It's the festive season again, which means tons of
parties and lots of food! If you ate yourself into a food coma this
thanksgiving and need a way to camouflage those extra pounds,
reach
for these savvy tips on how to create the illusion of a slimmer
silhouette in less time that it took you to polish off that pumpkin
cheesecake!
Monochromatic
Everyone
tends to reach for the all black outfit to melt away the pounds. There
is truth in this age old trick, dark colors are visually slimming,
especially when the same color is worn head to toe. However, a little
known fact is that most colors, when worn head to toe have the same
slimming effect. The trick is to create one long fluid line which keeps
the eye moving up and down your frame, not drawing attention to any
specific part of the body and thus visually lengthening and slimming
your frame. So if you feel bored with all black everything, then reach
for head to toe white, navy, grey or virtually any other complexion
flattering neutral to whittle away the pounds in seconds.
Spanx
Forget
diamonds, Spanx are a woman’s best friend, and with good reason. Spanx
shapewear brings you in and smoothes your figure. It takes more than
savvy marketing to become the number one shape wear brand in the US and a
favorite of celebrities from Oprah to Gwyneth Paltrow and virtually
everyone in between. With tons of variations and comfortable nylon
fabrication the slims and smoothes it’s your ace in the hole
Empire Waist
This
silhouette looks flattering on virtually every body type. Empire waist
tops and dresses are characterized by a raised waistline, higher than
the natural waistline. Many times the waistline can be as high as just
below the bust line. This elongates the frame in the same manner
monochromatic looks do, accentuating the bust line and then camouflaging
an ample midsection or thighs. So on those days when the Spanx stay in
the drawer, pull out an empire waist top or dress for a flattering
silhouette that camouflages your trouble spots.
Ah
the joys of fashion. Tons of tips and tricks to create the figure you
want with little effort. When life gets in the way, you can still look
the way you want.
