HOW TO LOOK TALLER AND THINNER: ESSENTIAL OUTFIT TIPS
"How to look taller and thinner?" Admit it: you too, at least once in your life, have asked yourself this question and searched for a satisfying answer that would truly allow you to slim your figure . And in fact, you're not alone! Many women would like to look taller and thinner thanks to the right clothing combinations . In fact, heels, bodysuits , and skirts—if used wisely and skillfully—can become a godsend for slimming our figure just enough to make us feel even more beautiful.
How to look taller and thinner: here are our tips
The premise is always the same: we must accept and like ourselves for who we are. However, sometimes we need a little help... That's why fashion comes to our aid with perfect combinations and precious style advice.
Rule number one: be careful with your underwear.
When thinking about combining clothes and dresses to slim your figure, we often overlook the underwear we're wearing. In fact, by choosing the right underwear, you can significantly reduce those extra inches and give your silhouette a slimmer shape. An example? You could wear a shapewear girdle to shape your figure and make it visually slimmer, especially around the abdomen, hips, and buttocks. In fact, there are various shapewear girdles that start from under the breasts and reach the buttocks and can shape the body . We recommend using this trick for special occasions!
Second rule: the watchword is “HIGH WAIST”
If you've been following us for a while, you know that we at Lunatica are true " high waist addicts." In other words, we literally adore high-waisted garments . In fact, wearing high-waisted skirts or trousers is one of the best ways to look taller and slimmer . Why ? The reason lies in the optical effect it creates: wearing a high-waisted skirt will make you appear slimmer . Naturally, you'll need to use a few tricks and pair your high-waisted garment with a cropped t -shirt , top , or cardigan that tricks the eye even more, creating a slimming effect.
Third rule: choose the right patterns and colors
While it's no secret, many people, when dressing, tend not to choose patterns, materials, and colors that suit their figure. In fact, if our goal is to appear taller and slimmer, sometimes it's better to forgo our personal taste and opt for garments with specific patterns and colors. Some examples? Always choose vertical or oblique patterns and ignore very large patterns or extremely large designs: this will make you appear slimmer. Furthermore, it's preferable to choose dark colors , or opt for a monochromatic outfit , avoiding too many different colors. In summary: yes to vertical or oblique stripes or small, regular patterns. No to prints with overly large patterns and no to color combinations with too many different colors.
How to look taller and thinner? Rule number four: watch out for heels.
Not all heels are created equal , though often—when you want to look taller and slimmer—you tend to always choose heels. This is generally a good thing because they help you gain a few extra inches. But you have to be careful which style you choose . In fact, not all heels create the desired visual effect. It's best to opt for heels without straps , pumps with a stiletto heel , or even heels with a nude effect. This will give your leg, starting from the ankle, a certain height which—together with the outfits and combinations we discussed earlier—will help you appear taller and slimmer.
