We are always asked "How do I look slimmer for my photographs?". Well here are a few ideas that help you look better for your photos.
1. Color
- Darker, solid colors tend to be the most slimming. Our eyes are attracted to bright color first, so you will look larger.
- Try not to let your top and pants contrast to much. This creates a horizontal line at the waist, making you appear shorter and wider.
2. Pattern
- Large, bold patterns, such as flowers, checks and stripes will give the illusion that you are larger.
- Horizontal stripes are an absolute NO if you are worried about your weight.
- Medium to dark solid earthtones, black or gray, or even white or beige will be more flattering in a photograph.
3. Texture
- Shiny and sparkly materials will make you appear larger. Instead, opt for a matte fabric and add jewelry.
4. Sleeves
- Sleeveless tops will make you look 10 pounds heavier. Cover your shoulders!
- ¾ Length or long sleeves tend to make you look slimmest.
5. Fit
- Oversize clothes will not camouflage, they will only make you look bigger.
- On the other hand, clothing that is to tight will make you look larger too. Don't buy a smaller size just because it makes you feel better, you are the only one who can see the size label!
6. Jewelry and Hair
- Long necklaces create a longer line, and make you appear slimmer.
- Pulling your hair back off of your shoulders can make your face appear slimmer.
7. Magic
- Remember, all of our portraits are retouched and enhanced. We have some cool tricks to make you look slimmer, make you look younger, make your spouse look more attractive and make your kids look better behaved!
