Wear a low-cut shirt. Shirts that are low cut, like a v-neck t-shirt, de-emphasize the neck area. Instead of drawing attention to the double chin, it draws attention elsewhere. High-necked shirts make the double chin more noticeable because they draw the eye to the neck area.

Cut hair into a short style. A short hairstyle draws attention away from the neck and makes the neck appear longer. Cut hair so that it is above the chin. There are a variety of short hairstyles for both men and women that can minimize the appearance of a double chin.

Lose weight. While it is true that age and genetics play a role in the double chin, losing weight and getting regular exercise will go a long way to eliminate and minimize a double chin. Even a few minutes of exercise a day will result in a healthier weight. Neck exercises, such as rotating the neck or tilting the neck back and opening the mouth, focus directly on the problem and minimize it over time.

Stand and sit with good posture. Keeping good posture and the face upward will make the double chin less noticeable while improving the back, neck, and overall body. Keep the back straight, the shoulders back, and the head held high to improve posture and draw attention away from the neck and chin.

5
Avoid wearing chokers, which are ideal for long, thin necks. When a double chin is present, the choker draws attention to it in a manner similar to that of turtleneck shirts. Stick to long necklaces that draw attention away from the neck instead.
