Is any woman ever thin enough? I certainly am not. In the struggle to look that little bit thinner, I never exceed. Fortunately, I have learned how to hide those extra pounds through strategically putting an outfit together.

Can the outfit you wear really make you look thinner? Yes it can. The key is to use the right strategy to flaunt your assets and move the focus away from your deficits. Following is some advice on how exactly to go about doing just that.

Okay, the simple stuff should be covered early. To look thinner, we want to use dark colors. Tops and bottoms should be the same dark color, but can be different shades. We also want clean vertical lines wherever possible.

To best use colors, it is important to understand why they are important. Dark colors tend to deemphasize an area. I have larger thighs, so wearing black slacks helps me create a smoother look and use accessories to move the eyes elsewhere.

To further the effect, you need to wear something that will shift the attention to your strongest assets. This is where you can add color and accessories. If you have a strong bust line, for example, a V neck is an excellent choice.

Along this same theme, use foundational garments to create cleaner lines in bad areas while at the same time emphasizing your stronger points. Shoulder pads and the right style of bra can make a world of difference in your appearance.

As you well know, fabrics come in many styles and widths. Go with thin fabrics that are not clingy. Bulkier, heavy fabrics should be avoided like the plague. They will not enhance a thinner look, so there simply is no need for them.

If you want to look thinner, tighter clothes will do the trick, right? Wrong! Clothes that are to tight just make your bad areas stick out. Go with clothes that move over a trouble area seamlessly and are dark.

If you want to really look thinner, go for clean looks with dark clothes. Use accessories and color sparingly to bring the eye to the part of the outfit you want people to notice. Other than that, emphasize the vertical as much as possible.

Prints are a trouble area when trying to look thinner. Generally, they should be avoided. They tend to draw attention to areas that might not be your best and the focus can shift depending on the lighting you are in.

If you must wear prints, try to go with looks that have smaller designs. Also, wear them only over your positive areas. Keep negative areas in a dark color. This will effectively move the emphasis to your better assets, enhancing your look.

Dressing to look thinner is not as hard as you might think. Emphasize your assets. Wear clean cut clothing. Dark colors go over negative areas with color over positives. Accessories to add emphasis and you are on your way to looking thinner.
