Dear Fashion Kitty, Dressing to Look Slimmer

What can a girl wear to look slimmer?

Wonderful question! Almost every girl out there would look to look a bit slimmer in her clothes. I do have some tips for you that will make you look and feel slimmer.

1.) What you wear under your clothes matters! You have to start with a good foundation to look your best in your clothes. A good place to start is with your bra. You have probably heard this one a thousand times but a great fitting bra can take 10 lbs off your frame. Go get fitted, I did and you will be shocked at how wrong you were about your bra size.

Another tip that works and that celebs swear by is Spanx. I love my Spanx, its the perfect undergarment for smoothing and slimming. There are other options besides Spanx, in fact there is a whole world of body slimmers out there. I wouldn’t wear them on a regular basis, but for special events these will be your best friend.

2.) Monocromatic ensembles: Dressing in one color (black is always a great choice) will give you a nice sleek looking bod. When you have too many colors going on it breaks up your body, which makes you look bigger.
3.) Show off your best parts and hide the not so great parts. If you have tiny waist wear clothes that nip in at the waist to show it off. If you have a killer rack, go with a v-neck. Great legs? Hike up that hemline. When people see your best asset, they will ignore the not so great, giving you a slimmer look overall.

4.) Get some good jeans. I find that I look my slimmest in jeans. Reserve an afternoon for jean shopping and get the sales girl to help you. Finding jeans that fit your body will do wonders. Seriously.

5.) Wear heels!!!! I can’t stress this one enough. Heels adds some height and will make you look slimmer. Works everytime. The higher the better (as long as you can walk in them.)

Kittens, if you have tips, I would love to hear them! Just drop them in the comments box.
