How to Instantly Look Thinner

- Dark colors create an aura of thinness. Avoid light colors if at all possible.

 

- White hose - a definite NO NO. Opt for darker hose or hosiery that matches your skin tone.

 

- If you can't button, fasten, or zip your garment, go up one size. Girding up a garment will only serve to create bulges.

 

- Avoid clinging fabrics and velvet. They tend to add pounds.

 

- Avoid bulky fashion gear, including furry objects, ruffles, fluffy fluffs, puffy sleeves, balloon legs, and fuzzy creations.

 

- Chunky shoes will add pounds to your legs.

 

- Make sure hemlines are even and not lopsided.

 

- Leave horizontal fabrics for the Hamburgler.

 

- Solids work best - and remember to go 'dark'.

 

- Avoid loud prints, including large printed fabrics.

 

- Ix-nay on kangaroo pockets.
