Well, my stomach is all droopy…. it makes me look fat.
Now, I’m not anorexic, I still eat. But I’m in perfect heath, so I really don’t need any extra workout.
But I love dressing up in clothes. What are some fashion tips that will create a illusion to make someone look skinnier?
1) Wear the appropriate size. I have never understood why for example a size 7 would squeeze into a 3 just because they can get the pants to zip. It’s not as though other people know what size it is! If you wear too small, it emphasizes fat (and not to mention muffin tops are disgusting) If you wear too big, you look like you’re drowning in material. Get a nice, smooth fit.
(Found this on google: Some believe that wearing baggy clothing makes them look thinner. Actually the opposite holds true, baggy clothing can make you look bigger and sloppier. Baggy clothing allows for no shape or definition to your figure. At the same time, extremely tight clothing is also not good. Most times tight clothing draws attention to problem areas, bulges and bumps. There are times that tight clothing can even expose that unsightly cellulite in thighs and buttocks. It is possible to wear fitted clothing that is NOT too tight. When dressing in fitted pieces, please make sure that the clothing does not expose any bulges or bumps. If you zip a skirt and a muffin top appears, that skirt is too small. If something is slightly tighter than you would like, consider wearing shape wear under the piece.)
2. Blouses with a V neck. They lengthen your figure and you will appear taller.
3. Wear dark colors (Black is ALWAYS in style which is a plus)
4. Spanx and shapewear. (I found this description on google: Shape wear can make you lose and inch of your waist INSTANTLY. You will go from hubba bubba to Jessica Rabbit in 0-20 seconds. However, there are a few things to consider. If you are purchasing shape wear to wear in the summer time under thinner materials, you want to go for Spanx. Spanx does not have the wires that some shape wear has. These wires are visible at times when wearing thinner materials. You also want to consider the size. If you are waist training and want to lose an inch or two off your waist, you should buy your shape wear one size too small. For example, if I am a size medium blouse, I would buy a small in shape wear. Keep in mind, shape wear is not necessarily meant to be comfortable when used for waist training.)
5. Low rise jeans that sit comfortably at your waist give the allusion of being slender
6. IF you wear patterns, make sure they are small.
7. Wear High Heels. Wearing high heels can help you look thinner in two ways. Number one and the obvious, high heels make you look taller. The taller you are the thinner you appear. Number two, heels are also great for your legs. High heels make your calves look slender and more defined. High heels are a must for looking thinner without losing weight
8. Good posture.
9. Boat neck necklines, which are popular for spring’s ¾ length sleeve tops, have a slimming effect on the upper body.
10. .Pulling your hair up and away from your shoulders will peel away pounds. Try sweeping your hair into a high ponytail and you’ll be surprised at how much slimmer your face looks.
11. Not only are vertical- and pin-stripes slimming, but asymmetrical stripes such as miter stripe blouses and tunics also work. They have a lengthening effect on your upper body.
12 .A sheer blouse over a matching opaque tank skims the body so your entire silhouette looks slimmer.

Do not wear tight shirts. Wear loose clothing and wear black. It makes you look thinner.

Wear black, you can’t see the shadows that your body makes and it makes you look skinnier, also if you wear some skinny jeans or a fitted skirt or something and a loose top it will look good. Hope this helps

vertical stripes make everyone look thinner-stay away from horizontal stripes!
