Today’s world dictates that slim is beautiful. Yet, not
all women and men are born slim. To get into an acceptable shape, men and women
get into all kinds of diet programmes, exercises, and in extreme cases, go
under the knife. For most people, it is much easier to pile on the weight than
to lose it.
Being a plus size shouldn’t be a reason not to look good.
Here are a few style tips to help you dress yourself to slimmer you...
HIGHLIGHT YOUR ASSETS
Not all women are endowed all round. But you can play up
your best assets to good advantage. This is the secrets to looking good in
clothes. For instance, if you have great curves, flaunts it in fitted pencil
skirt or wrap dress. And if you have great legs, flaunts them with minis-dress
or skirt. For the areas you are not so confident about, mask them with fabrics
or wear dark colours.
EMBRACE SHAPEWEAR (BODY SHAPER)
The ordinary woman on the street has never stopped wondering
how some celebrities they see on the red carpet manage to keep such amazing
figure. The secret for many of them is the spanx that they wear. Ensure you get
your size. Spanx is supportive, stretchy and can smooth out problem areas of
the body such as bulges.
STAND IN SKY SCRAPPER
High heels are still incredibly a girl’s helper when it
comes to fashion. Not only do they add height and make you taller and appear
thinner, heels also help to improve your posture. You can go for both classic
and trendy types. However, avoid ankle strap as they will make your legs appear
shorter.
EMPLOY THE POWER OF STRIPES
If you are feeling nautical, the way to go is to step
into a striped dress, skirt or even blouses. Striped dresses come in
apparently, endless variety of styles, silhouettes and colour combinations.
But if you are looking to dressing slim down, the
horizontal stripe which is most girls’ favourite is not for you. Instead, opt
for vertical stripes. They create a slimming illusion.
GET A BLAZER
A classic blazer such as the single breasted one is an essential
in any woman’s wardrobe. You can rely on your blazer in season and out of
season. Very flattering are the pieces that are ticked in the waist. Get one in
dark colour like black or navy.
CINCH IN THE WAIST
Whether it’s a dress, or a cardigan, you get instant
slimming effect when you cinch in the waist. Keep a collection of belts; they
are great with floor length dresses like the maxi. Getting tiny belts in bright
bold colours also help make the waste appear slimmer.
GET IT FITTED
We live in an age where clothes are worn to fit. Wearing oversized
clothes would not smaller or slimmer. Rather, baggy clothes will make you look
shapeless. Wear clothes that flatter your figure. If you have big arms, let
your sleeves fit. Stay away from dresses that look like tents.
WEAR HIGH WAIST
For those who are not tall, the whole idea of wearing a
high waist skirt or trouser is to give the illusion of longer legs. For a good
effect, tuck in your shirt, tank or blouse. It will highlight your waist in the
most flattering way.
