* Go monochrome: Monochromatic dressing (one color from head to toe) makes anyone look taller and slimmer.
* High heels make you look more feminine and your legs look longer.
* A single-button jacket with long pants has an overall slenderizing effect.
* Skirts with a flared, A-line cut make your waist appear smaller and hide your thighs. If you want to wear pleats, they should start below the hips, to flatten your tummy and give you freedom of movement.
* The slight flare at the bottom of boot-cut jeans makes your thighs appear thinner.
* Wear skinny diagonal stripes. Horizontal stripes create width; diagonal stripes give a fluid look and the skinnier the stripe, the thinner you will appear.
