Part of being a woman, it seems, is an eternal dissatisfaction with our bodies. While we may groan when we hear a stick-thin celebrity complain about her (perfect!) legs, most of us have some feature that makes us cringe when we look in a dressing room mirror.

Every woman has something about her body she’d like to hide, whether it’s heavy thighs, a pudgy tummy or a too-round bottom. With just a few visual tricks, your problem areas will disappear and let your true beauty shine through!

Bottom-heavy

If your hips are wider than your

houlders and your thighs are round, you have a classic pear-shaped body. Dressing is a snap if you remember to accentuate the positives: a shapely waist, delicate upper body and attractive shoulders and arms.

Bottoms

• Avoid anything too tight.
• A-line skirts that hit around the knee area are ideal because they draw attention away from problem areas. Miniskirts are generally a bad idea because they accentuate heavy thighs.
• Pant waists should fall somewhere below the natural waistline for a better fit. A straight or slightly bootcut leg is the most flattering. Avoid patterned or light-colored pants. Skip fussy details like big cargo pockets, rouching or excessive zippers around the hip area.
• Shorts can be tricky, but for workouts and casual wear choose lightweight, loose-fitting shorts (no bike shorts). Slimming side stripes on shorts can give the illusion of sleekness.

Tops

• Avoid too-baggy tops or too-tight tops: the looser tops will make you look large all over, the tight tops will make you look out of proportion to your hips. Look for fitted — not skintight — T-shirts (something with some stretch) and button-front tops. V-necks, turtlenecks and open collars all call attention to the face, which is always a good thing.
• Jackets and blazers should hit anywhere but the widest point of your hips. That could mean right below the waist to mid-thigh, depending on your height. Wear jackets and blazers open for the best vertical lines.

Dresses

• Look for dresses that nip in at the waist and slightly flare out over hips and thighs.
• You can pull off a full-skirted ballgown because it will hide heavy hips and thighs.
• Try sleeveless and strapless dresses to play up pretty shoulders and arms.
• An empire, or raised waist dress brings the eye up away from problem areas. Careful, though. Sometimes this gets mistaken for a maternity look with fuller figures.

Top-heavy

The apple-shaped body is usually softer around the middle and has heavier breasts, with narrower hips and slimmer legs. Make the most of your womanly figure by showing off your legs and great cleavage.

Tops

• Avoid too tight (plays up large breasts too much) and too baggy (just makes you look heavier). Opt for fabrics that skim the body, preferably knits and wovens with stretch for a better fit.
• V-neck, boatneck, turtle and mock necks and shirt collars are your most flattering necklines.
• Play up nice cleavage with a peek, not a Dolly Parton-sized slice. Especially appealing: a pretty lace-trimmed cami showing under a jacket or top.
• Avoid full sleeves or puffy sleeves.

Bottoms

• Balance out a top-heavy figure with an A-line skirt that will give you the look of a waist and more of an hourglass look.
• Choose flat-front, never pleated, pants that have a lower rise than the natural waist.
• Five-pocket jeans are your friend! Front pockets on jeans help disguise a tummy problem, while back pockets can help define a flatter rear common to top-heavy women.
• Avoid anything too tight — from pencil skirts to skintight jeans — because it will only accentuate top heaviness.
• Play up nice legs with shorter (an inch above the knee) skirts.

Dresses

• One-piece dressing is tricky for you. Best bets: A sleeveless black sheath, a soft princess seamed dress, a strapless dress with corseted top.
• Resist the urge to cover up head-to-toe: showing a little skin, whether it’s bare arms or shoulders, is much more flattering.

We can’t all be blessed with a perfect figure. However, we can wear clothes that emphasize our good points and disguise our so called bad points. Two woman with identical bodies can look dramatically different in both size and shape simply because of the clothes they’re wearing. But how can you make the most of your body? Check out these rules to make your figure look fabulous…

 Use light and dark colours to make your body appear more in proportion.

For example a woman with big hips and a small bust should wear slimming dark trousers or skirt and size creating light colours up top. This two pronged attack can make a huge difference to how you body looks.

 Use horizontal and vertical stripes to widen and lengthen.

For example if you’re overweight, never wear clothes with stripes going across. This will make you seem even bigger than you are. Instead try to wear clothes with stripes going down. This will make you seem taller and as a result less dumpy.

Use bright colours or patterns to draw attention away from problem areas.

Heels are a gift from God : They can make your legs look coniderably longer, your bum considerably smaller and your overall appearance considerably better. They’re not for every occasion but a woman without a great pair of heels in her wardrobe is missing out on the best figure flatterer around.

