January Image eTip - Dressing Slim
Regardless of your current weight, here are a few tricks of the trade that can visually slim your appearance without going to the gym!
- Never draw attention to a trouble spot with buttons, pockets or other details.
- Vertical lines and features like darts will make you look taller and slimmer.
- Horizontal lines, including stripes and high contrast tops and bottoms, will make you look shorter and wider.
- Diagonal lines are slimming, men - use them in tie patterns, women - consider a wrap dress.
- Wear patterns that are consistent with your bone structure. A small print on a large bone structure is not complementary.
- Bright colors advance and dark colors recede.
- Similarly, matte textures absorb light, shiny textures reflect it.
When in doubt, take it off.
