Look slimmer right away with these 10 tricks. Today, I’m sharing 10 tips, 10 style tricks to help you look instantly slimmer, and they all work. Before I dive into those 10 tips, I wanna say that there is no reason why any of us need to look slimmer.

Own your body, own your curvy body, own your curves. All of that is beautiful, every size is beautiful, every type is beautiful. I am merely offering suggestions so that if you are interested in one day trying to look a little slimmer or a little taller, these tips can really make a difference if that’s what you want.

Dark Wash Jeans

The first way and probably one of the most powerful ways that you can look slimmer instantly is to wear dark wash jeans. The light wash jeans don’t make you look quite as slim and tall a the dark wash jeans. So, if that is the goal, definitely go with the dark wash jeans, and the darker, the better, and also, the less whiskering, fading, and distressing, the better. That will elongate you even more.

High Rise Jeans

The second way to dress slimmer is to wear high-rise jeans. If you’re wearing something fitted it created a little bit of bulk and a lump around the waistband. So, it’s not smooth. If you’re going to wear something fitted on the top, I highly recommend wearing something with a higher rise ’cause that will make everything look neater and tighter, and no lumps and bumps will show.

It’s smoother, and it’s just gonna make you feel more secure ’cause it’s all sucked in there, you know what I mean? So, even if you don’t have a tummy you could be like me with all that loose baby skin and a tiny tummy, it just looks neater and smoother on your clothes. And just personally, I feel so much better with a higher rise jean.

So, when you’re looking at jeans and you’re like, well, which jean has a high rise? ‘Cause it doesn’t always say. Sometimes you can delineate by high rise, but what I look for is at least a nine-inch inseam and nine-inch rise. That’s a high rise. Anything from nine to 10, 10 and a half, super high. Good, belly button high. That’s what you want.

Cinch

My next tip is to cinch it! By cinching it, I mean accentuating your waist. When you wear something that is all over volume. If I really wanna look slimmer and create more of that hourglass shape that we all covet and want, adding a belt is something really simple that I can do to cinch that dress. Take in some of that fabric, highlight a tinier part of my body, and make it so much more flattering, figure-flattering, and slimming. And it’s just a belt. It’s so simple!

Flare Jeans

Next, I wanna talk about the power of the flare jeans, the wide-leg jeans, the fit and flare jeans, whatever you wanna call them. They will make you look like you are five inches taller, and you’re longer, and you’re slimmer. They are a magic trick basically, a visual magic trick. I love them and I know that we’ve been in the skinny zone with jeans for a long time.

Flares, wide legs are definitely making a comeback. I’m seeing them more and more. I think it’s a slow build, but it’s there. So, if you wanna wear them, have at it. Very modern and very figure-flattering, very elongating, very slimming. And when you throw on a wedge under those flare jeans, wow, legs for days. So, if you wanna create that long, lean, slim, trim look, definitely a fit and flare jean is your friend for sure.

Heels

The next trick to help you look slimmer, longer, taller is to wear heels. This is like ooh, whoa, no brainer, right? But it’s one of those things that’s worth repeating, and I’m gonna show you how dramatic it really can be. I look much longer and taller with the pointed toe, black pump instead of the flat. I feel like that effect is exaggerated even more when you wear skirts and dresses.

Pointed-Toe Shoes

Along those lines, another tip I wanted to share with you guys is to wear pointed-toe shoes. The pointed toe, the shape of that toe, creates the illusion of more length, taller, longer, slimmer. And then when you pair that with a similar color tone pant or a similar
color tone skirt, dress, you’re gonna look incredibly tall, and long, and slim. So, don’t forget about the power not only of heels but of the pointed-toe pumps and the pointed-toe heels.

Solid Colors

The next tip I wanna share with you guys is about prints. Wear solid colors. If you want to look slim and trim or slimmer and trimmer, wear solid colors instead of prints. Of course, we’re gonna wear prints. I love prints, but where you place prints is very important. So, if you are trying to make your lower body look slimmer, do not put a print on your lower body. Put something solid.

