Okay, y’all. Let’s admit it. Once in a while, we all see trouble spots we’d like to will right off of our bods. And sometimes even the most diligent worker-outer and healthy eater cannot change some of their bodily woes. So today, my Beauty Tip Friday post is all about Fashion Tricks to Make You Look Slimmer. Here we go:

1. Say Ahoy to the fabulous boatneck shirt. Widening your shoulder area with a boatneck collar style isn’t just fashionable; it makes your hips appear more narrow, too!

2. Bust out your most uncomfortable shoes. Pointy-toed shoes make your stems look longer. Round- or square-toed styles do the opposite.

3. Be happy with three-quarters instead of full. It’s not often I’ll advise you to not go for the whole kit and kaboodle, but when it comes to sleeve length, that’s exactly what I’m saying. Three-quarter length styles make your arms appear smaller and can also make your entire bod look slimmer. Why? Attention is focused on your exposed wrist and forearm area, which just happens to be the thinnest area of your body.

4. Layer more than just your hair. Layering necklaces (such a fun trend!) draws the eye up and down toward the face and neck - and conveniently away from trouble spots.

5. Be a wrap star. Use the ever-cute scarf/wrap trend to your advantage. Layer a wrap over a your shirt to instantly make your torso appear slimmer.
