5 Tricks To Look Slimmer With Clothes

Here are five ways to use clothing to look slimmer.

Tip number one: wear black. Black clothing creates a streamlined silhouette, hides shadows cast by bulges or extra weight, and focuses attention to your face rather than areas you may feel self-conscious about.

Tip number two: wear a sport coat. A sport coat does a great job of hiding extra weight, especially in the chest and around the waist.

Tip number three: vertical lines, not horizontal. Vertical lines draw the eye up and down, creating the illusion of length and making you appear taller and slimmer, while horizontal lines draw the eye side to side, making you appear wider.

Tip number four: get rid of baggy clothing. Overly baggy clothing might be comfortable and hide extra weight well, but the overall effect makes you look bigger than you are which is why…

Tip number five: you need to wear clothing that fits you. Properly fitted clothing can help you look slimmer by highlighting your natural shape and avoiding unnecessary bulge.

Diet and exercise are the key before thinking of dressing up

I see fat people often take the last tip too far in the tight direction. If I had to choose between the two, I think I'd err on the side of loose fit than a fit that's too tight.

While I complitly agree with all of your tips.
I think however, wearing a black suit, Can be vert difficult to wear ar you can easly look like you are going to a funeral, or a CIA agent.

Agree with everything expect black. I’ve never been fooled by a fat person wearing black in my life. Of course the best solution is to diet and exercise, but this a a style channel, not fitness, and a short, so it’s not a big deal you didn’t mention that.
