Got some extra luggage you don’t want others know about? Here are some tips on how to look dress to look thinner.

Dark Colors

Dark colors such as black or navy provide your body with a slender shape, mainly because they reduce the shadow effect that makes you look larger. If you are a bit overweight, wearing anything very light or bright will only produce shadows on your clothing due to the shadows produced by your excess size. You may not be able to see it that clearly, but from afar, all of the tiny shadowing adds up. So remember to wear dark colors in order to negate shadowing, making you look slimmer.

Vertical Stripes = Slimmer Figure

Vertical stripes act as an enhancement to a slender figure. Vertical stripes give eyes the illusion that make you taller. Unlike vertical stripes, wearing horizontal stripes will stress the sideways aspect of your body. This will only serve the purpose of making you look wider, wider than you would like.

Accessorize

Make sure to wear accessories, whether it be a purse or a set of earrings, necklace, or any type of jewelry. This will draw attention away from your other parts and to the places of your body you want to accentuate. Even so, you need to make sure to wear proportionate accessories. If you want to dress smaller and thinner, don’t cling onto a tiny purse or bag. This only serves to make your body look bigger with respect to your accessories, thereby defeating the purpose.

No tights

This one is simple. If you don’t want to reveal rolls, don’t wear anything that clings to your body or is skintight. Make sure that you don’t go overboard on the other side as well – wearing anything that is overly baggy and sagging. The trick is to keep a good balance and make everything proportional, thereby negating any funny looking effects that will make you look bigger. You want clothes that will accentuate your curves and bring out your natural body figure and bone structure, not any that will overly accentuate it or cover it up all together.
