7 ways to look slimmer without exercising

When I get an e-mail that says 7 tips to dressing 7 pounds thinner in the subject line, I open it immediately.

I figured it was a public relations company touting something, and I was right. Would I like to interview style expert and book author Jene Luciana? I might, but for now I was interested in those seven tips. Luciana wrote “Bra Book,” and we all know what a proper fitting bra can do for a woman.

“Just getting the proper fitting bra can take pounds off your figure instantly,” says Luciani.  But there are also some other easy ways to trim your figure, without having to hit the treadmill.  Now I’m really paying attention.

1. Beat up the muffin man

“Finding the appropriate undergarments is one of the most important parts of looking your best,” says Luciani.  If your underwear or bra is too tight, it can give you that muffin-top appearance or back fat that can make you appear larger than you are. 

2.  Get waisted
“Adding a belt to highlight your waist – the thinnest part on most women’s bodies -can instantly make you look 7lbs thinner,” she says.  Creating curves can often draw the attention to the waistline creating a slimmer and sexier style.  You can find a belt that is customized for your own body at Badichi Customized Belts located at 159 Prince Street in Soho. 

3. Boost your humps

Whether it’s your boobs or your butt, whatever your best feature, flaunt it.  “Wearing something that flatters your figure best will draw more attention to those areas you’re proud of,” says the author.  Bust UP Cups by KYMARO are a great addition to your bra for some extra cleavage.
