Even if you have healthy eating habits and have the motivation to exercise regularly, you still may want a little help looking slimmer and more fit in your clothes. Dressing your way to a slimmer you is super easy. Some of these tips may be a good refresher, while others may be a new tip to try. Changing the look of your body is right at your fingertips.
ShapewearOf course wearing shapewear is no surprise if you want to look leaner. The great thing about shapewear is that there are so many options. Toss your tummy control panties to the side (for a second) and try out some slimming leggings (with built in tummy control) or a tank top that helps to suck in any belly bulge. The fact that shapewear has morphed into actual ready to wear means that the options are limitless.

Statement JewelryStatement jewelry popped on the scene a few years ago and if you have not gotten hip to it, you definitely should, especially if you want to look slimmer in your clothes. An over-sized necklace and large earrings will take attention away from your problem areas and help to keep focus on your accessories. Statement jewelry certainly makes a loud statement on its own so if you rock big baubles make sure to keep it simple with your clothes.

Full SkirtIf you are pear shaped and want to avoid bringing attention to your bottom half, try for a full or maxi skirt that can accentuate your waist and your top half. Of course, anything skintight will be unforgiving, but if your skirt or dress has a lot of volume to it you will be able to hide any trouble spots.

Vibrant ShoesBlack is a well known slimming color to wear. It is widely known that if you want to look slim, wear all black. Yes that is true, but you can wear other colors like navy blue, chocolate brown and white to look slim, and when you pair it with a vibrant shoe it will take your outfit to a whole other level.

LayeringLayering CAN make you look slimmer if it is done the right way, and if there is a doubt, I can confirm that there is absolutely a wrong way to layer. The best way to layer is to opt for a slimming bottom (leggings, jeggings and skinny pants work the best) and then lightly layer on the top. If you are more top heavy opt for a camisole, a fitted shirt (that covers your bottom) and throw over it an easy wrap or a cardigan sweater. Paired with a slimming pair of high heels or high boots, attention will be directed to your legs.

The Right Bra and UndergarmentsSo many women wear the wrong bra, and wearing the wrong bra will accentuate ripples and bulges that you may want to streamline. Take the time to get fitted (by a professional) for a bra. Also wearing the correct undergarments allows you to have the proper foundation to your wardrobe.

High Waisted PantsHigh waisted pants can accentuate your waist, so if your waist is your strong suit you will definitely want to draw attention to it. Wearing a pair of high waisted pants with a simple top is an easy way to look thinner in the middle if you are heavier on the top.
