This picture demonstrates 4 ways to look slimmer.

• A non-descriptive print with no background can fool the eye, camouflaging the area. This print works particularly well. It forces the eye to look diagonally and vertically.
• The crease up the centre of each leg on the pants creates vertical lines elongating and slimming the legs and body.
• A broach draws attention, acting as a focal point close to the face and by-passing the figure challenges.
• The tie on the shell creates a vertical line drawing the eye toward the face.
