How to Dress to Minimize Large Thighs

Generous thighs are a problem spot for the majority of women. Learn which clothing combinations can help you minimize their appearance.

Things You'll Need

• A-line Skirts
• Long Skirts
• Sarongs
• Women's Causal Pants
• dresses and skirts

Instructions

1. Consider body-slimming underwear that reduces the appearance of large thighs.

2. Look for wide-leg pants that create a column of the leg, or try a loose-fitting flare pant. Avoid tapered legs or any pant that reveals the size difference between the lower and upper leg.

3. Select skirts that hang full from the waist, such as an A-line. Avoid straight skirts or skirts that taper at the knee.

4. Choose jackets that are fitted or flare just above the thighs.

5. Draw attention away from your lower half with brightly colored tops, decorative tops or accessories around the neckline.

6. Remember that dark colors have a slimming effect on the body. Choose charcoal, navy, dark brown or black as base colors for bottoms.

Tips & Warnings

• When poolside, wear a sarong or pareu over your swimsuit.
