If you’ve been searching for chic and slimming styles to try out, you’re in the right place!

The slimmer look always has an elegant feel to it and it gives anyone a flattering silhouette. There are so many styles to choose from so it won’t hurt to learn some tips on how you can elongate your frame without needing any drastic hacks.

These are seven ways you can learn to play around with items you already have in your closet or those that you need to add to soon whether you’re tall, short, curvy or already slim.

Wear dark colors

Having bright and attractive colors in your closet always gives more life to your look. But you can still choose those days where you want to enjoy dark shades like black just to see the chic effect it brings.

Darker colors instantly draw in attention to all the right areas and it just draws your silhouette in. Embrace your little black dresses, black tops and jeans for that sliming outcome.

Grab your waist belts

Waist belts have made a comeback and you can now find new and improved versions in stores all over. They come in different sizes and you should probably stock up on chunky waist belts that give your outfit some shape.

This will save you if you’re wearing loose dresses that can make your figure disappear, by giving your waistline more definition. Get the medium sized or larger belts because the tiny ones won’t really give you the slimming effect you’re going for.

Wear vertical stripes

This hack works every time. Horizontal stripes widen the body and you should probably avoid them if you want to look more well put together.

The lines guide the eyes vertically rather than horizontally which is exactly what makes you look toned.

Get fitted clothes

The oversized trend has to wait this one out for a while so that you can embrace clothes that fit your perfectly.

However, this doesn’t mean that you should wear very tight things because that also does the opposite of what you want here. The trick is to fill your wardrobe with items that are the correct size for you.

Wear high-waisted pants

High waists usually look better than any other type of trousers. Those that ride awkwardly along the waistline draw in attention in the wrong way.

The beauty of high-waisted jeans is that they tuck in the tummy and define your figure immediately. This works with different trousers, but more so skinny jeans.

Wear heels

Heels were designed to elongate the legs which is an important part of creating that slimming, chic look. Those that work best are pointed toe heels and nude heels.

Whatever style of heel you like, add a variety that are within these two categories and you’ll never go wrong.

Choose smaller patterns

Small patterns are more subtle and they don’t enlarge things like the bigger, bolder patterns. They don’t overpower your body and that also does a lot to narrow things down.
