10 Ways to Look Ten Pounds Slimmer
So you may have packed on a few pounds, but with a few skillful style tips, you'll be able to disguise the excess weight.
Here's how!
1.) Flattering lengths The most flattering length for you if you're trying to disguise lumps and bumps is three-fourth -- any garment you wear should end between your knees and ankles. So dig those capris out of your closet!
2.) Vertical stripes These are a girl's best friend -- they create the illusion of a longer, slimmer silhouette. But beware -- horizontal ones do exactly the opposite!
3.) Solid colours And we're not just talking about black -- shades like deep purple, blue and maroon have a tendency to smooth away extra weight. This dress would still look great on someone 20 pounds heavier.
4.) Empire waistlines Now this one's just plain common sense. Empire waistlines are cinched below the bust and flow outward, instead of clinging to your tummy and hips -- so any unsightly fat on those areas will be well camouflaged.
5.) A-line appeal Skirts and dresses cut in this pattern -- gently moving away from the waist or hips without flairing out completely -- are also a great way of looking leaner.
6.) Smaller prints The smaller the print, the more petite you look and the bigger the print -- hmmm? You do the math! And if you have weight issues, make sure to team solids with prints if you're wearing separates.
7.) Pants without pockets You're probably well aware that skinnies are not for you, but did you know when it comes to pants that pairs without pockets will make your hips look thinner? Opt for straight, relaxed or boot cuts -- they're your best options. And avoid very roomy pairs even if they're the 'in' thing at the moment -- they'll only make you look bigger than you are.
8.) Big belts Yup, big belts for big people -- you'll look comparatively smaller. And they hold in a lot more than slimline ones, too!
9.) Control innerwear This is your secret weapon. When all else fails, this will work for you -- control innerwear. Corsets, tummy-tucking panties, uplifting bras -- some of them may not look too glamorous, but who's looking underneath? On the outside, your figure will look fab!
10.) High heels And finally, of course, we have that killer pair of heels, which will boost your height by five inches and your ego by 50! Longer legs, slimmer waist, trimmer thighs...Of course, by the end of the night your feet will be begging for mercy, but hey
-- glamour comes at a price!
