Wear the right size.
Choosing the right fitted clothing can go a long way to slimming your looks. If clothes are too tight, all the bulges will show through them If clothes are too big, they can make you look heavier than you actually are by adding the bulging effect.
Long skirts for tall women, below the knee for short.
If you are very tall, you can wear a longer skirt. This will elongate the look of your body. If you are shorter, a longer skirt will make you look shorter. A skirt that falls right below the knee helps you appear a bit taller. Ankle length skirts should be avoided if you are short and above the knee skirts should be avoided if you are tall.
Patterns fool the eye.
Optical illusion patterns can distract the eye from problem areas. Diagonal stripes and zig zags can also distract. However, avoid horizontal and vertical stripes as they can make you look fatter.
V-line neck and waist.
A V-neck outfit can help slimming your entire appearance. A V-line waist on a skirt can reduce the appearance of bulk at the waist.
Boot-cut pants
If you have larger hips and thighs do not wear the slim ankle or flare cut pant legs. The boot-cut pant leg is the best cut for slimming as it gives a more symmetrical appearance.
Avoid middle/waist bulk.
Avoid bulky scarves and belts around the waist if you have wide hips.
Wear heeled shoes.
The higher the heel the more slimming the effect.
Minimum jewelry, size appropriate.
Avoid bulky jewelry. Pick jewelry according to your size, without a lot of bulk especially around the neck.
