Eight tricks to look thinner with summer clothes

1/15

Oversize jerseys and coats!In summer the 'bikini operation' is not reduced only to what we put on the beach: on the street we also show more skin than ever.Do you know how to take advantage of summer garments?We tell you eight tricks that never fail to survive the 'Operation Streetstyle' without diets that are worth.

1.Create a visual effect on silhouette

Or what is the same: teaches more skin, but strategically.In summer the optical tricks are easier than ever because the garments themselves lend themselves to it thanks to the cut-outs, the cropped cuts or the necklines, especially in a very pointed beak, such as Selena Gómez, the black body with Criss-Cross closed to the front that have taken a lot of celebs, or the white top of Alessandra Ambrosio.Both combine it with cowboy and no more is needed: the inverted triangle -shaped neckline extends the neck and attracts attention to the top of the trunk, causing it to seem longer and stylized.

2.The 'Bodycon', also with a trick

The dress that adjusts as a second skin is a summer basic: if you are going out of home in a bodycon design, look for models with an incorporated optical trick.The Stella McCartney of Kate Moss creates the illusion of a sandwater silhouette thanks to the color-buck design that combines nude + black on shoulders and waist.In addition, in summer we can also give the change to color games for cut-outs.

3.Wasp waist, yes or yes

With a Fit and Flare dress, that is, adjusted in the body and then opened in the hips, to be able to be long above the knee so that the leg seems longer.These types of designs are not only perfect for the summer but also feel equally good for women with much or little hip (the same as the peplum steering wheel), since they serve both to hide curves and to add them.The enthallated body, in addition, visually refines the waist, in this and other Summer dresses: if you opt for a stamped thread garment, such as Sienna Miller, or a shirt dress, always quit it with a belt.

Do you wear pants and not dressed?No problem.You can get this same effect by the edge of the shirt inside the waist.If on top of the pants they are ankle and with sandals, better than better (remember to teach skin strategically).

4.Compensates the silhouette: `Baggy 'garment + tight garment

Baggy garments are a summer must because nobody wants to get home at the end of the day and have to get the jeans little less than with shoeker...A pinzado pants, wide and with an ankle in the air, in camel color like Gigi Hadid's, it is a fresh, comfortable garment that is worth in a day to night styling.Of course, always compensating the silhouette with an entry garment, such as a tank top tank of braces or a crop-top.

This also applies to cowboys, especially with XL designs such as Boyfriendic Jeans and very low, or better yet, the Mommy Jeans, broad and with high waist.Avoid the effect Fleeing from the Baggy + Baggy combination so typical of the summer and combines these cowboy garments with an adjusted top.

The only exception: the cowboy bib.It is one of the star garments of the summer (here you can see all the ways in which you can combine it), but, despite being a cowboy garment, its dresscode is quite strict: excessively baggy bibs can play a bad pass to your silhouette.A fitted, well embedded and the right size, however, does wonders, especially if we raise the sexy factor to the nth power à la Heidi Klum: without top below, or failing that with a top band or with a t -shirt tight inNude color.

5.Add some 'nude' shoes

Speaking of nude, nothing to stylize the leg how to create an optical effect that extends it visually thanks to a shoe in the same color as the skin.This trick is the summer version of the opaque socks + Dark Winter Shoes, and works especially well with short skirts, such as this triangle type jeans with buttons ahead, or with a summer minidress.Extra points If the shoe toe is dark, such as Chanel Sling Back (in dancer format, with block or espadride), to shorten the length of the foot.

6.Cowgirls + Jersey waist

It looks like a somewhat uncoordinated combination but if Alexa Chung and Nadine Strittmatter take him for something will be.The waist sweater is a novelty trend (do you remember the knotted pictures around Kurt Cobain Style Style?) So you can't be in tune with Streetstyle fashions, and they are the most casual way ofCreate a visual cut in the silhouette when we fit flat shoe: Alexa's are black shirts and Nadine's about purple velvet loafers.

The knot around the waist does not work only with sweater: also with a light thread boxy shirt, open ahead and closed with a knot at the lower end.It is the summer version of Blazer, which stylizes and redefines the silhouette, hiding some weak points of the trunk such as the waist or arms.

7.Make the 'monoblocking' your mantra

It favors all silhouettes, including Kim Kardashian's 'dangerous' curves;The socialite has made the monoblocking (dress all the garments of the same color, the opposite of the color-bucking) its lifestyle because it works with two of the key features of its silhouette: its height-very 1.59 meters-, andYour curves.Kim has signed up for monoblocking in all possible states: before being a mother, during and after pregnancy, almost always in neutral colors such as nude, military green or gray.The tendency to dress in a single color creates a vertical line that makes us seem higher and thinner, and eye, we must not have curves like Kim to carry it: her little sister Kendall, a catwalk model, also carries her.

Although the stripes are not discarded.Especially in summer, when the sailor look is more pertinent than ever.Horizontal or vertical: both are valid as long as they respect the 90/10 rule, that is, 90% of the garment is light color and the rest is black.Vertical stripes lengthen the silhouette in longer looks, such as a dress, while horizontal work better in a top because they look from left to right.

8.Hello, zippers

A kind of scratched effect, but lies.The garments with the front also direct the look from top to bottom, creating a vertical line, with the difference that, in this type of garment, we can give corner to the prints;For example with an elastic skirt with top or a smooth dress.

This trick works even with difficult garments, such as Karlie Kloss's adjusted knit dress.

Final trick: combines several tricks at the same time

To achieve the definitive effect.Although it is no secret that Khloe Kardashian has spent many hours in the gym to redefine her silhouette in recent months, the strengths of this look help: red monoblocking, neckline creating an inverted triangle in the upper area of the body and shoesnude to extend the leg.All in one.
