Dress yourself slimmer this summer with these clever style tricks.
• Broaden narrow shoulders with a slash neckline top.
• Flatter upper arms — wear kimono sleeves, the fluid fabric will cover your arms while still being feminine.
• Wear patterns — a bigger pattern equals a slimmer figure.
• Wear cropped jackets — they elongate petite figures and accentuate a small waist
• Carry an oversize bag — this instantly makes you look slimmer. A crossover bag will widen a bigger tummy.
• Obi belts are perfect for a nipped in waist.
• Elongate your legs with high waisted shorts with vertical pleats and front pockets.
• A jumpsuit will add inches to your silhouette — wear it with wedges.
• Use colour blocking to break up a long silhouette. This is a huge trend this season. Mix up tops and bottoms.
• To elongate your legs, wear peep-toe and ankle strap-free heels.
• Asymmetric necklines will accentuate your shoulders and your décolletage.
• A long blazer will cover your hips and bum. Roll up the sleeves to show off slim forearms.
• High waisted trousers will flatter your legs and banish the muffin top.
• Flatter a full bust with wrapover necklines.
• A skirt that finishes at the widest part of your calf will flatter skinny legs.
