Dress Thinner This Summer

Listen up. Summer kind of crept up on us. And what of that bikini diet you were supposed to conquer by now? Well that didn’t happen.

It’s cool.  There are ways to look slimmer that don’t include dressing in all black.  Sure, black attire helps but the color draws in the sweltering heat. Plus you’ll just look super boring.

We pulled together some great information for looking your personal best this summer.  Here are some tips for dressing thinner and for some great summer fashion deals click on the store logos throughout:

One Color

Lots of you have heard of color blocking but probably don’t execute it properly. So, we suggest you make it easier for yourself. Simply use single-color schemes. As in wearing one solid, dark color — like brown, navy or black — or different tones of the same color. It could be shades of beige, aqua, or coral, or any color that brings out the best in your complexion. If you think color makes you look larger, try wearing the same color on your entire body and see what a difference it can make.

Fabric

Choose your fabrics with care. Stiff, hard, and heavy fabrics do not compliment a less-than-slender figure.  Clingy, over-Spandexed fabrics that magnify every bulge and ripple are no help either. The best choice: Fluid fabrics that drape the body and softly follow your curves. Your goal is to see your overall shape, not the shape of every body part.

Incognito Body Parts

Time to hide those large hips or pudgy tummy. A sleek, straight line with front slit pockets or no pockets will do wonders to the figure.  To minimize your buttocks and tummy, look for pants cut at, or slightly below, your natural waist. The general rule here: The higher the waist, the larger your butt will look.

Lengthen

For a taller, slimmer look, the hem of your pants should almost touch the floor, with a slight break in front at the top of the shoe. Pants that end just below the ankle can add 10 pounds to your appearance.

Shoe Power

Don’t overlook the power of shoes to balance your body and make you look slimmer! Looks to avoid include thin, strappy sandals (particularly if your foot is chubby or wide), and tiny or thin kitten heels. Instead, look for a chunky heel — and, if you can stand it, a high heel, which can make you look 5 pounds thinner no matter what else you’re wearing. Styles to avoid include ankle straps, Mary Jane straps, and square-toe shoes, all of which can make your feet look squatty and your legs shorter.
