|Wear darker blouses and pants if you want to appear slimmer. Dark colors help emphasize your good parts and tone down the overweight extras you don't want people to notice. You should wear skirts with elastic waistbands if you are concerned about comfort.

|Keep up with the latest styles. Styles are constantly changing, and you can find out what is new by looking at fashion magazines every now and then. They typically display news trends in style first.

{Casual up-dos are a good way to pick up the hair from your shoulders. Long, loose hair can get in the way during work or play. When you're out of time, put your hair up in a bun!

}{Moisturizing shampoos can help with frizzy hair, so look for that property listed on the bottle. This actually stops the hair from becoming too moist. Shy away from any products that are advertised as "volumizing".

|Avoid any horizontal stripes if your weight is higher. This puts emphasis on how wide your body is, making it look even wider. Instead, pick a pattern that is linear or vertical which can make you look thinner.
