The first rule is to buy clothing that fits you. No matter what your size, if you wear the wrong size you’ll end up looking bigger than you are. Wearing clothing that is too tight adds bulges and lumps. Clothing that is too big just adds size to your body.

Choose clothing that skims over the areas you want to disguise. Only one baggy item is allowed on your body at one time! It does not fool anyone to cloak yourself in material. Tighten up where your body is slimmest. If your upper body is slimmer, then go for a fitted top. Good legs? A great skirt or jeans will look perfect with a longer, looser top. The eye will go right to the good stuff! Longer pants give the look of leaner legs. You’ve seen it on the red carpet, pants so long that they are practically hitting the floor. It’s a way that the celebs make their legs look miles long. Here’s how you can create the look. Choose boot cut pants and pair them with heels that should be at least half covered with the pant while standing. Be careful with the shoe or boot that you select. A stiletto could get caught in the pant. Choose a stacked heel. All right, we’ve all seen those oh so embarrassing “Mom Jeans” on Saturday Night Live, but there’s always a grain of truth in those parodies. No matter your size always go for a pant or jean waistband that falls below your natural waistline. It visually shrinks your hips and is much more flattering. A little bit of stretch goes a long way in flattering the body. It flows with the body, caressing it, rather than pinching it. The right stretch will retain it’s memory and snap back into place so it never looks droopy or stretched out.

Balance is Key

Wear a fitted skirt with a frilly blouse. Offset a full skirt with a tailored top to keep the look from going over the top. Narrow pants require coordination with volume like a boxy jacket or a dolman top.

Style to look slimmer

Avoid:

• Cropped or wide leg pants which shorten legs
• Layers of material that add volume
• Horizontal details that accent wider body parts
• Empire waisted dresses hide a thick waistline
• Tight skirts in a light color
• Tapered cuts

Look For:

• V-neck to slim and lengthen your torso
• Details at your best body part
• Classic trouser without too much volume or detailing

Style to look Taller

Avoid:

• Long skirts with too much fabric
• Long shapeless dress
• Baggy pants

Look For:

• Above the knee skirt gives the appearance of height by lengthening the leg
• Fitted city shorts
• Platform shoes. Not too retro, but with a slight lift on the toe box
• Slim pants
• Cropped jackes
• Fitted waist defining dress
• Higher waist
• One color or coordinating tones
• Skinny anything if it can be pulled off
• Body appropriate detailing

Minimize a Tummy

Use clothing that draws attention to the upper body or legs. Look for dresses that create a line from the shoulders to the middle of the leg. Tunic tops, square shaped jackets, and flat front pants are also flattering.

Get Support

Wearing the right underwear is key to looking thinner in your clothing. Thongs and g-strings are only for the very young who have no fat on their body and no sag.
Choose the right bra! To create great cleavage, there is nothing better than a bra with criss-cross straps. It pulls the breast up and together for instant cleavage.

Look More Voluptuous

Apply blush a shade darker than your skin tone between your breasts to create cleavage and shadows. A touch of shimmer on top of each breast will highlight the breasts and make them appear fuller.

Use a Shaper

Even though there are several shaper brands, insiders rely on long line tights because they are seamless and go all the way up to the bra line. You can replicate the effect with control top panty hose that is one size too long and has extra firm control. Hike it up under your bra for a sleek slim shape.

Minimize a Large Bust

Wear supportive bras made with quality material. Keep away from pockets and other features that only draw attention to your breasts. Choose open collar and v-neck tops that break up the line from your shoulder to chest. Draw attention away from your chest with large earrings.