Imagine a life without color. Colors help to evoke certain kinds of feelings within us either consciously or sub-consciously. Color psychology is therefore very much a studied subject where the relation of colors with human feelings is revealed. In fact every color denotes a particular meaning. Such is the popularity, that color therapy is applied to many aspects of our life. From fashion to interiors, colors have always played a major role in our lives.

The most elegant of people look classy not because they shop for outfits from famous fashion designers. They look simply because of the right choice in terms of colors. The changing fashion trends may throw up loads of styles your way, however, the trick remains in picking up an outfit with colors that best compliment your personality. Hare are some fashion tips to select the most appropriate colors.Coloring combinations are often discussed in terms of seasons. Deciding which season you are can help decide which colors might work best with your individual features.

                 Winter: If you are a winter, your skin color might be pale, olive, or dark; skin undertones are typically blue or rosy pink. Hair and eye color often contrast the skin. Black, dark, or white blonde hair are typical winter hair colors.

                   Summer: If you are a summer, skin undertones might be pale blue or pale pink. Skin might be pale or pink-toned. Light eyes and blonde or light to medium brunette hair are common for summers.

Best Colors to Wear:
Obviously that gorgeous red dress you have seen in the shop window may not really suit your body shape or skin tone. Picking up something that only looks good in the display is a common fashion blunder. Here’s how to avoid such fashion faux pas.If you have a skin tone that is on the pale or fair side, you would need to wear bold or solid colors that bring out more depth in your overall look. Light shades may tend to make you look slightly paler and may not always complement you in every way. In case you really love wearing pastel shades such as light blue or light pink, you can team it with bottoms of a darker shade for a sharp contrast. Of course, do not go overboard with bright colors to avoid having harsh contrasts. You can wear toned down shades of red, orange, yellow and purple. Off-white tops with dark brown bottoms can look ideal for the professional look. Those who have dark skin tones should opt for light shades for a contrast. You must wear shades that complement your skin tone and hair color. Therefore, avoid shades on the darker side such as dark brown, magenta, dark pink and black. If it’s a must to wear these colors, remember to use them in minimum proportions.

People with medium skin tones are luckier in terms of selection of colors. People who belong to this group can safely select light/pale colors as well as dark shades. These can help to create a beautiful contrast with the natural skin tone. A person with a medium skin tone can look good in shades of beige, blue, pink or even burgundy! Red is something that should be avoided. The various seasons can also dictate moods of a person. There are certain shades, which look their best for a particular season. Muted shades such as browns or deep blues look best for winter. The summer only means you can bring out all the colorful attire. Summer clothing is about bright, pretty dresses and short skirts! Knee-length skirts in medium tones best suit the rainy season.If you’re still at a loss trying to figure out “what are my best colors to wear?”, consider the following colors which work well with virtually any hair/skin/eye combination – as well as being versatile enough for basically any time of year.

  Red: This color works almost as a neutral in many cases, being versatile enough to wear with many other colors. It brings out the natural red or pink coloring in the cheeks and looks great with virtually any skin and hair color

Eggplant: Another highly versatile shade, this rich hue from the purple family looks exceptional on nearly everyone, complementing or contrasting skin and hair tones in style. 

Teal: Choose tops and dresses in a rich teal, and you can’t go wrong. This unique blue-green mix can bring out the eyes of most women, and can also play up the natural flush of the cheeks to make the face appear naturally beautiful.

• If you have a heavier bottom area, then dress up your top. Leave the bottom a bit loose right from the waist down and wear a more form fitting top that will highlight this area of your body. The bottom flaws that you may have are hidden then.
• Add the accessories. Depending on the type of dress you are after, you may want to lay on the accessories so that you can have a more beautiful and complete look. Things like your jewelry, the right handbag and the right shoes really can finish off the look for you.

Minimize Hips and Other Casualties of Being Pear Shaped
If your hips have caused you years of tears, then buck up and start dressing around them. The following tips will allow you to minimize the pear shape that you have been cursing since puberty.There are millions of women in this world who are unhappy with their hips and butt. Most women will walk away from a store purchase because it makes their butt look too big. However, if you wear blazer jackets that cover half of your butt, it will make your backside look smaller. Also, make sure you always wear longer sleeves to more evenly distribute your weight with the eye.

