The first key to look thinner in your clothes is to keep your tops and bottoms in proportion. Regardless of the number on the scale happens to say today, there’s no need to hide under baggy clothes. Like fashion blogger Dawilda Gonzalez, choose a closer-fitting top if you’re wearing a draped skirt. If your shirt is on the slouchier side and you’re not wearing slim-fitting pants, leaving it un-tucked can make you look like you’re drowning in an oversized silhouette. Though it can be tempting to hide under baggy clothes, tucking in your shirt can actually accentuate your waist.

  1. Layer darker colors with lighter ones.

Smart layering is a great way to show off what you want and keep problem areas under wraps. Like fashion blogger Nicole Warne, maximize the slimming potential of your layers by wearing a darker blazer with a white button down shirt. You’ll not only stay warm but look smart too. Also, you may think of color blocked pieces that can flatter your frame accordingly.

Don’t be afraid of patterns. Vertical stripes are universally flattering as it can make you look slimmer than you actually are. If you’re bottom heavy, you might discard the brightly patterned leggings, and instead go for a pair of good patterned pants particularly in a darker color to camouflage your cellulites. The pattern rule you need to remember is to avoid wearing them on both top and bottom. That means if you’re wearing a patterned top, opt for a solid bottom in a darker color.

  1. When in doubt, go for a “V” neckline.
