12 Ways to Create an Optical Illusion with Your Clothes to Make You Look Slimmer

We should all love our bodies as they are. But feeling even more beautiful doesn’t hurt anyone, does it? Can you imagine appearing to have a slimmer silhouette with just a few clothing tweaks? Although it sounds like some kind of magic, optical illusions are not just a visual arts style, but can also be used as a fashion, fun and practical tool. With the right technique and a little creativity, you can create harmonious proportions, matching your everyday clothes.

We, from awesome.clubwe know that all bodies are beautiful in their own way, but if you want to feel more confident, here are 12 optical illusions that can easily improve your self-esteem.

1. Use darker colors to slim your bulkier body parts

2. Vertical lines create a slimming effect

3. Horizontal lines highlight a certain part of your body

4. Combine vibrant colors to create the illusion of a totally different silhouette

Color blocking is a trend that has been around since the 1960s and is a bold way to create optical illusions in clothing. It consists of using vibrant and contrasting colors in strategic places, using lines and geometric prints, to change its appearance. To reshape your body, choose dark dresses with cutouts, geometric prints and contrasting colors.

5. Asymmetric lines are great if you are trying to hide your belly

6. A horizontal band placed across your upper or lower body can also make you look slimmer

7. Lengthen your legs by wearing high-waisted clothes

8. A “V” neckline makes your silhouette appear longer

For women with larger breasts who want to make them appear smaller, the V-neck can have an amazing effect. It doesn’t have to be deep—you can balance your shapes with a low-key V-neckline, which will give the impression of a longer torso.

9. Use large prints, to increase specific parts of the body, and small prints, if you want to reduce them

You can play around creating optical illusions, using different prints on the same outfit. Remember that the larger the print, the larger your silhouette will appear. So it’s a good idea to use larger prints on smaller parts of the body to create a balanced look. If you want the opposite effect, try smaller prints with less space between them — this can make you look thinner.

10. Use colors and lines to define the waist

11. If you have a smaller torso, choose longer tops

By wearing contrasting pieces, you automatically create an illusion of horizontal lines on the body. If you have a smaller torso, wearing short tops or high-waisted pants can make you look shorter or even fatter. In that case, you should definitely try to wear blouses below the navel. With this, you will appear taller and your silhouette will appear more elongated. Another tip is not to wear shirts and t-shirts inside your pants, shorts or skirt.

12. Highlight your best features
