"Hi I'm Bruce Marshall from Budapest, Hungary and we are going to show you how to dress to look thinner without dieting. Now most people think that there is one trick to this and that is just wearing one color like basically wearing basic black from head to toe. Now you need to understand that black doesn't necessarily make you look thinner it just makes you look back. However as demonstrated here on our model Kata, what we are really doing with the line is you should use one base color like we are doing here with the browns which gives it an extra long look and when things are looking long they look a lot more narrow. Then she breaks it up with the red cardigan just to make it look a little bit different but that really is the trick to making yourself look thinner without dieting, basically you just basically wear your base color with just a little accent and that will always extend your lines, make you look slimmer and you know when you feel you look slimmer you are already happier. Now another trick when you really want to dress to make yourself look slimmer is even when you have your underlining base color like we do here with the brown when you have something over top of it for it to cut in at the waist will actually give you that illusion that you are thinner because it brings the eye in at the waist and out at the hips so therefore it brings the line in which gives the illusion that basically you are slimmer than you actually are."
