10 Style Hacks To Make You Look Slimmer In Your Clothes
10 Style Hacks To Make You Look Slimmer In Your Clothes. Sometimes the diet and the workouts don’t yield satisfactory results. Or you just don’t have the zeal and time for that. There are other ways though that can help you look slimmer with less effort. One of them is being creative with your clothes. Find out how form the tips below.
1. Wear Black
Unlike other colors, black does not reflect light, so it does not create shadows around bulges or curves of your body. Because of this, black does a great job of hiding imperfections while making you look chic and well put together. When you put together a head-to-toe black look, you can achieve an ultimate slimmed-down and sexy look because your clothes create one vertical line.
2. Color Block
Color blocking pulls from a similar theory as the vertical stripe trick. Just as humans eyes naturally follow lines, they are also attracted to blocks of color. With strategically placed block of color you can actually sculpt a more favorable silhouette. This trick works best on dresses with blocks of contrasting color on the side, but can also work on blouses and tops.
3. Wear Prints and Patterns
Avoid anything with horizontal prints, be it big or small. Vertical print dresses with deep necks are your go-to if you want to look slimmer and taller. And, patterns like A-line cut or a pencil skirt can seal the deal for you.
4. Wear High-Waist Jeans
High-waist jeans should be on your hit list because they tuck in most of the flab and do a great job of making you look slender, tall, and slim. The ones that are black, stretchable, and stop near your ankle are what you need. Fetch those straight-cut high-rise jeans!
5. Mind Your Proportions
Full, round shapes on top and bottom will make you look large from all angles. Always accentuate your slimmest areas by pairing loosely cut pieces with more fitting counterparts. Balance wide-legged pants with a fitted shirt, pair a miniskirt with a flowing top, short shorts with a loose long sleeve, etc.
6. Invest In A Body Compressors/Shapewear
If you want to looks slimmer effortlessly, then swear by shapewear. It’s a blessing in disguise. It tames fat around the midriff, hip, and thigh regions effectively. And it also acts as a catalyst to make you look slimmer. Invest in it, and you will be thankful.
7. Layer Up
Let me just break this myth once and for all. People think that adding more layers means adding extra pounds, but that’s really not true. Adding layers gives your body definition. Plus, it does not give people a direct view of your body. If anything, it is a blessing!
8. Accessorize
Wear statement jewelry and beef up your look with details like a necklace, earrings, scarf, bandana, watch, etc. It steers the attention away from anything unflattering. If you are wearing shapewear, also consider belts that are dark and massive or svelte and that cinch at the waist
9. Choose Undergarments Wisely
Do not wear a sloppy bra and thongs that add more attention to your muffin tops. Wear a bra that gives you full coverage, without bulges; your underwear should preferably be stretchable and high rise to camouflage the flab. Either way, good undergarments are helpful in more ways than one and are always a great investment.
10. Maintain A Good posture
Do not underestimate the power of a good posture. Everything will fall flat if you do not have the right posture. It makes a lot of difference to your silhouette, so pay attention to it.
