Opt for shapewear: Trying to get that perfect figure under that hot top? Try and opt for shapewear. Apart from being seamless and super comfortable, these will also give you the figure you desire. So let go of all those apprehensions and give this magical trick a try. Once you do, you won't want to go back.

One of the smartest things you can do to make your waist look slimmer is to highlight your upper waist. The upper waist happens to be the narrowest part of the body, so if you highlight it the right way, it will definitely make you look slimmer than you are. Opt for elasticised waist tops or wear thin belts as these will draw attention to your upper waist.

If you're looking to hide down those flabs, it's best to stay away from fabrics that feature lots of gathers, tucks and pleats that are concentrated on the waist area. Instead, opt for dense prints on the surface area like embroidery and ruching. These will help exude the illusion of different dimensions and will make you look slimmer.

Let's get one thing straight. Opting for higher waisted skirts and pants will help create the illusion of a smaller waist and long, slender legs. So, the next time you decide to buy a pretty skirt or a pair of trousers, make sure they sit at your upper waist. Plus, this trend is so in right now so it'll also help you exude those chic vibes.

Peplum tops can literally come to your rescue when you want to look slim. They fit well at the top and flare out as they move away from the waistline. Not only does this give you that perfect hourglass figure, the fit and flare design ensures that your waist looks slimmer.

If you top ends where your weight shows the most, then you are bound to look fat. So, try and opt for tops with hemlines that end at the right place. For example, if you have a bigger waist, don't opt for short crop tops. Instead, wear tops that end below the waist. The same goes for anyone with bigger thighs.
