1 - Wear wide leg pants

While at first it would seem that wide leg pants would make you look bigger than you are, in fact, the wide leg style in most cases creates a nice straight line, creating the illusion of longer legs. This, in turn, makes you look taller and is very forgiving. If you'd like something a little more interesting than traditional wide leg pants, look for cuffed leg, it's a little more chic and fun. Style Note: Try to avoid cuffed pants if you are under 5'5. Cuffed pants tend to make short legs look shorter.

2 - Wear bootcut/slight flare jeans

Jeans are an everyday item, and because they're worn so often, they should be the items that we put the most effort into buying. Bootcut jeans, and jeans with a slight flare, are going to be flattering on every body type. Again, we're going for long clean lines, and creating a soft silhouette, which really adds up to a pretty, slimming look.

3 - Don't get caught up on size

A huge and very common mistake when shopping is that we get too caught up on the number on the tag, and not the fit. Sizing runs different in all stores, so make sure you try on a variety of sizes to get the best fit. Wearing something that's too small for you can make you look a lot bigger than you actually are, so make sure you find the right fit.

4 - The longer， the better

One of my personal pet peeves when it comes to dressing is pants that are too short. There are certain lengths for capris and flood pants, but the worst thing for your figure is pants that are too short, and cut off the leg. You want to make sure that your pants are long enough to cover most of your shoe. The longer, the better. See the reoccurring theme here? Long lines create long legs which creates a slimmer look!

5 - Pointed toe shoes

Ahh, one of my secret weapons. Pointed toe shoes are going to be the final touch when you're dressing slim. Whether they're flats or heels, pointed toe shoes allow the length of the pant to flow into a point, which lets the line we've created end in a natural place. Rounded toe shoes tend to cut off the line, making legs look stumpy.

6 - Wear dark colors

This one is a given. Dressing in dark colors is very slimming. Instead of the traditional black, opt for something a little more unexpected, like charcoal or navy. If you'd like something other than a solid color item, look for a dark woven tweed, or subtle pinstripe. Style Note: Try not to dress in head-to-toe dark colors. If you're wearing dark pants, pair them with a fun bright top, or a top in contrasting color. Remember, we're dressing slim, not going to a funeral.

7 - Don't be clingy

When shopping for pants, try and look for pants made of heavier fabrics so they don't cling to your leg. There's nothing worse than fabrics clinging to your body, showcasing all of your flaws. Look for fabrics that are flowy and light, which tend to pull away from the body.

8 - Focus on your assets

Every single one of us has wonderful assets that we want to play up. If you have gorgeous legs, go for a nice full knee length skirt. If you've got great arms, go for sleeveless tops. Got a great waist? Play it up with a blazer that cinches at the waist, or add a belt to pull it in.

9 - Back pockets

This is also something else that is an afterthought for most of us. Pocket size on jeans can really make or break the jeans. Pockets can either make your bum look bigger or can really flatter it. When shopping, look for jeans that have decent size pockets, relative to size of the seat. Steer very clear of too tiny pockets that can make your bottom look huge. Instead look for fun cargo flap pockets or bigger pockets that are situated lower on the jeans to make your bottom look higher. Try on as many styles and washes as possible to ensure you get the best look.

10 - A-Line isn't for All of us

A-line dresses and skirts were always known as the best skirts out there，that flattered everyone. Well, that's not always true. A-line dresses can create a tent effect and give you a shapeless look and add pounds within minutes. Always try on a dress before buying, and find out if A-line works for you. Style Note: Empire waist tops and dresses can create the same effect, so watch out for babydoll style tops.

参考下这些时装款式的建议来打扮一下自己，你一定会看起来更加苗条的。不管我们的身体让我们高兴与否, 这都无关紧要，但是我们总是想把自己展现得苗条些。这并不是说你要去健身房去锻炼，你也千万别那么做，如果运用这些款式搭配技巧的话，你一定会变得更加苗条。

1. 穿宽腿裤

咋一看，大家都认为穿宽腿裤会把人显得比本人还要胖大。可事实上，在多数情况下穿宽腿款式的裤子会营造出一种直线感，而且会把双腿显得很修长。换句话说，这样会把你身材显得很高挑，人也显得很大方。如果你不对这个有点传统的宽腿裤感兴趣的话，你可以去挑选个翻边裤，这款可是很时髦，很有意思哦。款式建议：如果你身高不到5.5英尺的话，那就不要穿翻边裤，翻边裤会把短腿显得更短。

