Walk Tall
It’s the advice that our grandmothers gave us and its priceless- take a look around at all the stooped shoulders and collapsed-looking postures. It bunches you up, puts more pressure on your back and it makes you look dumpier than you really are, so walk tall with your head up and shoulders back to look skinnier in an instant.
Clothes that Fit
Just like Goldilocks’ selection process with her porridge: you don’t want clothes that are too big, or too small you want them “just right”! Baggy clothes look slovenly and add volume to your figure, tight clothes cling in all the wrong places and make you look bigger than you really are. Just say “No” to muffin tops and choose outfits that are comfortable and the correct size.
Fabrics
Dress slimmer with dark colours—black and all the darker shades are definitely more slimming than light colours. Another factor is pattern: busy, colourful patterns draw the eye more and if there’s one pattern you must avoid at all costs it’s the horizontal stripes! This creates an optical illusion that makes you look bigger. Your instant weight loss outfits should be composed of blocks of one colour, dark colour.
Accessorise
To prevent eyes from being drawn to problem areas- draw them out to other areas instead- jewellery and bright accessories keep the focus where you want it- with the exception of belts. Belts look great if you want to emphasise a skinny waist, but if you don’t wave one of those yet, then it’s probably best to wait until you do.
Go to Great Lengths
High heels are great for lengthening legs as are long boots. Longer line jackets can also help and steer clear of the double-breasted jacket- we don’t need any extra suggestions of width.
Fake It!
Bronzed arms and legs look slimmer than white ones. If you’re currently “pale and interesting” then you could lose a few pounds instantly by applying a bronzing product.
Accentuate the Positive
Bing sang it best: “You’ve got to accentuate the positive, Eliminate the negative”.
This is great advice for absolutely every body. We all have areas that we like better than other areas- well then, play to your strengths and emphasize the good parts and play down the rest.
