The path to your dream figure begins with the right styling. The right clothing and shoes can not only hide problem areas, but also make you look taller and slimmer. With these fashion tricks, a self-confident appearance is guaranteed - because they'll instantly shed a few kilos!
Look taller and slimmer: the right shoes
Whether platform shoes, ankle boots with block heels or classic pumps: high heels can stretch not only the legs, but the entire silhouette. In addition, high shoes promote an upright posture, which of course also stretches the figure. And the best thing: There are now many different models of high heels that not only look good, but are also extremely comfortable and suitable for everyday use. Our tip: 5 cm heels can also achieve the desired effect.
Styling tip: No baggy clothing
Many women try to hide their problem areas with baggy clothing. But oversized T-shirts and baggy pants with extra-wide legs are not a good idea. An outfit like this can actually have the opposite effect and even make you look fatter and shorter. It's best to combine a tight garment with an airy one. For example – pairing a figure-flattering blouse with a maxi skirt. Wrap dresses are your fashion secret weapon.
High-waisted trousers hide your stomach
Pants, jeans and skirts with a high waistband (the so-called high-waist garments) visually stretch the legs. The right leg length can also achieve a similar effect. Ideally, the pants should just cover the shoes, but not reach to the floor. Tolong legscan have the opposite effect and look unflattering on short women.
Our tip: You should definitely avoid capri pants or cropped jeans. They make the legs look shorter and only look good on women with long and slim legs.
Solid color outfits make you look taller and slimmer
If you only wear one color from head to toe, you're doing it right. Solid color outfits instantly make you look slimmer and taller. But monochrome outfits or ombre clothing, where you wear a lighter shade on top and a darker shade on the bottom, also look great.
Our tip: Avoid accessories such as belts or belt bags that draw attention to the waist. You should also avoid clothing with contrasting seams or accents at the waist.
By the way, there are a few patterns that can also cheat off a few kilos. These include vertical stripes, Viennese seams and princess seams can also make you look slimmer.
Small or large handbag: which is better?
Many women try to “hide” behind a large handbag. In fact, a small to medium-sized handbag actually suits them better and can ensure a stylish appearance.
Our tip: The handbag should not be worn directly on the hips, as it can then draw additional attention to this problem area.
These shoe colors conjure up long legs
Hard to believe, but true: even the color of the shoe plays an important role and can help to visually elongate the silhouette. Shoes with pointed toes look particularly good. In autumn, the ankle boots and shoes should be color coordinated with the trousers or skirt (brown trousers, brown or black shoes). In spring and summer you can choose a nude shade that matches your skin tone.
Blouses and dresses with a V-neck make you slimmer
The V-neck visually stretches the upper body and draws attention to the décolleté. High-necked blouses, models with shoulder pads and short sleeves, on the other hand, make the shoulders appear even wider and show off the stomach and hips. The silhouette can quickly appear bulky.
Our tip: Puffed sleeves emphasize the shoulder area and make the upper arms look thicker. Models with half-length sleeves look best.
A bandana or scarf can stretch the silhouette
It's not just the right clothes that can make you look taller and slimmer. Accessories can also achieve a similar effect. The binding technique plays an important role in the final result. The classic loop and the Nobless wrapping technique are recommended for short women. The “butterfly” and “stole” tying techniques make the shoulders and neck appear wider.
A long coat makes you look taller and slimmer
A long coat not only provides better protection against wind and cold in winter. It is also a real slimming agent and can make you appear taller. Of course the cut plays a crucial rolerole in styling. Try different models to find the one that suits you. A trench coat with a belt or a coat with a straight cut look best on smaller women. Puffer coats, on the other hand, are rather unsuitable.
Have clothing items altered
It is not always possible to find suitable clothing. For example, if the trousers are too long – have them shortened by a tailor. Sometimes even small changes can have a big impact.
Our tip: Always wear a suitable bra and practice an upright posture. This means the clothes will look even better on you.
