How to Look Slimmer

Pictures - East

Always buy the right size - nothing is guaranteed to make you look like a size 18 than buying a size 16 outfit that is too tight!
 
Look for vertical and diagonal styling lines on garments - avoid as much horizontal detail as possible.
 
Keep to deeper colours for the main part of your outfit.
 
Make a big statement with accessories. Avoid tiny jewellery and bags.
 
Open collars are most flattering. Avoid chokers or tightly-tied scarves.
 
 
Wear chunky shoes and matt tights. Avoid thin heels and ankle straps.
 
Make sure your hairstyle has width and/or volume so that your head looks scaled to your body.
 
A large bust needs a good bra with a broad band at the back for support. Avoid breast pockets - particularly with buttons.
 
Keep jackets/tops quite long but not too long if you have short legs. Single breasted jackets are more slimming and shoulder pads will balance your hips.
 
Straight-leg or gently flared trousers look good - avoid gathered ankles at all costs!
