7 Ultimate Slimming Fashion Tips

There are a handful easy strategies, and items essential in making a person look slimmer in their clothing. All to often women hide in ensembles that overwhelm, finding themselves swallowed up in an unflattering piece. Interestingly enough, the best way to camouflage the bodies unflattering areas is to accentuate the positives of your bodies shape. Preserve the figure with fitted, but not tight, items. If you're typically self conscious, with the tendency to hide in your clothing, worry not. Mix some of these easy to find items and simple tricks into your wardrobe routine for some assured fashion success.

1. The higher the heels the longer the legs. A nice set of fashionable high heels is the oldest trick in the book and a proven winner.

2. Ditch the stone wash colored jeans and invest in darker denim. Straight leg or trouser like jeans in a dark rinse will make the upper thighs appear thinner. Avoid jeans that hug through the knees, and down to the ankles. This only draws an unwanted emphasis to the hips. The waist of your denim should fall at or just below waist height to detract from the midsection.

3. Blazers over a blouse or dress is an easy technique. Avoid tight fitting, cropped or excessively long jackets in weighty materials. Instead opt for jackets at waist length with 1-2 fastening across the middle.

4. Trousers made from heavier fabrics like tweed hang well and are flattering on all body shapes. For an added bonus, look for pants with a button up front. The button fastening will take emphasis off your trouble spots by drawing the eyes upward.

5. Seek dresses with banned waists sitting at or below the bra line. Empire waists pull attention to the narrowest area of the body, in turn elongating the legs. This can also be achieved by adding a high waisted belt. Contrast the high waist with a deep neckline for added impact.

6. Blouses with interesting details such as beading or ruffling will keep the eye focused up around the neckline and away from the bodies lower half.

7. Similar to dresses, skirts that fit around the hip area but sit high on the waist helps to minimize bulges in the tummy area. Look for well tailored pieces that offer longevity, coupling them with a slim belt and cardigan.
