Do you find yourself among the curvy women and would you like to discover many secrets on how to slim your figure? Don’t worry, there are many ways to look thinner, just wear the right clothes and accessories.
So let’s see what strategies to adopt:
USE VERTICAL AND DIAGONAL LINES
– first of all, vertical and/or diagonal lines , whether drawn or hinted at as pleats in trousers, drapes on clothes ; they are an excellent trick to slim and make a figure look vertical, perfect for example for trousers with a central pleat and without pockets, or pinstriped trousers;
WEAR AN OPEN CARDIGAN
– wear an open cardigan over a dress or sweater with trousers/skirt. This trick is also called colour block , or wearing those clothes with vertical stripes of colour on the sides, or clothes with strong colour combinations and geometric patterns that give the optical illusion of slimming the figure; it is possible to recreate this effect by using a cardigan over a dark dress or sweater/trousers outfit .
SIMPLE AND FLUID DRESS LINES
– use simple clothes, without too many applications : let’s always remember that the more details we add, the more volume the figure takes. It is better to stick to simple and linear models, no to lines that are too convoluted or too many applications (ruffles, ruffles, flounces) . The fabrics must follow the figure, sliding just a little softly, avoiding clothes that are too wide or one size too big; let’s choose carefully the size of the item to buy (neither too tight nor too loose).

V-NECKLINE
– the V-neck or diagonal woven neckline gives verticality to the face and the body in general, I remind you once again that vertical lines slim and elongate the figure, while each horizontal line breaks up the figure and widens it.
USE DARK COLORS
– dark colors optically narrow the body; it is not necessary to be tied to the usual black. There are many other shades of dark colors (green, brown, purple, blue, gray just to name a few), what is certain is that chromatically it is proven that dark colors make you retreat, and light colors widen. If we want color we can focus on accessories (jewelry, make-up, scarves, etc.).
SINGLE-COLOUR OUTFIT
– using a single-color look is strategic: that is, wearing the same color or similar shades (possibly dark, see previous point), without breaking it up , e.g. a dark shirt and trousers, or shirt and skirt, you can then use an overcoat (cardigan, jacket) in different and/or contrasting colors.
SHAPING LINES FOR UNDERWEAR
– let’s not forget underwear, there are excellent shaping lines in various underwear brands; they help to shape and contain the figure, and to have a better fit of the clothing items that we will wear above. There are girdles, shorts of various sizes, bodysuits and so on.
AVOID LEGGINGS
– Among these tips, this is a rather categorical no: in fact, leggings are an unflattering garment, often even for slim women, unless you have really slim and shapely legs! If you really love them, try wearing them with a maxi T-shirt, possibly with a belt at the waist that slims the center of gravity (if you have a fairly slim waist…).
MOVE YOUR GAZE TO THE BEAUTY SECTION
– last tip, let’s shift the attention and the gaze of others on one of our strong points : for example, if we have a rather robust physique but a beautiful face, let’s make it more evident by underlining it with skillful makeup, a well-done hairstyle or earrings. Or if we have thin wrists or ankles, let’s leave them uncovered and underline them with accessories (bracelets, ankle straps for shoes). As you will have seen, I have given you many secrets for curvy women and on how to slim the figure if you fall into this category.
