A Slimmer Look For You

A huge problem within our society today revolves around the ideal body perfection so many us try to achieve. Both men and women struggle everyday to attain this model size 2 look alike in their own mirrors they forget to treat their body right. There is nothing wrong with wanting to look slimmer, in fact, that sort of approach boosts up ones’ confidence; nevertheless, if you want to look better don’t alternate your body, but better yet, alternate your clothing. The way you dress can make a huge difference.

Here are a few tips on the easiest and most effective ways to dress slimmer.

1. Define your waist.
If the mid part of your body is the problem try your best to define it as much as possible. Don’t ever, and I mean never, lean towards oversize tops - they WILL give the illusion that you are bigger than what you really are. If you want more variety than belted blouses or empire waists, look for structured button-up shirts and form fitting dresses, the stylists advises. remember, its not always about following the trends or hiding you flaws. It is about recognizing your flaws and complementing.

2. Add height.
One trick I learned when I was young to look slimmer is height. Invest in heels. They create a good posture and go along way in helping you look better. In fact, the heels have the power to change the posture and shape of your body. A problem may be that your to use to heels - that’s fine - start with small wedges and progress as time goes by. Practise makes perfect.

3. Avoid low waistlines.
Try to shop for higher rise and straight cut pants to prevent your hips from appearing too wide. Again, if your waist is the problem, always aim for something that has a higher waist line, it wont create any bulges and it definitely helps the image of the butt. Ohh... one more.. avoid skinny jeans - they tend to emphasize the difference in size between the top and bottom part of your leg. You want to buy higher-rise jean in order to keep everything in!

4. Lengthen your neck.
May sound weird a bit but its true. Lengthen your neck. Stay away from higher neck lines and lean towards styles that create a more streamlined appearance. Try to shop for V-necks, they tend to be the most flattering necklines. Now some problems may arise from the size cleavage you may have, if so search for a camisole underneath the v-neck in order to prevent your bust from overwhelming your figure.

5. Keep Skirts knee- length.
If you are sitting there wondering if it is too short... it probably is. Actually - let me rephrase that - if you think its too short or too long you are probably right on both opinions. Very long or very short don’t work on most body types, so always purchase a skirt at your knee-length. They are not only more flattering but definitely more professional.

6. Add Shapewear.
Its funny but very true - what matters the most is under rather than on top. Always work from the inside out and concentrate most of your focus on what you plan to wear under your clothes. The biggest benefit of shapewear is that it holds everything in and gives you a streamlines shape. At this point clothes will fit you much better because you have reduces some of the unwanted extras. If you focus on wearing bras and undergarments that work to flatten your body shape you are guaranteed tops and bottoms to fit perfectly and create a smoother and more attractive figure.

I really hope these tips help - Don’t just read them - act on them!
