10 Clothes that Make You Look Thinner
6. Garments made from right fabric
Some fabrics are hard to deal with when it comes to looking slimmer. For instance, tight spandex-like material is really not a good choice if you want to look leaner. Such a material will cling to your body and highlight every roll and fold you have. So, stick with the flowing fabrics. Go for materials that lightly drape over your body.
7. Clothes with bold colors and patterns
Light colors can make you look fuller. So, go for dark and bold colors to look thinner. Try some monochromatic color schemes. Pick some tops having large blocks of solid color. People will ultimately focus more on your height than your width, making you appear thinner as well as taller. Avoid tops with horizontal stripes. They will surely make you look fat. Instead, go for garments having vertical zippers, stripes or rows of embellishments. Vertical details encourage human eyes to look up and down instead of looking from side to side. This creates the illusion of slenderness.
8. Go for straight cut pants
Going for straight cut tops is not a good idea but wearing straight cut lowers is. Pick flared jeans instead of skinny or pencil style jeans. Skinny jeans attract attention to your hip and thigh area which is not good. So, avoid wearing jeans and trousers with a tapered leg style because they can make your hips look heavy. Instead, go for straight-cut pants and jeans. Don’t pick garments having a bottom that is too flared. Such garments balance the look of your legs, creating an overall leaner look.
9. Wear A-line and knee-length skirts or dresses
A-line skirts are fitted at the hip and upper thigh area but they flare out toward your knees. This can actually create a balanced look and prevent your legs from looking fuller and top heavy. Knee-length skirts are suitable for different body shapes. You also must try skirts with mid-calf styles. Some of them can make you look slimmer as well as taller.
10. Highlight the best features of your body and hide the ones that are not in shape
If you have firm legs then show them off by wearing a knee length skirt. On the other hand, if you have a well-defined waist, then wear nipped waistlines and belts which attract attention. This way, you will be able to draw attention to the most slender body parts which will create an illusion of overall slenderness. Don’t go for jeans or dresses having embellishments on the hip area if you have heavy hips. This will attract people’s attention to heavy areas.
