While you are in the process of trying to shed those pounds before Summer, here are a few tricks that will help you along the way that will give you instant results!
1. Wear skinny high heels with pointy toes.
Legs look slim and sexy in skirts paired with a shoe that has a tapered toe and at least a 2-inch stiletto. A slender toe and thin heel work to extend the narrow silhouette of calves. Square-toe styles with a thick, chunky heel give the appearance of a shorter, bulky leg.
2. Show some skin up top.
Expose a bit with a V-neckline. The open, upside-down triangle creates a high focal point up and away from your midsection and gives the illusion of a longer, slimmer upper body. The more skin displayed between chin and chest (in moderation), the more elegant your proportions will seem overall; wider V-necklines visually balance broad hips and thighs.
3. Embrace Shapewear.
I gotta tell ya, shapewear will truly save your life! This is not your girdle that your grandmother had, these interchangeable pieces work wonders, while still being comfortable during the day. Get pieces that smooth bulges while lifting breasts and the behind. Shapers with extra-firm tummy control work well worn under shifts and pencil skirts.
4. Stick with one hue.
Tops and bottoms of the same color create an uninterrupted vertical line, making you look thinner and taller. Stark contrasts between your upper and lower body draws eyes to your middle.
5. Use Jewelry Strategically.
*Long necklaces add length to a short neck and bring attention away from hips and to the front and center of your body.
*Mid-chest bibs or big chandeliers say look at the face and not the middle.
*Sparkly cuffs, stacks of bangles, and cocktail rings draw the eye to wrists instead of upper arms.
6. Wear hair up and off your face.
Pull tresses into a ponytail high on the back of your head and then lightly tease at the crown to bring out your bone structure and make your face look thinner.
7. Match your shoe color to your leg.
Coordinate tones to elongate your bottom half. In the Winter, wear black opaque tights and black pumps; in the Summer, try neutral skin-hued versions with bare legs.
8. Pick simple Denim.
The most flattering styles are dark and feature unembellished pockets. Avoid extra details that catch the eye and give the illusion of bulk. Think twice about tags, grommets, or decorative extras. The leanest silhouettes of all: boot cut and straight leg.
9. Invest in underwear that fits.
This is one of the biggest mistakes that women are making, which is wearing the wrong bra! A professional bra fitter can determine if you are wearing a wrong-size band and too-small cups, which neither lift nor shape. Down below, too-snug panties create bulges, while visible panty lines disrupt the clean lines of top layers, contributing to bulk around the butt and hips. Get a smooth rear view with thongs or g-strings, or for more backside coverage, consider seamless panties or cheekies!