• Skirts: Fuller, below-the-knee skirts conceal wider hips. Avoid high-waisted pencil skirts and opt for A-line styles and skirts with hemline details, which balance your shape.
• Trousers: Sport fuller, wide-leg pants. Avoid cropped pants, which make your legs look shorter.
• Dresses: Well defined waists with fuller skirts can hide a multitude of sins! Try strapless or V-neck styles to draw the eye upward and away from your lower half.
• Jackets: Damn those shrunken-style jackets that are so in right now! They only draw attention to hips and backsides. Stick to longer jackets that camouflage the hip area.
• Tops/Sweaters: Whenever possible, go with halter styles and boat necks, which create the illusion of broader shoulders. So do cardigans with horizontal stripes. Steer clear of clingy or tight tops.

Large Breasts
Although some women would give anything for a little bit larger breasts, those with large breasts just want to hide them. The best type of dress to wear with a large bust is a cinched-waist dress. If you are wearing shirts, try to avoid tight and clingy material. Jackets and sweaters that are unfitted look the best on large breasted women.

Slim the Stomach Area

Whether you have just had a baby, or have a difficult time losing that tummy weight, there are a few fashion ideas you can use to hide your flaw. Long shirts, blouses, and jackets do wonders for a protruding tummy. As a matter of fact, they can make you tummy virtually disappear.

Long Neck
A long neck can be a beautiful attribute. However, if you have a long neck and are not comfortable with showing it off, there are a few things you can do to hide it. Turtlenecks, and high collared shirts can either enhance or hide a long neck.

Long Arms
Long arms are another feature that can be beautiful and feminine. However, if arms are not portrayed correctly with fashion, they can look gangly. The best things to wear for long arms are rolled up sport shirts. However, if you need something a bit fancier, make sure you always buy shirts that have the correct sleeve length. If you wear a shirt with sleeves that are too short, it will make you arms look even longer.

Create Height

You can only add so many inches with high heels. It’s true they look great, are slimming and make you feel taller, but they also absolutely kill your feet. When you want to give your tootsies a break, try these tricks.

• Trousers: Finding pants that make you look taller is easy. Long, wide-leg trousers lengthen legs. Pinstripes and front creases are also flattering for those who could use a few more inches.
• Skirts: Short skirts will make all women look taller. They don’t have to be minis; just-above-the-knee lengths work too. If you’re “vertically challenged,” longer skirts will make you look like you are standing in a hole.
• Dresses: Empire-waist dresses lengthen your bottom half. Try above-the-knee lengths here as well.
• Tops: Drop V-necks with a vertical stripe create the look of a longer torso. Long slim sweaters will also make you look longer.
• Jackets: Keep ‘em short and sweet. Longer jackets will make you look shorter.

Create Curves in All the Right Places

So you’re still waiting to “develop” are you? Well, stop waiting and start creating. Make your own curves for Pete’s sake.

• Jackets: The term “nip and tuck” isn’t just reserved for plastic surgery. Tapered jackets can accentuate bustlines and waistlines.
• Skirts: Pair a full skirt with a long top and add a ribbon belt to create a waist. Belted skirts with pockets create the same effect.
• Tops: Fitted bodices create a super-sexy shape. Shop for V-necks and scoop necks as well.
• Dresses: Cinch a belt at the waist over a dress for instant curves

• Baggy is not better. Whoever thought that wearing lots of baggy clothing was going to help you to look thinner was just wrong. The bottom line is that you will look, well, worse if you wear clothing that is too big for you. Instead, look for a dress that it not tight to your body, but comfortable and well fitting. Really, this can make a huge difference.
• If you know that your top is bigger, find a dress that is going to be looser on the top and more form fitting on the bottom. There are many of these dresses offered today. If you have a large chest, you want that to stand out and not the bit of a bump at your belly.
• If you have a bigger bottom, a dress that is form fitting at the waist but flowing under will help you to look great. It will help to hide the flaws considerably. You do not want it to be baggy, but flowing. On top, you can have a tighter fitting top, possibly showing off the top part of your body.

A woman that really does take the time to have a well thought out and picked out outfit is going to look better than anything that just threw something on.

So you want to look a bit thinner this weekend for that special occasion? No time to get on that diet you had in mind, more immediate action is in order. Lets explore what might work and what will probably not work.If you are thinking about wearing a size or two larger than your actual size, think again. By doing so you may hide a tummy with a few too many inches, but at the same time you might just be making yourself look all that much larger. Not good. The bigger cloths trick really backfires most of the time. Likewise, wearing cloths a bit small can have equally bad results. In the case of cloths too small, they may be too tight and show off some lines you would rather not show off.

