Look Slim this Fall

Want to look chic and slim this fall? No worries, it’s easy. Key word… layer. Lucky for you, layering has more than one advantage. Since the weather is getting cooler you might want to start layering your clothes to keep warm and at the same time give yourself a slimmer look. “Fall has arrived which means we get to add a few layers to outfits to keep out the chill and cover up any figure flaws. While layering is relatively simple to do, a few expert tips will help you make the most of this cozy look no matter your shape,” says Emily Neill. My guess is your wondering how to do this. So am I. Stylelist.com has given girls like us a few tips about layering for a slim look this fall.
Tip #1:
Layering allows us to break up looks and create new shapes visually by mixing hems and color. But while layering sweaters is a great idea to stretch your wardrobe, a dark top over a light tank shortens your torso and makes your hips appear wide. A better color combination is two similarly dark colors (brown and wine) which looks more sophisticated and slimming. You look leaner (in the same pants) since there is no break of color to cut your shape in half. For a more colorful look that still flatters, play up your blue eyes and blond hair by layering a blue bolero over a sculpting black V-neck sweater. The contrasting colors now work together to highlight your narrow waist.
Tip #2:
If you tall and slim, with a straight "ruler" shape, our goal for you is to add curves and make the most of your height. Trade your shapeless beige pants and sweater for crisp black trousers and a fitted oxford and vest duo. The deep scoop of the vest helps to shorten your tall torso while the oxford collar frames your face. The long necklace softens your look and adds a polished accent to a classic outfit. For a skirted look that makes the most of your slim figure, pair a curve-maximizing pencil skirt with a form-hugging top and snug bolero sweater. The bolero reshapes your torso by emphasizing your waist, while the other pieces heighten your curves.
Tip #3:
Last but not least, if your short (5'2") and have a baby tummy and thick arms, rather than masking your bulges under layers, your thick sweater and low rise pants highlight the tummy you'd like to forget! To ban the bulge, trade that bulky sweater for a sleek black tee and slim dress coat. The coat cinches you at the narrowest part of your torso while long black sleeves cover potential arm issues that the capped sleeve coat could have brought out. For a skirted look, pair a fluid A-line black jersey skirt with a shirred-waist cowl-neck fitted top, and a soft "jacket" in order to get coverage for your belly and upper arms but still show off your petite shape.
Wow, I didn’t think layer could make you look slimmer. These are definitely a few tips to keep in mind while picking out different outfits this fall! Hope these tips helped you out as much as they helped me!
