ToggleDON’T: Wear ill-fitted tops
Blouses that don’t hug your body right tend to hang down around your waist making you look bigger or wider in the midsection.
It may be loose and breathable but in terms of style, it doesn’t work well. Click next to see how easily Heather fixes this look!
DO: Add a belt to create hourglass figure
Wearing a stretchy belt around your blouse will cinch in the loose ends and create an hourglass silhouette.
It’s so much more flattering than an oversized shirt.
DON’T: Wear bulky sweaters
If hiding problem areas to look a little slimmer is the goal, then wearing bulky sweaters is a big no.
These make you look chunkier and wider. Due to their thickness they aren’t able to help create an hourglass shape.
DO: Wear a fitted cardigan
Notice how the cardigan flows around the body more naturally? It’s not too tight but does compliment her in a way that makes her look slimmer.
This is a wonderful look to go for. Not to mention it looks way more stylish.
This look is nice and clean, but not exactly slimming and doesn’t create any interest or allow for a slimming and elongated look. The colors are too plain without any accessories or adding any shape.
DO: Wear cardigan to create hourglass illusion
Going back to that long, dark cardigan that creates a longer illusion of you from head to toe. What this amazing hack does is give you an hourglass figure.
Just look at how it brings out her lovely curves instead of emphasizing her problem areas.
DON’T: Use a oversized purse
Aside from the bulky, heavy hassle of lugging an oversized purse around, this big purse just add unnecessary bulk and doesn’t lend to a slimming look.
DO: Use a small crossover purse
You can carry everything you need in a smaller purse. It’s lighter, more practical, and will definitely make you look slimmer.
Why drive a full sized pick-up truck in tight streets when you can get around easier in a little hatchback?
DON’T: Stuff pockets of hoodies
This one’s pretty obvious. Hoodies don’t exactly hug the body right in the first place, so stuffing those pockets just make you look way bulkier and heavier than you really are.
DO: Look slimmer with nothing in pockets
So keep those pockets free to look slimmer. Hoodies are great pieces to have, and they come in so many colors to suit your mood.
Look lean, light, and cute by not stuffing those pockets.
DON’T: Wear a low waist jean
What happens with a low waist jean is you’ll be forced to tuck in that top. And that just brings out that tummy instead of hiding it.
DO: Wear a high waist jean
Now with a high waist, you can wear your top over the waistband. Stretchy ones are super comfortable too. That loose, natural flow of your short should help make you look leaner.
DO: Use contouring makeup to create a slimming effect
Makeup is modern day magic. What that brush can do to transform your face is nothing short of art.
You can remove a jawline or create one that follows your cheekbones. Contouring is your friend here.
DO: Create a long and lean silouette
To create a long and lean silhouette, go for darker colors underneath. The long vest pops out from shoulders to knees drawing eyes from top to bottom.
Go for high heels to elevate your legs and make you look slimmer and taller. These simple tips really work.
DON’T: Wear dark shoes with an ankle strap
These won’t do you any favors since the strap cuts off your leg by the ankle. The darker color also makes you look shorter since it stands out and draws attention to that cut from the strap.
DO: Wear a shoe close to your skin tone
Shoes without ankle straps work better. The skin tone smoothens out the look without grabbing too much attention. So much better than those ankle straps in black.
DON’T: Wear pants that are too long
Pants touching the ground make you look shorter owing to the fact that it just looks like you’re trying on a size too big. Instead of elongating your look it works the opposite to shorten it.
DO: Wear a shorter jacket with a hat
Proper fitting pants paired with a nice jacket and hat is so big city chic. That shorter jacket helps you look taller and leaner. That hat is cute, and they are in style right now.
DON’T: Wear too short of pants
Here’s the opposite of too-long pants. They tend to make a woman look shorter and bulkier than she actually is.
DO: Wear longer pant with V-neck
Always go for proper fitting pants. The right length makes you look so much better. That V-neck angles downward, creating another illusion that helps others look at you from head to toe and not side to side.
