Not only black: 5 non-obvious colors in clothes that visually slim you down

Colors in clothing can imitate optical illusions. Dark colors (black, navy, dark khaki, etc.) absorb light, which makes you look slimmer. Light colors (white, pastel colors, and overly bright shades) reflect light, which makes them appear larger.

This can be used if you want to adjust the parameters of the figure. In the OBOZREVATEL article, we talk about the colors of outfits that stretch the silhouette and mask excess.

1. Emerald green

A bright, yet calm color. It is associated with luxury, adds an accent to the image, and also visually slims you down. Silhouette outfits that emphasize the curves of the body look especially impressive. Emerald is best combined with neutral gray, black or white.

2. True Red by Pantone

This is a classic neutral color that "removes volume" as well as black. It is neither cold nor warm. It suits women of any color type and any age. We recommend wearing dresses or suits in True Red. This will create a total look that will visually make you taller.

3. Navy blue

Navy blue can be called the second color after black that removes excess volume. The deep shade is suitable for all skin tones and will be appropriate for both everyday looks and special occasions.

4. Chocolate

Chocolate is not as "heavy" as black. It makes the image more non-trivial. It is an ideal shade for suits, silhouette dresses and loose-fitting T-shirts. It can be used as the main color or diluted with contrasting tones, combined with a palette of browns from mocha to caramel.

5. Fuchsia

We're sure you didn't expect to see pink on this list. Fuchsia not only makes the look interesting, but also slightly adjusts the silhouette. This shade is best combined with accessories of muted colors. Ideal pair: green, gray, black, purple, white.
