Choose neutral tones over brighter tones. Neutral colors tend to be more slimming than bright tones and prints. Start with basics like white, black, khaki, navy and gray and add pops of color in accents and accessories.
Heeled sandals elongate legs. A nice pair of wedge sandals or strappy heeled shoes can help make you taller which will make your legs look longer and leaner. Perfect to go with your favorite pair of cropped or capri pants, sun dress or even shorts. A great pair of heels is one of the best things you can add to your slimming summer wardrobe.
V-Neck styles camouflage larger chests. One thing that helps make a larger chest a bit less noticeable is a v-neck style shirt or dress. Not the deep plunging v-neck, but a classic basic v-neck that flatters your curves without exposing you.
Use statement jewelry to draw attention to your face. Sometimes using a nice bold piece of jewelry can draw attention to your face and your favorite features. Necklaces, earrings and scarves area great ways to draw attention to your face and help to make you look slimmer.
