Clothes that slim
High-waisted jeans
There’s nothing like high-waisted jeans to lengthen the legs and emphasize the waist, it’s THE cut to go for when you’re looking to appear slimmer through clothing .
Depending on your body type and your desires, it’s up to you to see if you prefer your high-waisted jeans to be straight jeans (cigarette cut), mom jeans, wide jeans, bell-bottom jeans (very fashionable at the moment). )… The important thing is that it closes above your navel and that you are comfortable in it .
When it comes to colors, anything goes! If we have long harped on the fact that it is absolutely necessary to wear dark colors to refine your silhouette, this speech no longer has any value. Also, choose the color of jeans that you like and that you can wear as often as you want, regardless of whether they are raw, white, beige, pink or green jeans (by the way, the colorful jeans are super trendy this season)!
High-waisted wide-leg pants
Still in the bottom and high waist section, we ask for wide pants! Loose from the waist to the feet or fitted on the thighs like the palazzo, high-waisted wide pants are a must-have when looking for slimming clothes.
Just like high-waisted jeans, they emphasize the waist and lengthen the legs, while highlighting the curves of the hips and buttocks (especially palazzo pants), in short, we love them!
Depending on the material and color, high-waisted wide pants can be more or less dressy, and can be worn on special occasions such as a wedding, a birthday, etc. It is a versatile piece, ideal in a dressing room.
The wrap dress
The wrap dress, or wrap dress, is one of those rare clothes that flatters all body types.
Thanks to its particular shape, it highlights the neckline and gracefully highlights the waist, which has the immediate effect of lengthening the silhouette and slimming it .
Ultra-popular, the wrap dress comes in a multitude of colors, patterns, materials and styles (length of the dress, depth of the neckline, type of sleeves, etc.), so everyone will find their dream dress!
By the way, note that the wrap cut is perfect if you are looking for “the” little black dress!
The V-neck top
In the tops department, whether it’s a cotton t-shirt, a blouse, a blouse or a tunic, it’s the V-neck that you should aim for if you’re looking for a top that slims .
This form of collar is in fact the most effective for lengthening the bust. Not only does it highlight the chest but, through the contrast effect between the fabric and the skin, it refines the bust and generally lengthens the silhouette.
Tips to know for creating slimming outfits
Beyond the cuts of clothing, the way in which we combine them with each other is also essential when we seek to slim down our figure thanks to our looks . Here are some tips you absolutely need to know!
The monochrome look
Whether royal blue, fuchsia pink, white, green, yellow or dark, the monochrome look is formidable for visually refining a silhouette. By wearing a single color from head to toe, you create a strong impression of verticality and, therefore, finesse.
Unstoppable.
Vertical stripes
By playing on the same optical illusions as monochrome, vertical stripes, wide or thin, very effectively elongate the silhouette, making this pattern the most slimming there is .
The must ? A jumpsuit or a dress with contrasting vertical stripes: you will be amazed by the slimming effect!
Know how to play with colors
Finally, learn to play with colors to create slimming outfits ! Generally speaking, the lightest and brightest colors should be worn on the areas you want to highlight, and the darkest or most neutral colors (gray, beige, dark blue, black, etc.), on the parts of your body that you want to refine.
For example, if you want to refine your bust, opt for a navy blue wrap blouse, V-neck of course, worn over high-waisted light blue jeans.
You can also follow this rule to choose your accessories : an orange necklace will draw the eye to your neckline, distracting it from your stomach for example.
The mistake to avoid when you want to refine your figure thanks to clothes
The worst mistake you can make when trying to look slimmer through clothing is choosing pieces that are too big and/or shapeless. Contrary to what we imagine, the fact of not perceiving the lines of the body does not refine the silhouette at all, in fact it is quite the opposite !
