We cannot all be super models weighing 12 pounds. Most of us have to deal with that thing called life, which can do real damage to any diet. If you are a full figured woman like I am, there are ways to enhance yourself with outfits.
To get that tall and thinner look, we need to really bear down in two areas. The two areas of focus are the colors we use and the type of clothing we go with. Get them just right and the appropriate look can be achieved. Mess them up, and the opposite can happen.
There are many different ways of achieving a look when it comes to fashion. In our effort to look taller and thinner, we want to focus on one word. Verticality. The more vertical your look, the thinner and taller you will appear.
Color goes a long way to creating a look. With your outfits, a lack of color is the best starting point. We are talking black or dark blue from head to toe as the starting point. You can add color and accessorize later, but this is our starting point.
You can then add color to the outfit by wearing a colored blazer or sweater over your shoulder. This brings a bit of color into the look, but maintains the vertical lines of the outfit, which maintain the taller and thinner look.
Accessorizing is a great way to bring life to the outfit. You want to keep the vertical theme, however. A great way to do this is with a long scarf. Give it a wrap around the neck and let it hang. It will really emphasize the vertical look.
As a full figured woman, I have a thing for large, thick belts. If you are the same way, keep in mind such belts conflict with efforts to look taller and thinner. They tend to draw attention and defeat the look. Go with something thin.
For many women, the thought of wearing a skirt when trying to look thinner is an iffy proposition. It can work. The key is to go with a bit of a longer skirt. Make sure to take an objective look in the mirror.
Topping off our outfit will be the shoes. Shoes can make or break a look. In this case, however, they can literally help us look taller. Yes, I am talking about high heels. Go has high and thin as you can.
Stripes are a word that can draw hisses from full figured women. In general, they do not make one look more petite. Certain outfits that have thinner vertical stripes, however, can. Horizontal stripes? Forget about them.
Looking your best is important. If you are trying for a thinner look, following the tips mentioned above will help you get that look you want.
