The farther you are from the floor the skinnier you’ll look. Make your legs look longer and leaner with pointy toe pumps. A slender toe and thin heel can work wonders when it comes to drawing attention to your calves. On the other hand, square-toe styles with a broad can make you look shorter and make your legs look fat.

Use your jewellery wisely

Long length necklaces add length to a short neck, If you’re heavy on the arms, sparkly hand cuffs or bangles are a good idea to instantly draw attention to your wrists. Also, such accessories add glam to a simple, plain outfit.

Go for a fake tan

A faint glow makes a lot of difference when you want to look slimmer or define your existing features. A tan spray can make your legs, arms and shoulders look much more skinny and give your skin a natural shine.

Go for a skinny belt around the waist to cover any flab. You can also go for a broad belt if you have fat mostly on the sides of your waist.

Go for colour blocking or cut out designs

While choosing a dress, go for an hourglass shape as it gives an illusion of a thinner waist. You can also wear contrasting colours or pair your outfit with a pop-coloured tote bag to draw attention elsewhere.

Give high waist pants a chance
