Many women want to look slimmer than they are, although it is not necessary at all because everyone is beautiful in their own way. If you still want to look slimmer than you are, we've listed some tricks here.
Choose comfortable shoes
To elongate your legs and slim your body, wear shoes that are similar to your skin tone. So beige, nude, brown or whatever color is closest to the color of your legs will prolong their appearance. If you are wearing slacks or tights, choose shoes the same color as your clothes. This trick works because it visually adds length to your legs and makes you look a few inches taller. It is also wise to avoid shoes with ankle straps or buckles, as they make your legs look shorter than they actually are.
Avoid all clothes that are too small or too big
Do not buy clothes that are smaller or larger than your size. Such clothes will only emphasize your shortcomings and visually add some pounds. Your outfit should suit you and it should emphasize what you want while hiding any flaws.
Always keep your back straight
Good posture can make any woman look beautiful and it also makes the waist smaller. That's why slouching is such a bad habit, because it not only makes you look shorter and wider, but it can also cause health problems. To avoid this, keep your back straight and tighten your buttocks slightly. Imagine a thread pulling from the top of your head.
Learn simple contouring techniques Contouring makes your face look slimmer and can even hide a double chin. You just need to learn how to use dark and light tones correctly. The most important rule to remember is to darken everything you want to hide and lighten everything you want to emphasize.
Darken your skin tone a bit The tanner your skin looks, the less visible extra pounds and cellulite become. The best alternative to a tan is a bronzer.
Choose the right fabrics
Do not buy clothes made from raw materials. Avoid square silhouettes and angular lines, as they only draw attention to any problem areas. Choose clothes made of supple and flexible fabrics to disguise any flaws.
Choose the right accessories Tight scarves and turtlenecks can overwhelm your overall image. You can just let a scarf hang loosely. Necklines that are round or V-shaped are the best choice. Also release 2-3 buttons at the neck area. Long necklaces that are not large and small stud earrings are also recommended because they elongate your neck and emphasize your cleavage.
Don't emphasize your problem areas
Sometimes women try to hide a problem area by covering it up too much. This actually results in the opposite of the desired effect, as these areas end up attracting more attention. For example, if you don't like the way your hips look, don't wear jeans with big pockets or lots of prints. The less attention you draw to a problem area, the better you will look.
Go to the hairdresser
Voluminous hairstyles can make your appearance unbalanced. Prefer medium or shoulder lengths. Short haircuts look good if your neck is hidden under hair and hair near the ears is a little longer. It is also recommended to avoid hairstyles that are a bit too 'creative'. Long and straight emphasize problem areas. If you can't give up your long hair, try adding some volume to the hair above the shoulders.
Wear shapewear Shapewear can help you look slimmer and fitter as it gives you the chance to look good in almost anything you want to wear. In addition, it is useful not only for overweight women, but also for women who want to hide cellulite or folds in the abdomen and hip. But don't wear it too often; only use shapewear for special occasions.
