CHECK OUT OUR TOP 10 TIPS...

1. Match your separates.

“Lose” kilos by matching your pants or skirt, stockings and shoes. You’ll seem 10kg lighter if they’re all black! Is the one-color thing too tame for your taste? Slip on a pair of bright shoes to shake things up.

2. Remember the number one secret of slim dressing: PROPORTION.

Full, round shapes on top and bottom will make you look…full and round. So always accentuate your smallest part by pairing your more generously cut pieces with a more fitted piece. Balance a full skirt with a fitted shirt, a flowy blouse with pencil-thin jeans, a miniskirt with a longer top.

3.Choose shapely skirts.

The tailored cut of a pencil skirt (we love that it’s not skintight through the hips) makes all bodies look sleek. A-line ones work wonders on anyone whose thighs are a little heavier.

4. Don't overuse hair products.

Don't overdo the hair oils as they weigh down the hair and you loose all the body in your hair. Also it attracts dirt.

5. Always Match your lipliner and your lipstick

Nothing looks as bad as a black lipliner! Don't use black to outline your lips. Match the liner with the lipstick or gloss to avoid the trashy look.

6. No bad hair days.

There are no excuses anymore for bad hair. If you have had no time to do your hair, put on a great head scarf or invest on some great quality wigs or ponytails.

7. Use the right belt.

Wider belts instead of skinny ones will actually make you look smaller.

8. Nail polish

Keep the bright red nail polish for the weekends and NOT for work. Keep it natural and pretty. Always carry your hand cream in your handbag and use it after every hand wash.

9. Pick your prints wisely.

Prints aren’t as slimming as solid colors, but you can make them work for you by playing up their camouflaging features. The golden rule of prints: The smaller the print, the smaller you look.
