It’s Monday morning. Oh, and as if Monday isn’t already enough, there’s something wrong with my mirror. Hmm, can a mirror break down?! Or my does the way I see myself has something to do with the weekend when I went on a most indulging culinary spree? I know, the same old rhetorical questions. Well, I don’t even have time for them. So I quickly make myself a mug of black coffee (even if a teaspoon of sugar can no longer change anything) and I’m thinking: what to wear to look thinner? At least tor today only, as of tomorrow I solemnly swear to start a diet. These being said, I have a few useful styling tricks that I apply every time I want to look slimmer: you’ll find them below, I hope they’ll work for you, too.
1
The V-neckline
Show a little skin! The V-neckline pieces are the most suitable – they create a point of interest and give the impression of an elongated and narrow silhouette. So here’s a good reason to start collecting shirts, blouses, sweaters, cardigans or even dresses – all with a V-neckline.
2
The pencil skirt
I know it very well: the first thought is to hide yourself in loose clothes. Just that, unfortunately, that doesn’t trick anyone. A knee-length skirt flatters any silhouette. Cover your tummy with an oversized or a peplum blouse or a jacket and a shirt opened at the top two buttons.
3
The navy jeans
Simply the best bet for a voluptuous body. Choose a pair of straight, dark and simple jeans. No unnecessary detailing or applications on the pockets, but always with a high waist. Wear them with a pair of stilettos or with wedges.
4
The high-heeled shoes
Oh, yes, I got to the shoes. Rule number one: high heels. The ideal model is a pointed-toe classic stiletto and a minimum 7 centimeters heel (the ones with a 10 centimeters look even better, even though they are not so comfortable). During winter, wear black shoes and black opaque tights. And in summertime, choose nude shoes, in tone your skin.
5
The highlighted waistline
No matter what part of the body you want to hide, define your waistline. The best solution is to wear a belt: a skinny and delicate one. If you wear a dress, choose one with a cut that highlights your waistline.
6
The perfect proportions
Find the balance between the loose clothing, which seem to cover everything, and the tight ones – which are showing it all. Wear oversized blouses with skinny pants or pencil skirts. Or, on the contrary, choose a tight blouse that draws attention to your bust and match it with straight pants or jeans. The secret is to emphasize what you like best about you.
