Tips to Look Thinner

- Choose darker solid colors such as black, navy blue and gray. Black rules!
- Dress monochromatic, all in one color, top to bottom, no patterns.
- If you want to wear patterns, go for smaller ones that overlap.
- Avoid horizontal stripes. Look for thin vertical and and diagonal lines for a fluid look.
- Select accessories to draw attention from trouble spots.
- Wear clothes that fit. Not too baggy but not tight and clingy.
- Avoid bulky sweaters and sweatshirts.
- Always try on clothes. Different designers have different size charts.
- Avoid pleats. Flat front pants and skirts are instant slimmers.
- Low-rise pants that hit just below your navel will lengthen your torso.
- For longer looking legs, skirts should fall right above the knee.
- Forego the frills. Extra ruffles and material only add bulk.
- If you have a large bust, invest in a good support bra.
- Avoid shiny fabrics such as velour and satin.
- High heels add height and shapes your legs. That's why you always see runway models in heels.
- Dark panty hose will make large legs appear thinner.
- Stay away from patterned leggings.
- Wear undergarment foundations such as control top pantyhose and shapers.
- If you prefer wearing a sleeveless dress, cover your upper arms with a sheer, elegant shawl.
- Choose open collar shirts and scoop necklines.
- Avoid small handbags. Stick with a medium-sized bag in proportion to your body.
- A dress with matching coat can hide bulges.
- Match your belt and shoes to your skirt or pants to make your legs appear longer.
- Don't tuck your shirt in. Buy those that fall just below your waist, but aren't too long.
- V-neck shirts will make your torso appear longer.
- You can still wear bright colors, just not on your problem areas.
- Frilly clothes are a no-no and just add to your overall size.
- Avoid too-tight pants that cling to your hips and thighs. Instead, try trousers with comfortable legs and wide cuffs.
- For longer, thinner-looking legs, opt for an asymmetrical, tiered skirt.
- If you're a petite woman, wear the highest heel you're comfortable with to add some height.
- A thick waistband helps flatten the tummy
