How to Dress Slimmer
Perhaps you've seen someone who seemed sizes smaller only days ago. That is probably because of the way she dressed. If you are noticing the contrast, she hasn't yet discovered the joy of dressing to look slim consistently. You don't have to starve yourself to look great in clothes. An outfit can trim 10 to 20 pounds off your look, and that is worth gold for some! By choosing a constant stream of such outfits, you can have that look everyday, while indulging in whatever foods you most enjoy.

1
Opt for vertical stripes over horizontal ones. Horizontal stripes elongate your body in the wrong way, but vertical stripes make you appear both slimmer and taller. Keep this in mind when choose that summer top.
-
2
Wear long sleeves if you have chunky arms. Long sleeves help attribute the extra "stuff" to material.

3
Select dark clothes. However, don't make a constant habit of this unless going goth is also on the agenda. Black is a universally slimming color, and its sister colors can have the same effect. Keep it dark.

4
Wear short skirts if you are short in height. Even if you are overweight, short skirts are more slimming on a short body. Long skirts on your short body make you look chunkier and out of proportion.

5
Dress in low rise jeans if you have big hips. Focusing the attention on the low waist has a slimming effect. Eyes will go to other places than to extra jelly on hips and thighs.
-
6
Choose solid colors over loud patterns. Loud patterns tend to be a staple at cheap marts, and these patterns can make you appear bigger than you are.
-
7
Pick form fitting clothes. You may think that baggy clothes hide excess fat baggage, but that is not the case. Clothes that fit your body well almost always have a slimming effect by naturally having less material to bulk up your look.
