You should definitely be familiar with the following situation: “Well, today I eat, I don’t deny myself anything, and from Monday, EXACTLY on a diet!” But the miracle does not happen and on Monday we do not keep our promise. Is that familiar?

Let us be realistic, if we cannot start losing weight for any reason, then we will try to become slimmer visually. Clothes, shoes and accessories - to help us with this.

I will tell you 10 tricks with which you will definitely look slimmer:

1. Monochrome image. The top and bottom in the same color create one common vertical line that lengthens your silhouette.



2. Vertical lines in clothes. One of the most famous and 100% working. Vertical lines can be in the form of an elongated top, a V-neck top. Floor-length trousers and high waistline are also examples of vertical lines.



3. Layering in clothes. The second layer in the form of an elongated jacket, cardigan, stylish plaid "lumberjack" shirt will also create a vertical line, visually stretching the silhouette.



4. Add a bold detail to the look. For example, let's take a black jacket and put on a red blouse under it. A visually bright red accent inside will make the figure slimmer. This works with any color.



5. Wraparound dress or wrap-around blouses, operate on the same principle as vertical lines, only there is only one line: this is a cut line running in the middle of the body, which visually thinns the figure and always beautifully emphasizes a large chest.



6. Conciseness and simplicity. Choose the most laconic styles, with simple lines. Such clothes will allow you not to focus on your shortcomings.



7. Don't forget about accessories. Long chains with pendants work on the same principle as tops with a V-neck: they visually stretch the figure, which gives visual harmony.



8. Belt. The belt not only emphasizes the waist, but also helps to "fit" the clothes on the figure, creating the feeling that the clothes were sewn on you. Correct belt width: 2-3 fingers.



9. Trousers with arrows. Strict straight arrows are able to reduce the volume of the legs and hips, and also with the help of them the silhouette is stretched, because the arrows themselves again create a vertical.



10. Pants and shoes in one color. Shoes to match the trousers, as it were, create one common vertical line, due to this, the figure looks slimmer. In summer, opt for shoes and sandals in neutral shades to match your skin tone.