2. 穿靴型或带点闪光的牛仔裤

牛仔裤是大家平常都爱穿的衣服，就是因为大家经常穿这个，他们才成了我们花力气要买的衣服。靴型牛仔裤和带点闪光的牛仔裤适合所有体型。再者，我们想要的效果就是要显得我们身材修长，整洁，有线条，营造出一种柔和的轮廓，这确实会使我们的外表变得更加漂亮苗条的。

3. 不要迷信衣服上面的号码大小

我们购物的时候总是很关注标签上面的号码大小，而不是合适与否，这是我们常犯的错误。不同的商店，其服装号码的大小也是不同的，所以你要试穿几个号码才能找到最适合你的衣服。穿太小的衣服会把你显得比你本人更大，因此一定要挑选出最适合你的那一件。

4. 越长越好

谈起穿着打扮，我最讨厌的事就是裤子太短。瘦短筒裤和宽短筒裤的长度够长，但是要和体型搭配起来，最糟糕的就是裤子太短，那就剪掉裤腿。你想把你的裤子长及覆盖你的鞋子，越长越好。看到你的主旋律又降临了吧？--裤子长长的线条会把你的腿显得修长，这样，你就会苗条了！

5. 尖头鞋

啊！我的其中一个秘密武器就是尖头鞋，如果你想打扮得苗条些的话，尖头鞋是最后一个润笔之处。不管尖头鞋的鞋跟是平跟还是高跟，它们都会把裤子的长度延伸的，这样就会把我们搭配出的线条变得很自然。而圆头鞋则容易把线条中断，就会把腿显得矮胖。

6. 穿深色的衣服

这条大家都知道。穿深色的衣服会把人显得很苗条的，当然这个颜色不是黑色，比如不经意间选择一件碳黑或者是海军蓝的衣服。如果你不喜欢深颜色，而是喜欢其他颜色的话，那你就挑选深色的斜纹软呢料子，或者是精致的细条纹料子的衣服。款式建议：不要从头到脚穿的都是一色深的衣服，如果你想穿深色的裤子的话，那就在上身配上亮色的衣服，或者上身配上与下身相反的颜色的衣服。记住，我们这样穿着是为了显得瘦一些，而不是哀悼谁。

7. 衣服不要太紧

在买裤子的时候，要挑选和试穿那些用厚布料做的裤子，因为厚布料的裤子不会紧贴住你的双腿。布紧贴住你的身体是最糟糕的事情，它会你所有的缺点都暴露出来。挑选那些柔软轻薄的布料，那样就不会粘着你的身体了。

8. 亮出你的优势

大家可发挥的优势都不少，都想展示下自己。如果你的双腿很好看的话，那就买件漂亮的能盖住膝盖那么长的裙子穿；如果你的双臂很棒的话，那就买件没有袖子的上衣穿；如果你的腰围也很棒的话，那就穿件正好到腰部的颜色鲜艳的运动夹克，或者在腰间上配一条腰带。

9. 裤子后兜

对大家来说，这个也是一个很有意义的想法。牛仔裤好看与否确实与牛仔裤上口袋的大小有关系。口袋会把你本来就不怎么样的身材变得更为肥大，或者变得更为平淡无味。买衣服的时候，要挑选那些口袋大小很般配的仔裤，口袋大小和臀部的大小有很大关系。选择口袋小，而且口袋的款式又很清晰的仔裤，就会把你的臀部显得非常大；然而，选择那些口袋带盖，或者是口袋大，位置又靠下的仔裤，就会使你的臀部显得很高。尽可能地多试几款或多洗下牛仔裤，来使你获得最好看的身材。

10. A字型并不是所有人都适合

大家总是认为A字型的女装穿在外面是最好看的，而且很多人穿上都好看。可是，这并不是人人穿上都好看。A字型的连衣裙给人一种帐篷的感觉，看起来不好看，好像几分钟内突然增加几磅肉似的感觉。在买衣服前一定要试穿，看看A字型的衣服是不是适合你。款式建议：在法国革命时期，腰部以上的上衣和裙子都显示出了这个效果，因此一定要避免上衣的孩子气。
