1. Buy a new bra: When was the last time you were measured for a bra? Over 85% of us are walking around with the wrong size and this can make your breasts look lower than they should be. Keep the girls happy with the right support and your torso will look leaner.
2. Invest In Shapewear: This option is not for everyone. If you are all about the miracle known as Spanx but hate how hot they are in the summer try Skinny Britches. This new line from Spanx offers an ultra sheer alternative perfect for the summer heat.
3. Play With Color: Wearing all black in the summer will not make you look thinner; crazy maybe but not thin. Try adding color in a way to play up your assets. For example, if you have wide hips and thighs wear a dark navy pencil skirt and a bright pink cardigan.
4. Show Off Your Legs: Summer is not a season for leggings, so take a few steps to show off your legs the right way. Shave or wax, whatever your preference, and do the maintenance to keep the smoothness. You can nix paleness and cover veins with a sunless tanner or bronzer and then just add nude heels that blend into your skin tone to add the illusion of longer legs.
5. Wear a V-Neck Top: This simple downward diamond shape elongates and narrows so you don't have a cutoff point, which gives the illusion of extra inches. Also, with this look remember the importance of a good moisturizing lotion to get rid of dry skin and the appearance of fine lines.
While all of these items will help you look thinner, here are a few items in your closet that may be making you look bigger than you are:
Sleeveless shirts
Oversized T-Shirts
Capris (if you have cankles)
Gladiator sandals or any shoes that cut you off at the ankle
Shorts & Boy Shorts Swim Suits
Metalic Swimwear or shiny Satin Skirts (they accentuate every bulge)
Ladies, you now have the power to look like you've lost a few pounds by tonight; use it well.
