How to Look Slimmer

The key to looking slimmer is what you wear, and how you wear it. In this article you will learn how to look slimmer and feel better.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. Stand up straight and practice proper posture, it is healthy and it will help elongate your appearance and give you something to build from.

2. Take a look at your self in the mirror, discover parts of your body that you really love and ones that you aren't particularly fond of. Now use the parts you love to your advantage and accent them while disguising the ones you aren't fond of.

3. One step short of a corset is to wear proper underwear. Comfort is key, however what you wear underneath should keep everything in place, thus creating a slimmer outward appearance.

4. Find clothes that fit you, clothes that are too tight draw attention to fatty areas while clothes that are too baggy will cause an overall increase in the appearance of size. Don't try to fool your self into thinking a smaller size fits, do it right and work with what you've got.

5. The basic principle to looking slimmer is to draw the eye to one's upward. Colors are a great tool for directing the eyes. Solid colors used with multiple tones will help accent features of your body while keeping your look simple and elegant. When choosing multiple colors, keep the tones similar. An over exaggeration of color will only add weight to your figure. Choose colors which accent the color of your face and build an outfit that will draw the eye to the focal point.

6. When using patterns it is important to take into account that simplicity is better because busy patterns can distract the eye and add width to your figure. You may have heard vertical lines help, and they do. Pinstripes and creased pant legs add height to a figure. While patterns with darker background colors help keep things in proportion.

7. Accessorize to draw attention to and away from areas you choose. Large earrings can draw attention to ones face, as a brightly colored belt could draw ones attention to the mid section. A scarf can have the same affect. Choose what you want to accent and use bright colors or accessories to draw attention exactly where you want and away from where you don't want.

8. A new hair style can completely change one's appearance, using layers, highlights, height, curls, and other enhancing features can help create a slimmer look in your face. Take a look at a hairstyle magazine and find one that will work for you. When creating a slimmer look as you have learned by this article, every aspect must be taken into consideration.
