Get A Thinner Appearance With The Right Clothes
We cannot all be super models weighing 12 pounds. Most of us have to deal with that thing called life, which can do real damage to any diet. If you are a full figured woman like I am, there are ways to enhance yourself with outfits.
To get that tall and thinner look, we need to really bear down in two areas. The two areas of focus are the colors we use and the type of clothing we go with. Get them just right and the appropriate look can be achieved. Mess them up, and the opposite can happen.
Our focus word when dressing is verticality. We want to create vertical lines, which make you look taller and thinner. Horizontal lines and other designs have the opposite effect. When evaluating a piece of clothing, ask if it enhances the vertical lines in your outfit.
Okay, our first bit of advice deal with color. The base aspects of your outfit should be monochromatic. Not just any color will do. You want a darker color such as black or charcoal. You can use shades if you wish to mix things up.
Okay, one dark color is not going to look so great. To spice things up, try a jacket with color. Go for a solid color without embellishments. Leave the jacket unbuttoned in the front to emphasize the vertical cut and your thinner appearance.
Accessorizing is a great way to bring life to the outfit. You want to keep the vertical theme, however. A great way to do this is with a long scarf. Give it a wrap around the neck and let it hang. It will really emphasize the vertical look.
Many of us full figured women like to wear larger belts. If you are going for a thinner look, this is not a good idea. The belt acts as a horizontal stripe and breaks the effect of the vertical lines of your outfit. Stick to smaller belts if possible.
Skirts are wonderful things if the correct strategy is employed. Short skirts should be avoided no matter how nice your legs are. To get the tall and thin look, only wear skirts that are longer than they are wide.
Topping off our outfit will be the shoes. Shoes can make or break a look. In this case, however, they can literally help us look taller. Yes, I am talking about high heels. Go has high and thin as you can.
What about outfits that have stripes? Horizontal stripes are not a good choice. Vertical stripes can be used occasionally, but generally should be avoided wherever possible. Stripes just do not make the full figured women.
Looking your best is important. If you are trying for a thinner look, following the tips mentioned above will help you get that look you want.
