How To Dress Slim – Top 7 Tips
1. The Same Colour
One great tip on how to dress slim is to wear the same colour from top to toe. This creates the illusion of a slimmer and sometimes taller figure.
Wearing the same colour from head to toe seems to stretch your body and there’s no break in the colour so it’s just one long vertical line which makes you look slim.
Looking longer means it also knocks of inches width ways which gives you a slimmer shape.
Maxi dresses are great for making you look longer and leaner than you are.
2. Dark Neutral Colours
Bright or light clothing gives the illusion of extra volume even for the skinny minnies but dark neutral colours make you appear more trim.
3. Vertical designs
Another way to create a slimmer you is to wear clothing that emphasizes vertical lines. Our eyes naturally follow the movement of lines so if they notice vertical lines they’ll move vertically.
When you apply this to the figure, creating strong vertical lines with your clothing creates the impression of more height, less breadth. You can create vertical line in a variety of ways such as rows of buttons, a vertical design or decorative piping.
4. Looking In Proportion
Taking your body shape in to consideration, if you balance your problem areas with the rest of your body you will instantly look slimmer.
5. Well Fitting Clothes … Even If It Means Going Up Or Down A Size!
If you are going to take heed of any of these slimming strategies then well fitting clothes is one of the most important.
Nothing will pile on the pounds faster than wearing clothes that are too big or too small.
Some of us may be guilty of squeezing into a size smaller than we are just so that we can say it’s the smaller size. Stretched clothing draws attention to the fact it’s too small and makes you look fuller than if you wore the bigger size!
On the other hand if you buy clothes that are too big to hide your probably areas you could end up looking wider than you actually are!
6. Fabric and Pattern
Big bold patterns can sometimes add volume so buy with caution. It’s best to opt for small patterns that won’t add width.
Stay clear of clingy fabrics as they’ll stick to all the wrong places. Fabrics that skim your problem areas without being bulky are your best bet.
7. Accessories
Accessories can focus attention to any area you wish so if you have a larger bottom half for example, wearing a bold piece of jewellery around your neck will keep the attention up top on your slimmer area.
