It almost sounds too good to be true. But guess what, it is literally possible! If you think that exercising is the only way for you to look slimmer, then definitely you are wrong. Wearing the proper outfit can make you appear as though you are 10 pounds lighter!
Clothes can create illusions to the physique of the wearer. It can give the appearance of looking thinner, but it can also give the appearance of looking heavier. Wear the correct clothes with the
right fashion is one tested-and-proven solution to a weight problem. In order to learn how to dress slimmer, you must know the men fashion styles to avoid and follow. The following are tips for you so that the next time you put on an outfit, you know you do not put more pounds but rather appear to lose weight.
1. Color
Choose dark colors like the all-time favorite black. Unlike bright colors, dark colors give an impression of compactness, giving the wearer a leaner figure. Other dark colors that may also be used by men are gray and navy blue.
2. Plains
It is trendily wise to wear the same solid color from top to bottom. A monochromatic color helps creates an illusion of length and prevents your body from looking fragmented.
3. Prints
Stripes. – Avoid horizontal stripes. Go for vertical stripes because they draw the eyes downwards, making you look longer and thinner. The thinner the stripes, the better.
Patterns. – Do not wear clothes with big patterns. Choose small patterns that are close to each other or overlap. Big patters create an illusion of width and could be very unflattering on a full-shaped man.
4. Fit
Wear clothes that fit you best – not too tight, not too loose. Remember than tight clothes will emphasize your bulges while loose clothes make you appear heavy and wide. Clothes will only flatter you if they fit you right.
5. Texture
Avoid fabrics that are shiny like satin. They outline the problem areas by creating darker shades on the fabric.
6. Shirts & Jackets:
Collars. – Collars that make men look fatter are those that cover the length of the neck like turtlenecks. Flattering collars scoop necklines such as v-necks and round necks. It is because an exposed neck makes your face look smaller. In this same theory, in cases of buttoned shirts, do not button the first one or two buttons from the neck.
Jackets. – Jackets can make one trimmer because it takes interest away from what’s underneath it. The trick is to choose a jacket that is single-breasted because a double-breasted jacket makes the eye focus at the center. You can choose from leaving the buttons of the jacket unfastened of fastening all even the bottom. However, when fastening the last button will noticeably pull the fabric, it must be left unbuttoned as it can emphasize your wide midpoint.
7. Pants: Jeans and Slacks
Wear mid-rise pants, one which is between high-waisted and low-waisted pants. Either high-waisted or low-waisted pants can stress your tummy bulges. Tapered pants are absolutely a no-no. If your midsection is wide, narrow-legged pants can give you an unflattering cone-shaped lower body. Lastly, keep in mind that pockets and pleats will only draw attention to your tummy while side or back zippers and flat fronts can hide the fat away. Custom made jeans can make finding the right fit easier.
8. Accessories
Belts. – Always use a belt as it will hold your waistline and make it appear slimmer. It also helps your trouser hang properly. But be careful not to tighten the belt to much because it might outline your bulges.
Bags. – If you are uncomfortable with your belly and it seems to stick out from a side angle, you can shield it with your bag while walking or standing. Never hang a sling bag from one shoulder to the opposite side because the sling will define the curve of your belly.
In buying clothes, never fall victim to fashion trends. Accept that not every kind of design will suit you. Only buy those which can give emphasize to your plus points. The secret to dress slimmer is knowing your assets and your flaws. Once you know which to show off and which to conceal, looking good is easy. The next time you go out, keep the above tips in mind and rest assured, you will never look fat in any outfit again because you know how to dress slimmer.
Although easy as it may seem, an attempt to dress slimmer may be difficult for some especially with off the rack clothing. Another solution is to try custom made clothing. Only a custom-made clothing can give you the perfect fit and accentuate your best parts and hide your problem areas.
