Knowing a few style tips can help you look slimmer in a hurry. Mainly, it's a matter of knowing how to choose the right clothing. This includes wearing clothes that fit properly, as clothes that are too tight or too baggy make you look larger.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Dress in a monochromatic color scheme. Dressing in one color, regardless of what that color is, helps you look slimmer. Otherwise, the eye dissects the different colors and draws attention to various parts of your body.

  2. Step 2

    Wear clothes that fit. If you can see ripples, bulges or cellulite, your clothing is too tight. If you can't see any curves, or you can gather a fist full of your shirt on either side, your clothes are too loose. Both extremes make your weight appear greater than it is.

  3. Step 3

    Search out shirts and jackets that end above or below your widest part to draw the eye away from it. This is a tip every celebrity is well aware of and practices daily.

  4. Step 4

    Invest in Spanx, the product receiving raves from celebrities across the globe as the miracle weight loss secret. Spanx are comfortable, lightweight undergarments that smooth and compress the body, making you look slimmer and trimmer.

  5. Step 5

    Accessorize accordingly. Wear chunky jewelry to draw the eye to your face and away from your problem weight areas.

  6. Step 6

    Pair lacy camisoles with your jackets to bring the eye upward. If you want to add a splash of color to a monochromatic outfit, this is the way to do it.

  7. Step 7

    Wear straight leg pants and jeans. By eliminating the in-and-out line of boot cut or tapered pants, you make your legs look longer and trimmer, immediately giving the appearance of weight loss.
