- Fashion starts with colors and using colors to balance your body the most advantageous thing you can do. Wear light colors where you are proportionately smaller and dark colors where you are proportionately bigger. For example, if you have large hips, wear any kind of a dark salwar, trouser or skirt a light colored Kameez, kurta, Kurti or a blouse.

- Dressing head-to-toe in a single dark color, like navy or black, is the single best way to look like you've lost 10 pounds.

- Wearing outfits with shoulder pads helps to balance wide hips. The shoulder pads will add to your shoulders therefore balancing with your hips.

- If you are overweight, avoid choose clothes that are too tight. Clothes that fit well will make you appear slimmer while tight clothes will only add pounds.

- If you are short try to wear clothes in solid colors with simple lines, this will make you appear taller.

- Always break in new shoes before wearing them out for a special occasion

- Vertical stripes make you look thinner. The skinnier the stripe, the thinner you appear. Pin strip suit works best.

- Avoid wearing black during hot days as black color absorbs a more heat than any other color.

- Women with heavier thighs should wear a straight cut skirt or a full leg pants. This will make your thighs look thinner.

- If you want your legs to look longer wear slim, straight leg pants.

- Whenever wearing a White or a light color shirt, wear a bra close to your skin color.

- Give a new updated look to an old blouse or jacket by sewing on new buttons.

- Pleats add pounds. If you want to look larger through the hips, wear pleats. If you don't, avoid pleats! · If clothes don't fit, have them altered. If they don't fit, they'll remain in the closet.

- Denims were big last summer and is expected to continue this year as well.

- Choose your accessories wisely. Accessories can completely change the look of an outfit.

- Women with larger hips should choose jeans that are generously cut through the hips with a flared leg.

- When losing weight, don't wait to choose wardrobe pieces. Choose pieces that will camouflage problem areas.

- Ditch shorts. Capris, on the other hand, are surprisingly slimming, especially if you stick to dark denim or black and wear ones that aren't too short or too long. They should end at the least-wide part of your calves, ideally a few inches above the ankle.

- Wear a sexy V-neck and deep scoop-neck tees elongate the neck and make the torso appear longer by showing off your collarbone.

- Sport three-inch heels. High heels give you a thinner profile and silhouette.

- Avoid ankle-strap sandals. The more of your leg and the top of your foot you show, the longer your leg line will appear.

- Pick a well-proportioned purse. Petite women look sexiest with smaller bags, while large women look best with medium-size purses.

- Score face-slimming shades. If your face is on the full side, wide rectangular-frame sunglasses give you a sleeker look.

- Think long jewelry. Long, skinny earrings and sleek pendant necklaces elongate and slim the face and body with their vertical lines.

- Wear bangles. Skinny bangles or a bracelet-style watch make your arms look thinner by creating space around your wrist, which fools the eye, making you look slim.

- Pick the right part. Opt for a side part -- a center part makes your face look round. A good rule of thumb to find the most flattering, face-slimming part: Use the arch of your eyebrow as a guide. Start the part above the arch and go back from there in a straight line.
Pull your hair back. If your neck is on the short side, pulling hair up off your neck and shoulders makes the neck look longer and upper body appear thinner.
Add volume. Hair that lies too flat on the head makes a full face appear even bigger. A full or wavy style, on the other hand, minimizes a larger face.

- Do an updo. Building extra height at the crown of your head narrows round features and makes your face seem thinner. For the simplest 'do ever, twist hair into a high knot and fasten with a pretty barrette.
