Blazer over jeans
The clean lines of a blazer's lapel immediately hides curves from your
back and upper arms. Pair a longer-cut blazer with straight leg jeans
for a slimming effect on your upper torso while also hiding your bottom.
An open jacket with a V-neck top underneath will draw attention to all
the right places.
Nude shoes
When you pair nude pumps or sandals with bare legs, the effect is an
immediate lengthening of the legs, making you look taller and thinner.
Nude pumps have been the red carpet secret of celebrities for the past
few years. For dressier occasions, pick a patent leather nude pump with a
platform for added height and shine. Be sure to pick the right nude for
your skin tone!
Tan is golden
A faux-tan can help minimize the sight of blemishes from cellulite,
stretch marks etc. With a clean visual line on arms and legs, the body
naturally looks thinner. If you prefer to skip the fake bake, go ahead
and invest in a bronzer or illuminating lotion/powder that'll give your
skin a healthy glow.
Black on black
When wearing black tights, leggings, or skinny pants, pair the legs with
a pair of black pumps or sandals. The same principle behind nude pumps
and bare legs applies here -- when you create a monochromatic line, the
body is immediately lengthened.
