Look leaner and longer in clothes and accessories that elongate your shapeTHE fact that a woman is on the plus side doesn't need to translate into wearing boring, shapeless outfits. While your body may stay the same, if you're lucky, you can put on clothes that can instantly add or subtract a few kilograms from your weight, giving the illusion of a slimmer look.Apart from hitting the gym or dieting, with these easy style strategies, you can learn how to accentuate your best assets, camouflage those trouble spots, and look seriously slimmer, feel sexier and more confident.Whether you are on your way to the office or out for a night on the town, it is important to know what shapes and styles are the most flattering for you. Here are the slimming style tricks.Suit yourself -A suit can make you sleeker, but only if the jacket is fitted and the pants are straight-legged.Tummy trimmer- Camouflage your mid-riff with a poncho or tunic top. Designed to be worn without tucking in, they give the illusion of a trimmer waistline.Bag it- Celebrities know this trick well. If you want to look smaller, stand next to something bigger. Make sure your bag is large enough. A bag that is too small will make you look big. Go for a bag with a long strap that will draw the eye downwards.Sheath structure- A sleek sheath dress will provide enough structure for curvy women. Whether in traditional black or brighter colours, a plus-size woman looks structured, feels elegant and sexy in a form-fitting sheath dress.Colour-blocking - Graphic colours and designs minimize hips and thighs by putting long sections of darker colour on the outside and creating a lighter, brighter central section that streamlines the body. A colour-blocked dress is like an architectural piecework that balances a woman's figure, sculpting, carving and shaping every section.Tuxedo jackets-One of the best tools you can use to camouflage bulk is a bit of structure, which is exactly what at tuxedo jacket provides. The long, skinny lapels also have a slenderizing effect.Monochromatic black-It has been established that there is no better virtual weight-loss trick than simply wearing black head-to-toe. The key is to vary the texture of the pieces you put together: A black boucl blazer with a black cotton T-shirt, black denim skinny jeans and some black strappy wedges, for example. Black virtually slims out everyone, and reduces the appearance of belly fat, muffin tops, and love handles. Black can easily be dressed up with a nice coloured belt, jewellery or the perfect shoes.Sexy blazer- Just because they're called boyfriend blazers does not mean you should look like you're walking around wearing your man's suit jacket. The blazer should fit snugly when it is buttoned and not be boxy or oversized, which can make you look heavier. Ask the tailor to use the back or side seam to bring in any extra fabric around your torso.Accessorise - Big and beautiful accessories take attention away from basically everything else, so accessorise well. For example, if you have a nice waist, but still have a big tummy, use a wide black belt (or any other dark colour). Use dark colours for things you want to look smaller and light colours for thing you'd like to be bigger.Add inchesVertically speaking, a couple of added inches will naturally elongate your body and the longer your body looks, the leaner you will appear. A great way for achieving the long leggy look is to pair matching colours- like black wide-leg trousers or jeans with black heels, or bare legs with nude court shoes.
