Want to look thinner without having to go to the gym? Of course! There are many ways to look attractive instantly without having to go on a dangerous diet or drastic plastic surgery, provided you are willing to make a plan and follow some strategies. Start with Step 1 below to look thinner.
Step
Method 1 of 2: Choosing the Right Clothes
Step 1. Wear clothes that fit
You should always wear clothes that fit your body. Clothes that are too small or too big will make you look fatter than you really are. Clothing should not be tight as it will only create and accentuate fat folds. Clothing should also not be too loose, as oversized clothes that hide your body give the impression that you are overweight. It's a good idea to wear clothes that fit, clothes should hug the body lightly without putting pressure on it.
This also applies to underwear. You should wear pants and a bra that fits. For example, many women wear the wrong bra size. Panties should not bite your hips and bras should support your chest and stay in place without creating creases at the sides or causing your breasts to spill out
Step 2. Wear clothes that draw attention to the waist
A surefire way to instantly slimmer is to draw attention to your natural waist. This is the smallest part of the waist. Choose a fitted top that tapers off at the waist and also a style that includes a belt, pattern, texture or stitch that draws people's attention to your waist.
For example, a top that has pleats and pleated material that narrows at the waist will make you smaller
Step 3. Choose clothes that define your chest and hips
You can make your waist smaller by emphasizing your bust and hip measurements. Wear shirts, skirts, and dresses that expand at the hips (for men, don't tuck your shirt in if possible). You can also wear tops that make your chest look bigger. Women can wear tops with pleated chests or stacked necklines.
Step 4. Create your own clothing line
You can create many illusions in your size by designing the lines you want to emphasize. The stitching lines on skirts, jackets, shirts, and other types of clothing can change your look. Basically, a sharp line on the hips or chest and waist, and a cut line as close as possible to that part.
- For example, avoid clothes that tourists often wear, as most of them add volume and are poorly cut, such as capri pants, calf-length skirts, and baggy pants that can't make you look thinner.
- Boot-cut jeans are a good choice for creating the perfect line. Women can also wear A skirts that are knee-length or slightly above them.
Step 5. Find a compatible accessory
You should also choose carefully the accessories that will give the desired look. Certain accessories can distract people, creating the illusion that you are taller and thinner than you really are. For example, a long necklace will create a tall and slim look. Standout accessories like a large, brightly colored bracelet will draw attention to your slim waist, making your entire body smaller in comparison.
Earrings and headbands can also distract from the parts of your body that you don't like. This is a great move if you feel that your head looks smaller than the rest of your body
Step 6. Use colors and patterns to create the illusion of being thinner
You can also use colors and patterns to create a slimmer look. Of course, the standard advice is the most correct, wear black clothes. Black is your friend. Black and other dark colors reduce the visible shadows on your body. This color creates an optical illusion that makes you thinner. Pair it with bright accents and accessories on the waist, wrists, neck and legs. This will make you thinner. In addition there are also several patterns that you can choose from:
- Use vertical lines. Small vertical lines will create the visual illusion of making you thinner and taller (making the two sides of your body close together).
- Avoid big patterns (and actually other patterns), because instead of making you smaller, they can easily make you look bigger. Finding a pattern that doesn't make you look bigger is a bit tricky, so it's best not to wear a pattern at all.
Step 7. Avoid clothes that make you look bigger
You should avoid clothes that add volume in the wrong places. Clothing that doesn't fit well is an example, but there are also certain styles of clothing that make you bigger. For example, an empire top will make your waist bigger and for some women it may look like you are pregnant. A thick sweater is another example that can add size visually.
Step 8. Use body shaping clothes to get a smaller body shape
You can actually make your body look slimmer by wearing body shaping underwear. In everyday language it may be known by the name Spanx, which is a well-known brand. Covers a t-shirt, shorts, or bodysuit made of elastic fibers that hug your body in key locations. You can use it to solve this problem or to equalize different body parts. Although it is tight and sometimes uncomfortable, it is very helpful. You can get it at department stores as well as online stores like Amazon.
