Wearing black has been the most basic fashion advice for the plus size women who want to look slimmer. It still applies until today but the figure-conscious should go beyond this color.

Bright and oversize prints are also in but be sure to stay away from a monotone dress. Go for one that has color inserts such as those placed smartly on both sides of the dress to create an hourglass effect. This can tone down large hips and enhance the figure.

For those who love pants, pick one that is made of stretchable material and in a neutral color. You can pair this with a tailored top that has a vertical detail to make you look taller.

The key to looking thinner is achieving the right proportion. Those with a large upper body than their bottom should choose a style that minimizes their top half but accentuates the bottom part.

Those who are bottom-heavy and have a small frame on the top part should go for bright colors near the face and dark colors on the bottom. You can experiment with varied necklines as well to highlight the upper body.

So make sure to know your figure better by using a full-length mirror. This way, you will know which parts of your body need to be highlighted.
