Looking Fit

Struggling to lose that last 10 pounds? Hey, we all are. Well, there is some good news. While losing weight is usually the primary goal for anyone, you can actually dress in a manner that will make it appear you have lost that weight.

Can the outfit you wear really make you look thinner? Yes it can. The key is to use the right strategy to flaunt your assets and move the focus away from your deficits. Following is some advice on how exactly to go about doing just that.

Okay, the simple stuff should be covered early. To look thinner, we want to use dark colors. Tops and bottoms should be the same dark color, but can be different shades. We also want clean vertical lines wherever possible.

To best use colors, it is important to understand why they are important. Dark colors tend to deemphasize an area. I have larger thighs, so wearing black slacks helps me create a smoother look and use accessories to move the eyes elsewhere.

Color is your friend when it comes to dressing for a thinner look. Black and dark blue will not attract attention, but what about for you assets? A solid strong color like red and plenty of accessories will bring the focus to those areas.

Do not forget to consider the way undergarments can make a difference. Bras come in many different styles with each creating a particular look. Use them to your advantage. The same goes for small pads in your shoulders.

As you well know, fabrics come in many styles and widths. Go with thin fabrics that are not clingy. Bulkier, heavy fabrics should be avoided like the plague. They will not enhance a thinner look, so there simply is no need for them.

If you want to look thinner, tighter clothes will do the trick, right? Wrong! Clothes that are to tight just make your bad areas stick out. Go with clothes that move over a trouble area seamlessly and are dark.

The overall look you want is something that is clean and hints at your curves. This is not a baggy dress or outfit. It is a clean, dark outfit with vertical lines and accessories that bring the eye to whatever area you want to emphasize.

What about prints? Many women enjoy wearing outfits that have prints or embellishments on them. If you are going for the thinner look, this is usually a bad choice. Prints tend to bring attention to areas of the body that should not get it.

What if I absolutely must be able to wear prints? About the best compromise that can be reached is to wear them in a way that emphasizes your strengths. They may not help you look thinner, but it will really not matter.

In summary, a thin look is not that hard to achieve. Choose darker colors for your outfits. The cut should be clean and the materials should be thinner. Try to emphasize as many vertical lines as possible.
