8 WAYS TO HIDE A FEW EXTRA POUNDS

Spread the love

It’s easy to look
10 or 15 pounds lighter by following this “clothes diet”. So why
choose liposuction when you can hide a few extra pounds with easy fashion
tricks? You can still wear the latest trends and look great. Just follow our
easy, flattering tips
LAY OFF THE LOOSE
The biggest
misconception is that looser clothes make you look smaller. Instead, dress in a
way that’s tailored but not tight. In fact, a good tailor can be your best
ally. Cut is even more important than dark colors when it comes to having a
slimming effect.
BODY SLIP
A must under
today’s body-conscious looks, a body slip offers loads of smoothing.
 Choose a
style — from half-slips (great for pencil skirts) to full-body slips (perfect
for fitted dresses) — that works with your outfit.
SOFT LAYERS
Keep your layering
pieces lightweight whether you choose two tank tops, an open blouse over a tank
top or other combo.
BISECT WITH A BELT
It may sound
illogical, but if you have a tummy or a beer belly, your best tactic is to have
a belt cut across it. Not higher (looks old), not lower (looks sloppy), but
smack through the middle. 
It creates a shorter torso and a longer leg line,
explains London,which makes you look taller and leaner. The same logic applies
to shirts. Instead of letting them hang around your thighs, keep them at the
top of your hips (or higher) to preserve a slimming leg line.
ACCESSORIZE TO YOUR
ASSETS
If you’re not happy
with your bottom half, don’t wear bold bracelets that call attention to it when
your arms are down. Instead, wear a bold necklace or earrings that draw the
focus upward.
STILETTOS
High heels with
pants give you amazing length and sleekness in your legs. Sandals and pumps
with 2 1/2 to more than 3 inch heels will do the trick.

PANTSUIT
Dressing in all one
color is a sure-fire flatterer. Choose longer jackets to hide larger bottoms;
add a sexier cami or blouse to soften the look and draw attention to the face.
OVERSIZED HANDBAG
Sounds too good to
be true, but proportion can play tricks on the eye. Choose a shape that
flatters (square shapes complement a rounder figure) and a strap length that
doesn’t land in a problem area (don’t let the bottom of the purse rest on full
hips).
