Here are some fashion strategies that can help you look EXTRA sleek, slender, and smart at every workday and even on dress-down-Fridays!
1. Stop hiding in layers.
A figure hidden in yards of fabric always looks bigger. If you're trying to cover some skin and bulge, make sure to wear something just right - not too big or not too small. Unless it's your pullover day. ;)

2. Think vertical.
Seams, stripes, or a deep v-neck all stretch you out. Be careful of anything horizontal.

If it's your waist, your neck, or your shoulder, go for it! Remember to use color and pattern to bring the gaze towards your best asset.

Be consistent and include these as part of your daily bread. Ask every member of your family (at least) to support you and do the same. Like a ripple effect, at least 5/10 ratio of people has a bigger impact than 2/10 ratio of saving mother earth.
