How To Dress Slim & Trim


When you are wearing the right clothes that work for you, it shows. You should always dress to look your best and there are certain pieces of clothing and accessories that can make you look slim and trim (even if you're not). "Embracing the right fit for your body makes your inner beauty shine through." I will list 11 great things to wear to boost your confidence and slim your body type.
1. Opaque Tights-I know you think the trend is the nude leg but nothing makes you look better and slimmer that a good pair of black or colorful opaque tights. They are easy to find and cheap!
2. Cardigan Sweater-A great cardigan is fantastic to put over a sleeveless sheathe dress. It hides those unsightly arms and instantly slims you. I like cardigans in every shade of the rainbow to put over blouses, t-shirts, or cami's.
3. Tailored Blazer-Nothing pulls an outfit better that a jacket. There are some cute military style jackets that are so stylish and flattering. Jackets come in leather, tweed, wool, cotton, etc...
4. Wide Belt-To add flair and polish wear a cute belt worn a little above your natural waist.
5. Pencil Skirt-This is a MUST if you want a piece of clothing that slims and trims in all the right places. I prefer one that has some spandex or latex in the fabric content to stretch a bit.
6. Boot Cut Jeans-Try to find a dark denim that has some stretch to if the is a straight cut from thigh to ankle.
7. Pumps-Need I say any more!!! Pumps are my best friend. They are elegant, easy to buy, easy to put on and they come in every imaginable color and fabric.
8. V-Neck Tops-You usually have many options on tops, but the V-neck elongates the face and makes you appear slimmer. Don't go for the crew neck top or t-shirt.
9. Shape Wear-Spanx is definitely my favorite but you can buy any less expensive type of pull on shape wear that hides all the bumps and flaws.
10. Knee-High Boots-These look great with dresses, skirts, ankle pants, and more. I like the ones you can get at Target for under $40.00.
11. Navy Blue or Black-Any thing in these two colors makes you look slimmer. Navy is the universal color--everyone I know looks good in navy. I can't say enough about my love of navy!
