and you're good to go.

Especially if you have a small bust, try sticking your bust out when straightening your back out. This should make your shirt look less baggy near your tummy, rather making it appear more airy because of your bust.

   

2. Wear proper fitting underwear. The look you're going for is seamless - no ill-fitting bras that leave back fat spilling over in bulging rolls, and try on a slip. Look for wardrobe pieces featuring extra firm tummy control (fashion brands Victoria's secret and Spanx are a favourite) that smooths bulges while lifting the bosom and behind.


3. Wear long, fitting shirts. These are flattering to everybody since they seem to stretch out your torso. They should fit to flatter your body type, but please, don't immediately dash to the nearest Abercrombie and Fitch. Their shirts are too snug if you're worried about looking thinner.


4. Choose the colors carefully. Avoid bright colors and patterns; they instantly make you look bigger than you are! Dark colors make your heavy sections look small. Are you top heavy? That means switching to dark colored tops.

Also, avoid horizontal stripes; these accentuate your girth! If you are bottom heavy, go for darker pants, skirts, or jeans to slim down your bottoms and legs. Finally, avoid "baggy" clothing, and wear stuff that fits you closely. Stella McCartney's two-toned dress was such a hit on the red carpet this season. Liv Tyler and Kate Winslet were both well aware that the silhouette-extending vertical panels and curved side seams made their waists look minuscle.


5. Match your shoes to your build. If you are short and heavy, a pair of understated platform clogs or boots can give you height, and also counterbalance your body size. If you are tall and heavy, a pair of dark colored flats or low heel pumps will make your feet look smaller without making you even taller. Avoid slender heels and sharp pointy toes; they will look small on you, and accentuate your size.

 

6. Wear your hair and makeup in a flattering way. People will be too distracted by your beautiful face to care about everything else.

 

7. Avoid the "I'm so fat" conversations. Most everybody has been involved in one of these and they only bring you down. You are most likely NOT fat. Most people don't care as much as you think they do because they are caught up in themselves.

Flaunt your body the way it is. If it helps, make a list of all the people who love you and all the things you love about yourself. You first must love yourself before you love others. Confidence is key.

8. Wear clothes that are the right size. If you're a size 20, don't try and squeeze into a size 16. It will make you look bigger if everything bulges out. But at the same time, don't wear clothes that swamp you. Really look at your body and wear clothes that fit properly.


9. Add some V-neckline tops to your wardrobe. The open, upside down triangle creates a high vocal point up and away from your midsection, visually balancing broad hips and thighs and gives the illusion of a longer, slimmer upper body. Don't wear striped shirts, they make you appear wider. Unless they are up and down (pin stripes) which makes you appear longer and leaner. Fashion Tips ? The more skin displayed between chin and chest (within reason !), the more elegant your proportions will seem overall.

 

10. Emphasize the smaller part of you and camouflage your problem areas. If your waist is relatively thinner than your hips, wear form-fitting shirts and skirts that flare out. If your middle is thick and your legs are normal sized, wear looser, tunic blouses with thin, straight-legged pants. DON'T wear loose tops with loose bottoms.

 

11. To emphasize your waist and make your womanly figure an A+ wear belts at your waist or bring clothing lines to your waist. (Have you pants go to your waist; shirt go to your waist; dress line at your waist)


12. Play up the good parts and counterbalance. Big hips? Wear something to elongate your legs and something "chunky" or large around your shoulders. Always look to emphasize your small waist (even if you're making it up)