If you really wanna go all out, you can do all one color from head to toe. The beautiful thing is any color from head to toe is going to be elongating and slimming. Darker colors are going to have more of a slimming effect because they’re darker. So, colors like black like this suit, navy, burgundies, browns, anything that’s dark, charcoal gray, those are all gonna be more slimming than let’s say, whites and pastels.

But those solid colors from head to toe still have that elongating and slimming effect. So, you can do a beautiful beige from head to toe or a beautiful white from head to toe, and that will create still a long, lean effect.

V-neck

The next tip I wanna share is to wear a V-neck. So, crew neck is something that usually falls to about right here, about your collarbone, and it’s just a very small half-circle here. It’s a beautiful neckline, but what happens is it’s not quite as elongating on that upper body, and it’s especially problematic from you’re particularly busty. It will make you look even bustier. So, if the goal is to minimize and to look slimmer and elongate, then definitely do a V-neck line. It will for sure elongate that upper body, minimize that bust, and make you look longer and leaner.

Vertical Stripes, Pinstripes

The next tip I wanna share that will help you look slimmer is to wear vertical stripes, pinstripes. The reason vertical stripes work is that there are lines this way, and it creates that long, lean line. So, it’s a really cool menswear-inspired print. It also makes you look longer and taller, so it’s a win-win for sure. So, when you’re thinking about really creating that super long, lean line, you could do pinstripe pants, you could do a pinstripe suit.

You could even do a stripe down the side of your jeans which are really popular and hot right now. That often creates a visual illusion of fewer inches on your leg. It sort of cheats in the leg a little bit and that is very flattering, too. So, if you don’t wanna go pinstripes, you could try just those racing stripes down the side of your jeans. That has a very similar effect.

Long Necklaces

The last tip I wanna share with you guys is to wear long necklaces and just generally be strategic with your jewelry. The long necklace, the pendant necklace, has the power to elongate just like a V-neck line does. It’s a really simple, easy way to just add some length to your body and add that slimming effect. It’s really quick and simple. Some of you may have some issues with the long necklace.

If you’re particularly busty, you don’t want it to look like they’re just hanging off the shelf, but if you don’t have that issue, I do think that’s a great look. And it is, again, just a very simple way to create that long, lean torso. And then other things to think about with your jewelry is wherever you place it is where the eye is going to go.

Contouring

And as per usual, I have some bonus tips for you guys. So, if you’re worried about a puffy face or a round face, you can always do contouring, especially here, along the cheekbone. You do the fishy face, and then you contour here, contour around here. You can contour the nose and then you can contour the jawline.

That will make a rounder face look more chiseled and look more slim, especially here along the jawline. That’s if you’ve got a little bit of a double chin, you can do that, just some contouring here and here. So, that’s a quick and simple thing you can do just to create that illusion of being a bit slimmer.

Vanishing Back Bra

Also, I would highly recommend trying a bra that banishes back fat like the Soma Vanishing Back Bra. It really works. I have one, I’ve tried it, I’ve reviewed it on the blog. It has a different back to it, and the way that it falls, it does not catch the skin or the fat on your back. So, it just keeps everything nice and smooth in the back. So, I think that’s a great investment and it’s a nice bra to have.

Shapewear

The last thing I just wanna talk about is shapewear. Of course, we’ve got that at our disposal, so why not use it? I really prefer to do a shapewear skirt or an Underbust Spanx shorts or the Underbust Spanx. I think both are awesome. The benefit of the skirt is that you don’t have to worry about the bathroom situation, but you could also do a tank with tummy control, any kind of shapewear that you wanna use, especially if you’re wearing something very clingy and fitted.

It’s really nice to smooth out those lumps and bumps, and again, just look like you’ve lost 10 pounds, five to 10 pounds, and you’ve done nothing, no diet or exercise. You just have on your Spanx, and man, if you gotta double down, double down.  You gotta do what you gotta do. Throw that shapewear on and you’re super confident walking out the door.
