What makes you look thin:
• Dressing in one color from head to toe— and it doesn’t have to be black
• Choosing darker shades over brighter shades
• Plunging necklines that draw the eye to your face and away from other problem areas
• Pointy-toed heels that add length to the leg and muscle to the calves
• Avoiding low rise pants and the dreaded muffin tops that come with them • A-line skirts flatter all figures
What makes you look fat:
• High waisted jeans as Jessica Simpson painfully showed us
• Shiny, clingy dresses that accentuate all the wrong places
• Tight tops that give the illusion of a baby bump when there isn’t one
• Unflattering hem lengths
• Skirts with slits down the front (hint: side slits are much more flattering)
• Clothes that are too baggy
• Patterns, especially stripes
