FASHION TIPS TO LOOK SLIMMER  

10

1. KEEP IT MONOCHROME

Whether you go for all black, all white or all bright red, creating one long column of color with your outfit is always a good way to flatter your shape and look slimmer at any age.

2. ATTENTION TO UNDERPINNINGS

A good bra makes a huge improvement in your appearance and posture, but the right panties, slip or shaping undergarments can also make a huge difference.

3. SHOWCASE  BEST FEATURES

Chances are your back, collarbone, shoulders and calves or ankles are still looking good. Wear fitted cropped pants, shirts that show off your assets and pieces that draw attention to the slimmest parts of your body.

4. CREATE LONG  LINES WITH YOUR ACCESSORIES

Longer necklaces, long scarves, and even longer cardigans or blazers can make you look lean. A pendant necklace is easy to wear over almost anything to create a long line. 

5. LOOK SLIMMER WITH VESTS

Long line vests or sleeveless dusters work well as layering pieces all year round and make you look slimmer.

6. WATCH  YOUR RISE

High waist bottoms visually elongate your body, especially your legs.

7. USE COLOR BLOCKING WISELY

Dresses, shirts or pants with side panels like this one will  help create an hourglass silhouette.  Color blocking can visually  trick the eye  into thinking your body is longer and narrower.

8. DON'T CUT YOURSELF OFF

Cross body bags or belt bags might be convenient,  but they can cut across the lines of your body in an unflattering way.  A hand bag, a tote, or even a backpack is a better choice.

9. KNOW YOUR DIAGONALS

There’s a reason that asymmetric silhouettes and styles like wrap dresses that create diagonal lines across the body are perpetually in  style. 

10. USE HIGHLIGHTERS WISELY

A poppin’ highlight looks  great on teenagers but it can be aging as you get older. A subtle highlight on the inner eye or upper cheekbone is a magnificent way to draw attention to your features.
