Many people feel self-conscious about their weight, and many are even uncomfortable with how heavy they think they look. However, with a few simple fashion tricks, your body can look a little slimmer.
Step
Part 1 of 4: Forming a Good Foundation with Underwear
Step 1. Wear well-fitting underwear
This is especially important when choosing a bra. The right-sized bra can help shape your body's silhouette and support your chest well. Wearing a bra of the wrong size can cause the cut lines to stick to the skin and cause the breasts to protrude from the top of the bra. Consider having your bra measured professionally at the women's section of the shopping mall.
Wearing undergarments that are too small can cause bulges and lines to show through your pants and other clothing. Consider buying lineless underwear that is the right size
Step 2. Avoid undergarments that do not provide support
While the sheer bikini bottoms and pants prevent the panty line from showing, the bikini covers very little and provides neither lift nor support. Try boy shorts, briefs, and other styles that will help shrink your butt, tummy and thighs. This cut can help create a firmer, smoother look.
Step 3. Try on body slimming underwear
If you want additional help creating a toned figure and keeping your excess weight in check, try body shaping underwear. These underwear can cover the stomach, thighs, chest, arms, and buttocks and help prevent these areas from shaking too much.
You may find this option a bit overwhelming for everyday wear, but it really helps on special occasions
Step 4. Consider wearing nylon stockings with a control top
Control top stockings do a great job of keeping the midsection flat, especially when wearing dresses and skirts. The control top stockings have a high, thick lining on the top of the hem designed to stretch the tummy and keep things in place. This will create a smoother look that will make your dress or skirt look more supportive.
Part 2 of 4: Blending Outfits That Support Your Appearance
Step 1. Buy clothes in the right size
Clothes that are too small and tight will show every excess part of your body. On the other hand, clothes that are too big and loose will make you look wider and heavier than you really are. Only clothes that fit your body well will enhance your appearance. That means you need to try on clothes in the store. Just because the label says a certain clothing size doesn't necessarily mean it will fit you in the same way as your other garments of the same size.
If to have clothes that fit well, you need clothes that are specially sewn, go for it
Step 2. Choose a style that fits better than a clingy or loose fit
In addition to wearing clothes that really fit your body, wear a style of clothing that best supports your body. That means avoiding clothes that are too tight and cling to the body. Tight material will stick to the body and show every fold of the body that you have. When you're trying to look slimmer, you should try to take the attention away from your excess skin, not show it.
The same goes for the opposite: Clothes that are too baggy will make you look shabby and bigger than you really are-which won't make you look good. But look for clothes that cover your frame rather than hanging on your body. You need clothes that fit but are loose enough so that it feels comfortable to follow the contours of your body without overcrowding you
Step 3. Introduce a little black into your wardrobe
Black has a slimming effect on your body and can especially look great with trousers, skirts, and dresses. All black can be seen to complement the appearance, but there is a subtle difference between looking stylish and looking gloomy. If you decide to go all black, include a touch of other color in a section (blouses, shoes, lips, bags, belts, etc.).
Step 4. Add dark wash denim and other rich colors to your style
Usually, dark colors provide a slimming effect as well as the effect produced by wearing black. A great way to bring color and attention to your outfit is to include a variety of rich colors, from dark plum to dark olive and navy blue to cocoa chocolate.
Use dark colors strategically to slim down problematic areas, and apply bright colors to highlight areas that are more supportive of appearance
Step 5. Consider wearing a blazer
Blazers are an easy way to cover unsupported arms, but the vertical lines on the lapels create a nice elongation of your body. An open blazer paired with a V-neck t-shirt and dark jeans is an easy outfit to wear when going out.
Step 6. Try incorporating bold colors and patterns
As mentioned earlier, bold colors can accentuate good body parts and dark colors can cover problematic areas of the body. Consider adding bold colors and printed patterns to your outfit to mix things up. Make sure you choose a small print pattern-about the size of your fist.
- Bold patterns can distract the eye and disguise your outline so the observer will pay attention to your clothes and not your size.
- Opt for patterns in bright, deep colors, as soft colored patterns can actually draw more attention to your imperfections and make your body look bigger.
Step 7. Try a monochrome color scheme
The large block pattern is solid in color and will draw the eye from top to bottom rather than from left to right. As a result, the eyes capture more height than width, making you look slimmer and taller. Try wearing a solid color dress, an outfit with a top and bottom, or even a dress with a colored block pattern.
A dress with a colored block pattern can produce a supportive look like that produced with a one-color dress, only a dress with a colored block pattern has various colored panels that can produce and highlight a figure that supports the appearance
Step 8. Wear a vertical neckline
Buy lots of V-neck T-shirts, sweaters, cardigans, and shirts with vertical necklines to draw the eye up and down, elongating and narrowing your chest. Avoid horizontal necklines, such as crew necks and boat necks, as these styles can make your shoulders and bust look wider.
Step 9. Choose vertical details and avoid horizontal details
Imagine a pattern of stripes, pleats, and vertical zippers, and avoid horizontal stripes or lined embellishments. Vertical details invite the eye to look from above and below rather than from left to right, which helps to create the illusion of slimness.
