Your figure and you are perfect. Accepting your shape, even if you don't think it's perfect, is the first and foremost step to looking stylish and impressive. And small flaws can always be corrected with the right clothes.

OBOZREVATEL has compiled 10 effective rules that ladies who want to look slimmer should follow. And it's not just about the ban on horizontal striped dresses (although this is also important), but also about correct posture and the selection of quality underwear.

1. Layering

Often people think that increasing the number of layers of clothing means increasing the number of extra pounds. This is a myth, and layered looks have long proven to be effective in "hiding" unwanted inches. Adding layers gives your body definition.

2. Black is your best friend

This does not mean that your entire wardrobe should be black. Many people do not like gloomy shades at all. But believe me, black perfectly fulfils its function of "visual volume reduction", and besides, it always looks noble and appropriate.

3. Tightening clothes

If you urgently need to "equip" yourself for an important event, then corsets, shapewear, bicycles and other clothes with a shaping effect are your must-have. Adding such items to your wardrobe is a smart investment that you will never regret.

4. High-rise jeans

High-waisted jeans should be on your hit list because they tighten up most of the flab and make you look slim, tall and sophisticated. That's because the waistband of these jeans is located above the natural waistline. This can create the appearance of a longer and slimmer silhouette, as well as provide support for the abdominal and back muscles. In addition, high-waisted jeans help to lengthen the legs, which further contributes to a slimmer figure. It is important to choose a pair that fits well and is comfortable to wear.

5. No one sees it, but it is very important - underwear

Don't wear loose bras or thongs that draw attention to your bulges. Choose bras that provide full coverage, and as for panties, they should be stretchy and high rise to hide flab and sides.

6. Accessories

Wear expressive jewellery and complement your look with details such as a necklace, earrings, scarf, bandana, watch, etc. They will shift the focus of attention from the "imperfections" of the figure or skin to yourself. Also pay attention to dark and massive belts or thin ones that tighten at the waist.

7. Prints and patterns

Avoid anything with horizontal prints, whether large or small stripes. But dresses with a vertical print and a plunging neckline are your ideal option to help you look slimmer and taller. Give preference to styles with A-line silhouettes.

8. Top + skirt - a winning combination

Very often, the separation of the top and bottom of your outfit, for example, into a skirt and a top, looks very successful. It creates a clear line at the waist, which makes your figure look like a beautiful hourglass with moderately voluminous hips and a harmonious top.

9. Proportions

If you wear a narrow top, the bottom should be wide and loose, and if you choose an oversized jacket or a voluminous sweater, it is better to combine narrow trousers with them.

10. Posture

Last but not least, everything will go to waste if you don't have the right posture. Your silhouette largely depends on it. Among other things, it is also your health, so pay special attention to it.
