To dress yourself slim  DO

Choose deep colours. Black is the most slimming of all. But, don't be afraid to wear nice colours too Wear comfortable, low heels. Trousers should hang down to the middle of the heel Buy long cardigans or single-breasted jackets that fall below your hips Wear well-fitting softly-tailored shirts Choose monochromatic colours. Top and bottom clothing should be the same or similar colours Make your legs look longer, with knee-length skirts Wear earrings, necklaces, and scarves to draw attention upward to your face Choose shoes with a 2 inch heel to look taller and slimmer. If you're comfortable in higher heels they're good too

To dress yourself slim   DON 'T

Try to squeeze into a size 10 if you are a size 12. Don't try to fool yourself, you're not fooling anyone else Wear heavy fabrics, they will make you look fatter. Choose finer, silkier materials Choose shapeless, baggy clothing which will only make you appear heavier Wear horizontal stripes, which make you appear wider, instead consider vertical stripes, which make you look taller and slimmer Wear tight clothes: they only draw attention to problem areas Choose trousers, or skirts with pleats, elastic or drawstring waists which add to your waist size; look for flat-fronted trousers and skirts Choose floral prints or other large patterns Slouch and look sorry for yourself. Stand up straight and smile!
