Here are some keys to looking thinner right now.
Improve Your Posture
Dancers know that good posture is key to looking long, lean and graceful. Lengthening and straightening the spine can help you look slimmer. To improve posture, focus on straightening the spine, relaxing the shoulders and tightening the stomach muscles. Think about making yourself taller without changing the position of your feet. Improving posture will help to instantly change your overall look.
Choose The Right Undergarments
Many women wear the wrong bra size. Nothing can make a person appear larger than a bra so tight it creates rolls or lines in the back or cleavage areas. To make sure your bra fits well, get a bra sizing. Go to any Victoria's Secret store to get a bra sizing. Wearing the correct bra size will make your shirts and dresses fit better.
Beyond bra size, undergarments such as Spanks can help to smooth rolls in the midsection. Spanks are undergarments that fit over the midsection and thighs. They are made of elastic and help to pull in and smooth out trouble areas. Though effective, these undergarments can sometimes be uncomfortable and should only be worn when absolutely necessary.
Choosing the right underwear is also important. Try to make sure that your underwear fits well and does not create any unecessary lines. Underwear should give you stomach support, but shouldn't squeeze you in so tightly that it creates a stomach bulge at the top. Choose a fit and cut that will give you the best support without being uncomfortable or too tight.
Choose Slimming Clothes
Clothing can help to either add or subtract pounds from your overall look. Many women make the mistake of trying to fit into smaller sizes to look thinner. The truth is, squeezing into smaller sizes could make you look like a stuffed sausage. Instead of trying to fit in a smaller size, try on a size larger than your normal size. Often times wearing a larger size will help to make you look slimmer. Don't, however, wear anything too baggy. You just want to wear a size that fits well and gives you enough room to feel comfortable.
Color can help to slim your look. Graphic prints can help to camoflage extra pounds. Try prints like florals or geometric patterns. Dark colors can also help to visually slim a person. Colors like black, brown and navy create an overall slender look. You can also use color to draw others' eyes to your strong points. Wear an outfit with dark colors and add a pop of color with a necklace or neck scarf to create a focal point near the face. Using color well can help to create a sylish and slender look.
