Whether you've got a hot date or big interview, read on for some great tips on how to look slimmer.

Steps

1. Buy clothes that fit you. Whether you are a size 8 or a size 18, if you wear the wrong size clothes, you'll end up looking bigger than you are. Wearing clothes that are too tight leads to bulges and lumps, so try things on before you buy them. On the other hand, choosing clothes which are too big add to your size and make you look fatter.

2. Choose items which skim over areas you want to disguise. For instance, if you want to make your tummy look flatter, move away from skin tight vests, and choose a flattering tunic. Instead of choosing a mini skirt, hide chunky thighs under a floaty skirt.

3. Make sure you are wearing the right underwear. Thongs and g-strings are all well and good if you have no fat on your body, but if you want to give the illusion of a skinny figure, go for supportive styles which help to pull in the tummy. A well fitting bra can also help to create a smoother slimmer figure.

4. Highlight your good bits! If you have a beautiful slender neck, but a bit of weight on your waistline, draw attention to your neck with an eyecatching necklace, or other accessories. If you have toned arms, wear a sleeveless top to make the most of your assets.

5. Work on your posture. Stand up straight, pull your stomach in, and your shoulders back. You can pratice posture by balancing a book on your head and walking - the book shouldn't fall off! Whenever you get the chance, look in the mirror and make sure you are not hunched over. This is possibly the MOST important tip, as bad posture can add pounds visually.