Okay, but what works? The first and foremost thing to do is, drum roll please, be confident and poised. All the tricks and tips listed below can help, but the thing that will help the most is simply holding yourself in a confident light. Trust me on this one, you will look much better with self confidence and composure. If you look composed, you will appear more in control, look better, and in turn look thinner too.

Now some tips and tricks to look thinner.

• Slightly bending the rule above, if you have thighs a bit thick, try wearing just slightly larger top and streamlined pants. Not much larger, just a tad, just a tad.

• Wear cloths of solid color or try something with some strips that go lengthwise. Avoid cloths that have any stripping or accents that are horizontal. They will serve to accentuate in the wrong way.

• Try to avoid cloths that bunch up creating points that stick out beyond your body lines. The idea is to have smooth lines without clinging too tight. If clothes bunch up and stick out too far they will make you appear larger.

• Try wearing some higher heels, that will firm up and shape your legs in a more favorable way. They will help make you look taller and thinner.

• Tops that are either boatneck or accessories around the neck will help to draw eyes upward. Your smile will help here too. Smile, confidence, it works.

• Avoid clingy cloths. Well shaped and fitting, yet light cloths are your best friend, they will do wonders.

• Likewise, avoid baggy pants or tops, they will make you look larger than you are and might add some pounds to your appearance.
• No outfit is going to take 20 pounds off your hips, but choosing the right clothing that fits properly can go a long way to slimming your look. If clothes are too tight, all the bulges, rolls, dimples, or any other flaw you may have will show through.
• you are very tall, you can wear a longer skirt that will elongate the look of your body and thus make you appear leaner. If you are shorter, a longer skirt might make you appear even shorter, but a skirt that falls right below the knee will help you appear a bit taller and leaner. Avoid ankle length skirts if you are short and avoid above the knee skirts if you are tall.
• Optical illusion patterns, diagonal stripes, zig zags and the like can fool the eye and detract from problem areas. However, avoid horizontal and vertical stripes because these both can cause you to appear heavier
• A V-neck outfit can help draw attention away from the middle area, thus slimming your entire appearance, while a V-line waist on a skirt or dress can really help reduce the appearance of bulk at the waist and top of the hips.
• If you have larger hips and thighs, when you wear pants, you do not want to wear the slim ankle or flare cut pant legs. The best cut for slimming is the boot-cut pant leg, because this will give a more symmetrical appearance and thus make you appear thinner.
• Avoid bulky scarves and belts around the waist, especially if your problem area includes your hips and waist.
• Avoid bulky jewelry, especially around the neckline. However, at the same time, if you are a larger women wearing very small pieces of jewelry, this can add to the illusion you are bigger than you really are. Pick jewelry appropriate to your size, without a lot of bulk.
• Where it’s darts in shirts, pleated pants or skirts, pleats will pull when moving and if you have a bit of extra weight, they will not help accentuate your best features. This is especially true of your stomach area when wearing skirts or pants – avoid pleats.

Hot in Winter Fashion

Winter is the time of year that our fashion designers claim to prefer designing for. With winter fashion comes textures, colours (although too often these are just shades of black and grey and crème!), trims, and multiple layers of clothing. We are suddenly inundated with options of what to wear, and which fashion trends to follow. It can all get pretty confusing! So here’s my (brief) summary of what’s in store so far for winter, and a couple of trends to be very, very cautious of!!

GENERAL LOOKS:
The oriental look has made yet another come back. Think wrap around tops, satin fabrics, apple blossom prints, Chinese necklines, bright red, black, and yellow. This is quite a classic, simple trend to wear, and most oriental inspired designs can be easily worn with your favourite pair of jeans or skirt, making it easy to follow this trend by adding just one wrap top or Chinese neckline to your wardrobe. Most of the oriental inspired garments are quite light-weight though, so this trend is more suited to the autumn months than to the middle of winter.

Gothic:
It’s going to be a dark, dark winter. If you’re going with this trend, keep an eye out for black clothes, tight fitting tops, black lace, long flowing skirts, and plenty of dark eye make up and nail polish. Silver jewellery is a great way to accessorise this trend, especially the classic silver cross necklace and plenty of silver rings. You can get dressed up in all those long, flowing clothes, and swish your way dramatically around town.

Military:
The military look is still around, despite it having been in our wardrobes for a few years now. And it’s still a good, comfortable option. Combat and cargo pants tend to be very comfortable, and those pockets come in very handy, especially if you’re not a fan of carrying around a bag all the time. Shades of dull green, white, black, and grey marle are still scattered around all the shops. Wide mesh tops have made an appearance at Glassons once more. Epaulets are popping up on jackets and jerseys, and wide rib jerseys are all over the place.