Body shaping clothing is also available for men, usually for the chest but also for the lower body
Method 2 of 2: Adjusting the Body
Step 1. Practice good posture
Standing with the correct posture will pull in your stomach and make you 5 kg thinner. Straighten your back and pull your shoulders back. Sometimes it can feel very uncomfortable when you're used to standing with bad posture, but visually it can make a huge difference.
Sleeping on your back at night can help keep your back straight during the day
Step 2. Wear high heels, both women and men
When you wear high heels, your posture changes naturally, turning your hips back and helping to keep your back and shoulders straight. High heels can also make your legs longer, making you look slimmer and proportionate. If you are a woman, wear high heels whenever you can to look thinner. For men, some fashion shoes usually have a little heel, and you can get the same benefits, although not as much as women.
Step 3. Lift your chin
In addition to standing straight, you should keep your head up. This will prevent fat from accumulating around your chin (and pulling it in instead), making you look thinner. Chin folds can even make skinny people look like they weigh more than they really are.
Step 4. Position your body
Follow the models and carefully position your arms and legs to create a slimmer look. For example, crossing your legs when sitting will emphasize the visual lines you create, making you look slimmer. Keeping your arms away from your body, such as placing them on your hips, draws the eye toward a slim waist and prevents a boxy shape that adds visual weight.
Step 5. Make adjustments to look better in the photo
When you want to take a photo, there are a few things you can do to prevent the camera from adding a few unnecessary pounds. Choosing a better angle, such as from above, will make you slimmer by cutting off the rest of your body. You can also adjust the lighting in the photo. Avoid photo settings that cast dark shadows around body protrusions. If you don't know how to adjust the exposure, you might be able to experiment with how to take photos from different locations, so then you can choose which photo is the best.
But don't take it from an angle that's too far overhead. This will make a very clear "selfie" impression and people will think you're trying too hard
Step 6. Avoid salty foods
You can also make your body actually thinner by avoiding salty foods. When you have a lot of salt in your body, your body tries to adjust it by retaining more water. This will make you look bloated and chubby, even if you're actually quite skinny. Of course this method takes time because it takes a few days for the body to return to normal.
Foods to avoid include cured meats, bacon, chips, soup stock, and most fast foods
Step 7. Avoid foods that cause bloating
There are some foods that form gas when absorbed by the body, making you bloated and looking bigger. Avoid these foods to make your body look slimmer.
Foods that cause bloating include beans, lentils, garlic, broccoli, cabbage, and others
Tips
- If you are wearing tight or fitted clothing, do not slouch when sitting. This will accentuate the belly crease or bulge.
- Don't compare yourself to other people. If you feel beautiful in the clothes you wear, wear them! Don't let other people say otherwise.
- Cut down on soda. Soda drinks contain excessive sugar and calories that make you bloated. You certainly don't want that, do you? Save those drinks for the party!
- You may still have to exercise. Try biking or walking to start getting in shape the right way. With the right mindset, exercise can be fun, especially when you're already starting to see results.
- Eating healthy and drinking lots of water can improve how you look and feel. Reading information about nutrition can give you an idea of what is and isn't good for you, and remember that healthy foods don't always taste bad. When you know what your body needs, you can easily make delicious but healthy meals.
- Do things that make you happy. Wear comfortable clothes. The better you feel, the more people will be attracted to you.
- You don't have to be skinny to look good, the only thing that matters is how it fits you and you feel comfortable wearing it. Remember that sizing labels are for informational purposes only, so buy clothes that fit your size.
- Include more fiber in your daily diet and add water-releasing foods like asparagus, cucumber, and watermelon. All of these foods help get rid of the "water weight" to reduce bloating and puffiness fast!
Warning
- Stop hanging out with or doing things with people that make you feel inferior. The model in the magazine was edited. Don't worry about ways you can look like them.
- Don't overdo it just to lose weight. You can get injured and hurt yourself. It will take some time for you to see results, so don't push yourself.
- Diet carefully, do not overdo it. Vow to eat more nutrition. Eat the right portions, and yes, you can eat chocolate, but only a little.
- If you want to exercise, see a healthcare professional before you start any exercise program. Intense exercise is not suitable for people with a high body mass index because it puts extra stress on the heart. Your doctor can suggest what exercise program is right for you.
