According to an article in the Daily Telegraph on 5 July 2007, the average dress size for a female in the UK is a size 12, although it is expected that this will have increased to a size 14 in the coming years.
It is important to note here that this is not a bad thing, contrary to what some people might say. Humans evolve all the time and the average dress size now is radically different to what it was 50 years ago; that is just how nature and evolution happens.
As a woman who wears plus size clothing, does this make you feel better? No, probably not and therefore it is important to ensure that if you wear plus size clothing, that you feel comfortable and confident in doing so and these 6 points should all help make you look thinner, regardless of your size, hopefully increasing your self confidence in the process.
1. Correct size. One of the most important and yet simplest ways to looking thinner is by simply wearing the correct size clothes. If you try to fit into a pair of jeans that are a size too small, they will look too tight and show off all the curves that you did not want showing off. Conversely, by wearing a top that is a size too big, this will make you look larger than you are, as it will be loose, ill fitting and shapeless.
2. Black colour. Some see black as being boring, whilst others see it as being a wonderful colour. Whichever side of the fence you sit on, you must always remember that black will make you look thin. Due to it being so dark, it will hide any unwanted shadows and stop any definition of your body in places that you do not particularly want.
3. Focal points. A clever trick to making yourself look thinner is to draw the attention of peoples eyes away from parts of your body that you are not confident about to a more positive area close by.
For example, people with larger waists than they would prefer often detract from this area by wearing a big and bold necklace, drawing peoples eyes to the neck area. Similarly, for those women with wide hips but slim legs, it would be wise to accentuate the thighs with well-fitted jeans and wearing a longer top that ends near or on the hips.
4. Necklines. Many people neglect the importance of necklines, but by choosing clothes with the correct necklines for your body, you can look slimmer immediately.
For instance, a common problem that many women have is large hips. It may not seem linked, but by wearing a top with a wide neckline, it gives the impression that your hips are not as wide as they may be.
5. Well balanced. A point that is often struggled with is understanding the importance of having an overall balanced look. If you are heavy on the top, for instance, you should look to wear trousers that flare slightly at the bottom (boot cut jeans work great for this), whilst if you are larger below the waist than you are above it, aside from a wide neckline, small shoulder pads can balance out your entire body.
6. Light jackets. One of the easiest ways to look instantly thinner is to wear a light coloured jacket. By making sure that it fits in with your outfit in general, but offering a little light contrast, too, leaving it unbuttoned will give the effect that your torso is a lot slimmer than it is. |
