Losing weight can be tough and if is done in a healthy manner, can take time. Everyone who has gone on a diet knows that there is always that in between stage, where you are not the size that you once were but also not the size that you want to be. Thankfully, there are ways to look thinner without actually being thinner. Wearing the right clothes can easily “take off” 10-15 pounds. In this article, we’ll discuss some clever ways to camouflage those extra pounds.

 

1.      Forget the baggy clothes: Many people who are overweight try to hide behind baggy clothes. This is a huge no-no. Baggy clothes will only make you look bigger and boxy. Instead, find clothes that fit. You will look much slimmer and pulled together. Also be careful not to wear clothes that are too tight either. These types of clothing will likely be very unflattering.

 

 

2.      Choose the right length: Long skirts often look best on taller women and can have a slimming effect. If you are shorter, look for skirts that fall just below the knee. You will look leaner and longer.

 

3.      Choose Patterned Clothing: Patterns can hide many of our trouble spots. The only ones that you should absolutely be avoided are stripes, both vertical and horizontal. However, except for these two, patterns can camouflage many imperfections. They also can be quite fashionable and attractive.

 

4.      V-lines are good: V-line shirts and sweaters can divert attention upward toward the face and not the abdomen.

 

5.      Leave tapered styles in the store: Tapered and flare pants cuts are not for everyone. This is especially true if your have wider hips and legs. Dark wash jeans and/or pants with a straight cut generally look best.

 

6.      Avoid Bulky Knits: Wearing bulky fabrics can instantly make you look 10 or 15 pounds heavier. Absolutely avoid these especially around your hips and waist.

 

7.      Wear Heels: Heels add a bit of sexiness and can help your waist and hips look thinner. Now, you don’t have to wear 5 inch heels.  2-3 inches can really help you look slimmer.

 

8.      Wear The Right Undergarments: Wearing the right undergarments can make a huge difference. They can help smooth out rolls and drastically improve the fit of your clothing. Investing in quality girdles and shaping garments can help you look a size or two smaller.

 

We are not always at our ideal weight or comfortable and satisfied with our bodies. Many times, while we are in the process of losing weight, we go through stages where we don’t feel confident about how we look. Wearing the right clothes can instantly help us look a couple sizes smaller and 10 pounds lighter. Choosing clothes that fit, wearing patterns and avoiding bulky fabrics can be very beneficial. High heels and good quality undergarments (i.e., girdles, shapers and panties) also make a huge difference and can help individuals appear thinner.

 

Of course, one does not have to sole simply rely on clothing to look thing. Consuming a low fat, well balanced diet with plenty of veggies and starting a consistent and challenging exercise program can help individuals take off the weight so that they can begin to look good in everything that they wear.
