16. Adjust the size of your clothes
You can create the illusion of looking slimmer by adjusting the clothing to your size. The length of your skirts, jackets, shirts and other clothing can change your appearance. You should generally adopt clean cuts around your hips or chest and waist and avoid too loose a fit in these areas as much as possible.
- You will avoid, for example, the cliché of lounge wear, since most of them are poorly cut and have a bulky effect: corsairs, full skirts that reach the calves and shorts that are too wide and too long, which will not do you any favors.
- Straight pants are the best choice to create a harmonious body shape. Women can also wear flared skirts that reach the knee or slightly above.
15. Don’t wear clothes that make you look overweight
You should avoid clothes that add volume in the wrong place. Clothes that don’t fit will certainly do so, but some clothing styles may also make you look thicker. Float, pleated tops, for example, will give you a larger waist and often make you look pregnant. Thick sweaters are another example of clothing that is fattening and does not enhance the body shape.
14. Colored or monochromatic column dressing
Playing with colors is also a simple trick to slim down your BODY. Use dark colors (such as black, navy blue, dark gray or brown) on the areas of the body you want to slim down: they erase the reliefs and therefore make you look slimmer. And for an even more effective result, opt for a brightly colored top. Thanks to the contrast between the dark colors of the bottom and those, punchy, of the top, you will attract the eye on the upper body. And vice versa if it’s your upper body that you want to minimize.
