- 1). Wear a corset. Although they are uncomfortable to wear, they will make you appear to have lost several pounds. You can also try "shapewear," or lingerie made of material that tightly shapes your body.
- 2). Wear tops that flatter you. Tops with distinctive patterns will draw attention away from your torso and to the shirt style. A top with vertical stripes or a V-neckline will also make you appear thinner.
- 3). Wear tops that are longer. This elongates your torso. The long shirt will make it appear as if you have longer legs and a thinner waist. Instead of wearing baggy clothes, always wear a long shirt instead.
- 4). Wear one size larger. Doing this will make you look thinner, since it doesn't seem like you are suffocating in your clothes. For example, you don't want to have your belly fat squeezing out of your jeans and spilling over the pants.
