Want to look thinner than you are (Don't we all??)...Try these really simple, fail safe dressing tricks to drop a couple of sizes instantly
1. Wear monochromes top to toe..basically, top and bottom of the same color. Keep it neutral as much as possible but avoid lighter tones. Darker shades- Black, Chocolate or Navy are your best bets.
2. Wear tapered or straight fit trousers/jeans that end at your ankle or a few inches below. Opt for A-Line skirts that end right above your knees. Avoid midis, capris, pleated skirts or garments with too much embellishment
3. Avoid big prints & busy patterns, instead go for smaller prints in solid colors.
4. Vertical stripes gives a visual impact of appearing longer than you are...and thus slimmer. Needless to say, avoid horizontal stripes as it makes you appear wider than you are.
5. A deep V neckline for tops, dresses and gowns takes the gaze downwards and thus elongating and narrowing your torso
6. Clinch your waist with a slim belt while wearing a dress, it defines your waist
7. Wear tops and jackets that end right below your waist, avoid shorter tops and jackets as it visually cuts your body into halves.
8. Accessorize with long, beaded necklaces & drop down earrings. Avoid chokers that can give you a boxed look.
9. Keep your hair sleek & shoulder length and wear your ponytail high or do a top knot to make your face appear slimmer
10. Avoid wedges, ankle strap shoes or chunky footwear, instead wear stilettos or pencil heels in n**e.
