Does this make me look fat? While your spouse may roll their eyes when you ask that question, it's actually a valid query. Certain styles and colour will draw attention to pudgy areas, while others will give our bodies more flow, allowing us to look slimmer. If you want to look a little lighter than you are, it's a matter of highlighting the good areas and detracting from the thicker areas. Black is Slimming: This old wive's tale is completely true. And it's not exclusive to just black. Dark, solid colours, such as black, navy blue or dark brown have a slimming effect and make you appear thinner. You should avoid heavy patterns, especially horizontal stripes. The stripes actually add width to your body and make you appear larger. The Right Shoes: Your shoes are an important part of your wardrobe. They complement the legs, and the style is key to completing the look you desire. Wearing shoes that are the same colour as what's dressing your legs, be it pants or pantyhose, will elongate your legs and make them appear slimmer. Short ended round or square toed shoes can make you look stubby, whereas long pointed toes will continue the thinning look. Skinny Jewels: Jewelry can attract attention and broaden a slim face or narrow down a large face. Long dangling jewels are the best accessory choice to reduce the look of broadness. Earrings that hang straight and low are preferable to large chunky styles or oversized circles. The same holds true for necklines, as long necklaces will give you length where as bulky beads will make you look wider. Finally, the most important part of maintaining a slimmer appearance is standing correctly. Stand straight and tall, with correct posture. Slouching will make you look bulkier, so always stand and walk straight, with your head up, arms at your sides (not crossed) and eyes forward.
