6 Simple Ways To Look Slimmer

By the CSPS Team · October 15, 2015 · 2 min read

Would you like to look a little slimmer? While there is no substitute for a healthy diet and regular exercise, there are many simple ways to subtly improve your appearance and look your very best.

Here are a few tips to get you started.

1. Improve Your Posture

Something as simple as sitting or standing correctly can significantly improve your appearance.

  • Keep your shoulders relaxed, but back instead of hunched
  • Keep your chin up
  • When standing for a photo, bend a knee and face your body at a 45 degree angle
  • Keep your back straight, but not stiff

2. Invest In Shapewear

Shapewear slims you down, smooths out bulges, and lifts you in the most flattering ways. Invest in high-quality shapewear and wear it under pencil skirts, evening gowns, bodycon dresses, and any clingy clothing.

3. Lift Your Breasts

Sagging breasts make you look older and larger. Lifting your breasts can make your waist look slimmer. Start by investing in high quality push up bras that fit you well. If your breasts have become saggy due to age, or the side effects of pregnancy or breastfeeding, contact Cool Springs Plastic Surgery about a breast lift.

4. Wear Solid Dark Colors

Wearing solid dark colors is another quick and easy way to look slimmer. Black is classic, but if you want something more colorful, try a royal blue or deep purple. Wearing one solid color instead of breaking your body into blocks makes you look longer and leaner.

5. Choose Fitted Clothing

It can be tempting to wear oversized clothing when you’re feeling chubby, but slim clothing that fits you well is the most flattering. If you want to wear a loose top, consider pairing it with a crisp jacket to add definition and lean lines.

6. Lengthen Your Legs With Nude Heels

Nude heels match almost everything and they give you longer, leaner looking legs. Invest in a pair you love. If you don’t like nude heels, heels in general will still give you a slimmer, longer look and help you maintain correct posture.
