"Hello. My name is Gabriela Garzon at G.G. Image and Etiquette Consulting in Miami, Florida. In this clip, I'm going to talk about how to wear slimming clothes. Basically these are tips that you can use whenever it is that you're going to go shopping or just go ahead and put a whole outfit together. So, we'll start with basics. You should try and wear clothes that have pin stripes because it's a diagonal line which going to make you elongate your figure, and another great tip that I like doing is layering with the same color, which means using monochromatic type of dressing. It doesn't mean that you have to wear all in black, it just means that you can wear different values of the same color. Like I'm wearing this lighter gray but I'm also wearing like the charcoal darker gray. Now, if I want to look slimmer, than this type of colors that I'm wearing, I can go ahead and wear either a lighter or a darker top because that way it will elongate what I'm wearing. So basically try to match the top and the bottom with the same type of colors, just different lightness or darkness and it will give you a feeling, an illusion that you look slimmer, because it's a complete line that you do not break. Once again, this is Gabbie at G.G. Image and Etiquette Consulting."
