DRESSING SLIMMER

The most common misconception people have about dressing slimmer is they have to wear black. While black does provide an overall sleek appearance, it's not the only path to a svelter look.

Know that you are a normal person & everyone's body is different. Once you start looking at yourself through a less critical lens, fashion can be a lot of fun. Here  are  few  tips:

Wearing a monochromatic colour scheme is elegant & flattering to all body types. Even wearing an all-white suit, for example, will look good on someone trying to dress slimmer because it doesn't chop up the body. The last thing you want to do is cut up your look with a different colour, which could make even a slim person look stocky.

Wearing clothes that are too baggy can easily add the illusion of five to 10 pounds to your frame & make it look as though you are hiding behind something.On the other hand, wearing clothes that fit properly (not too baggy or too tight) radiates confidence. 

Accessories are a smart trick for looking slimmer. Adding bangles or a nice pair of earrings is a great way to pull together an outfit & add a tasteful splash of colour to a monochromatic look. Accessories like a pendant or brooch draw the eye up & toward your beautiful face.

When it comes to choosing the right pair of pants, your  best bet is to stick with a lower waistline with a flat front & no pleats. A slightly lower waistline helps to elongate your look. Pants should be on the longer side so there is a nice break at the cuff.

Belts can also be a great tool when trying to dress slimmer. Wearing a belt with a nice buckle lower on your hips will draw the eye to the belt & elongate your overall look, especially if the belt blends with your clothing colour. Belts can also help tie a look together & are a very versatile accessory.

Since skinny pants are still on the fashion radar, there are ways to wear them & look streamlined. If you are going to wear skinny pants, pair them with a voluminous top or long blazer. The same principle applies when wearing a wide-legged trouser. Pair them with a fitted shirt or jacket. The whole outfit shouldn't be completely voluminous or stick straight. But pairing one with the other makes it simple to dress both slim & stylish. If you are going to go with a skinny jean or pant, you can achieve a sleeker look with stylish boots worn over the pants.

Since classic browns, beige's & charcoal greys look good on everyone, bright splashes of colour as underpinnings to an outfit is suggested. Wear a rich magenta or deep blue camisole under a dark grey suit jacket to spice up your look without going over the top.

Boots are flattering on everyone & everyone can look sleek in a boot. If you are wearing a pair of jeans, just adding boots & a blazer will complete your outfit & also be slimming. Heels, too, are slimming footwear.
