Dress Thin this Summer
With warm weather coming, you may be wondering how to dress to avoid showing your problem areas but still be comfortable and fashionable.
Shirts
- If your upper arms are a problem, choose t-shirts instead of tank tops.
- Or, try a sheer or light shirt worn as a jacket over your tank top.
- Unless you have 6-pack abs, skip the shirts that bare your stomach.
- While you may be tempted to choose something baggy to cover up, don’t. It will just make you look heavier. You don’t have to go form-fitting, but the shirt should fit.
- Make sure your shirts aren’t too long. Having them hit around halfway between your waist and hips is a good option for most women.
Shorts
- If your thighs are an issue, pick shorts that come down below your thighs.
- Pleats can make your stomach look even bigger. Flat front pants are a better choice.
- Stretch jeans and pants are good if you tend to have a “bulge.” They’ll also give you more wear time if you’re losing weight.
- Capri pants are a good option if shorts don’t do it for you.
Colors / Patterns
- Dark colors make you look thinner. If you’re bottom heavy, choose dark shorts or pants.
- Vertical stripes are thinning; horizontal stripes tend to add weight.
- Large patterns (flowers, etc.) tend to add pounds.
- Bright or shiny fabrics will tend to add pounds.
Tan
- Having a tan will tend to make you look thinner. No, I’m not telling you to risk sun cancer; try one of the sunless tanners instead.
