Avoid oversized outfits
Although it might seem logical to hide behind oversized outfits to make yourself look slimmer it actually does the opposite. It makes your body look shapeless and larger than it actually is. The idea is to wear outfits that fit your body and are neither too tight nor too loose.
Wear plain jeans
Wearing jeans with patchy fading can draw attention to unwanted areas. The best option is to search for a smoother, even-toned wash. Wearing plain dark denim or black jeans can make your body look better.
Wear High-Waisted Bottoms if You Carry Your Weight Low
Crop tops are great for women who carry less weight around their stomach. Wearing one can make bring more emphasis on the waist. Wear them with a high-waisted skirt or pant. Creating a waist is key to any body shape. If you’re wearing a pencil skirt then you want to make sure the length at the bottom goes below your knee.
Wear Belts with any outfits
A belt is the best piece of clothing that can bring focus on your waist. It can create a natural waistline on any outfit. Even on a long dress try putting on a belt and wear it around the narrowest part of your body. Wider belts are better, as they cinch more of your waist and give you a good shape.
Wear Cross-Body Clothes to Create Curves
One of the easiest ways to create a waist is to wear cross-body clothes. Cross-body clothes that drape naturally across the midsection can give you a flattering hourglass shape. Cross-body draping works to create curves through the midsection and is a great outfit choice for curvy women.
Try tucking in your shirt
If you’re a short girl then you might want to tuck in your shirt to create a slimmer look down the middle. And if you’re wearing boyfriend jeans then a fitted, tucked-in shirt is a good contrast for a cleaner look.
Wear the right material
One of the things you want to pay attention to is the material of your clothing. You want to avoid clothing that is too tight that it makes you uncomfortable or too loose that make you look bigger. You also want to skip pants that bunch at the bottom. Any excess baggage around your ankles can make you look shorter. Try wearing cotton instead of polyester during the summer season.
Wear solid colors and vertical stripes
If you have a curvy body you always want to wear solid color clothing. Single toned dress, especially in darker hues, are great. You also want to wear vertical stripes to give you that elongated look. Horizontal lines make your body wider and subconsciously make you look shorter. Also if you’re going for different patterns then go for smaller designs rather than large ones. A monotone outfit can give you that ever-flowing look from top to bottom.
