How to...
DRESS SLIMMER

Eating healthier and exercising daily will help shed excess weight but why not let your wardrobe do a little of the work for you? Dress your way to a slimmer silhouette with these tips.

 

If you are looking for ways to look more streamlined in your clothing, let the rules of proportion, colour and fit accent your best features:

The Dark Side: It has been proven that dark colours like black, navy and charcoal will slim your look, so use this simple rule to your advantage.

Get in Control: With all the latest options for slimming undergarments, girdles these days aren’t anything like your grandma’s, and are often in the form of “shapers” which look and feel great under your clothing.

The bulk stops here: Choose fabrics that offer nice drape and avoid bulky or highly-textured textiles that just add to anyone’s overall size.

Accessorize Cleverly: Intentionally move eyes away from your flaws and up to your face with pretty scarves, earrings and necklaces.

Tight is not right: Make finding the right fit your first priority and steer clear of tight clothing that will only accentuate problems.

Detail Disguise: Cleverly-placed ruching, gathers and smocking can help hide bulges and accentuate positive features, and add figure-flattering curves where needed.