Step 10. Balance your legs with flared pants
Skinny jeans and other trousers with tapered legs draw attention to the hips and upper legs, which can make your top look heavy. Instead, look for pants that are straight, boot-cut, or other pants that widen. This style will draw the eye down and away, creating an overall slimmer look.
Step 11. Look for knee-length A-line skirts and dresses
The A-line skirt fits snugly at the hips and upper thighs, but extends towards the knees for a balanced look, blending in with your legs. Knee-length skirts are the most universally styled look, but many calf-length skirt styles are also great, depending on your height.
Step 12. Avoid the problematic part
For example, if you have extra weight on your belly, look for a peplum top and a flared dress that can be teamed with a high-hip A-line skirt. In addition, t-shirts and dresses that wrap around the body can help tone your hips and cover up any prominent areas. Choose clothes that cover your problem areas more carefully without adding too much bulge.
Step 13. Avoid placing details on the problem areas
If you have excess weight on your thighs, look for bottoms with few pockets and no embellishments on the hips. Details will attract attention, and any part of your body that is covered with visual details will be more visible.
Step 14. Highlight the positive features of your body
If you have strong legs and feel proud of your feet, highlight them by elevating the hem line of your skirt by a few inches. If you have a great waist, look for a tight, high waistline and a belt that really draws attention to that area. By drawing attention to the slimmest part of your body, you will create the illusion of a slim figure and overall confidence.
Part 3 of 4: Adding Accessories with Shoes
Step 1. Try high heels or platform shoes
High heels will make your legs look long and slender, and legs that look slimmer will help create an overall slimmer look. If you have wide feet, strappy sandals will only accentuate the weight of your feet. Your high heels don't need to be stilettos, but thinner shoes with heels 5 cm or more can help lengthen the look of your feet. Try pointed toe shoes with a lower vamp (the part that covers your toes) and avoid square shoes.
Step 2. Avoid shoes with ankle straps
The ankle strap places a horizontal line on the top of your foot. Legs that appear shorter will reduce the overall illusion of being slim.
Step 3. Wear shoes that match the color of your feet
Shoes that match the skin tone of your feet will give the illusion of longer legs. Black boots or pumps with solid black tights are a great look for the cooler months. For the hotter months, try shoes and pumps in leather tones and wear them to reveal the level of your legs.
Part 4 of 4: Styling with Additional Techniques for Slimming
Step 1. Use makeup to draw attention to your face
A touch of eye shadow or a flash of lipstick will keep the focus on your face and not your body. Be sure to keep your eyebrows arched and well-formed and make sure to cover the under-eye circles that can pop up making your face look down.
But don't wear too much makeup. Just add a little color to one facial feature at a time-usually your eyes or lips-and let the rest of the makeup look natural
Step 2. Style your hair
Ask your stylist about styles that can make your neck or face look longer. In general, a wide bob can widen your face too much, but many long layered styles will direct the eye's attention up and down rather than the left and right.
Consider pulling your hair away from your face. You can style the top of your head a little to give it a bit of volume, while tying your hair into a smooth ponytail
Step 3. Accessorize with jewelry
Imagine a bright and stylish long necklace. Only use jewelry and other accessories that can create a vertical look, and avoid horizontal accessories such as chokers that can make your neck or other body features look thicker.
Step 4. Try the belt
While the belt creates a horizontal line along your body, a stylish belt around your natural waist can accentuate the appearance of a small waist and create a silhouette that supports a slimmer look. Use only a small belt and not a wide belt. This will help your waist look tight, rather than tied.
For example, consider wearing a light leopard print belt with black clothes
Tips
- Practice your posture. Stand with your stomach flat and drawn in, and keep your shoulders straight. Good posture will keep you looking slim and tall, but slouching will make you look fatter and shabby.
- Wear darker colors like navy and black to cover larger areas. Avoid softer colors like soft blues and beiges as these will accentuate your size.
- Do what you can to feel comfortable with your weight. Take control with diet and exercise, but avoid unhealthy fad diets or other obsessive behaviors that can lead to eating disorders. A little bit of moderate exercise can help you slim down, relieve stress, and feel confident.
- Determine your body shape, this will provide many benefits. There are many websites dedicated to helping you buy clothes that suit your body shape.
- If you have a pear-shaped body, you may find it helpful to wear a flowing top and tight bottoms to give the illusion of a well-proportioned body. But you should always choose to play with colors and designs rather than clothing sizes.
- Wearing clothes that are too loose doesn't always look attractive. Try wearing well-fitting bottoms like a pair of well-fitting jeggings or a pair of jeans that fit your size, but make sure that the pants you choose are above your groin when worn for a slimmer look. Pair it with a horizontally striped t-shirt or a top with a fitted bust and a flowing bottom. Both should have long sleeves or half-length sleeves, to cover imperfections like stretch marks. The t-shirt you choose should not be too tight on your back if your back is not too flat, but it should be close to your stomach and form your natural curve.
- Wear a belt that is not too tight.
- Maybe a peplum top with skinny jeans or a boot cut will help to embellish your figure.
