Although we do encourage exercise, there are often times when everyone is in dire need of a quick slim down fix. When you haven’t had time to hit the gym, or just aren’t feeling too great about your body, try these fashion tips for a slimmer you.

Often, a little pushing up of the “girls” (if I may call them) is a super easy way to look more fit. A push up bra or any bra with a bit of padding will give the appearance of improved posture while giving the look of being more in shape. This is because it takes away any sag. Along with this temporary lift, wearing a body shaper, such as a Spanx high-waisted body piece, will make your midsection look slimmer and toned. Wearing a belt above the hips will also help your waist look smaller. Since flowy tops are in, wearing a looser shirt is a more comfortable and easy way to make any anything you aren’t comfortable with disappear.

If you are more concerned about your lower body, here are a few secrets. Weather permitting, dark colored tights are an easy way to make your legs look slimmer. Also they will help your ensure that your legs are not the main focus of your outfit. Covering your legs draws attention elsewhere. If you want to make your legs look slimmer, just throw on some heels. Any size heel will make your calves look tighter and give you a sexy boost. If you want to add the illusion of extra length to your legs, wear skin colored heels, they will make your legs look never-ending!

So your plan is to draw attention away from your rear?  We suggest that you don’t wear garments with details on the backside. For example, don’t wear jeans with big back pockets, or a dress with ruffles in the back. Also, wearing darker colors on your bottom half will make you look slimmer.

If you are worried about your arms, just your luck- styles with covered arms are in! Long sleeves that cover your arms will draw attention away, and instead of wearing arm jewelry, accent other features by wearing a bold necklace or earrings. Also, similar to Spanx for your tummy, there are body shapers for your arms! They work the same way as Spanx by fitting under yours clothes and give a smoother and more toned look. Get one at TresSleek.com for $26.95.

Hope you enjoy these tips! Never the less, no matter what shape or size, remember you’re always beautiful!
