The celebrity guide to using fashion to look slimmer

Vertical lines are a girl’s best friend when it comes to fashion. The long lines make you look tall and slim.


Fashion is a great way to show off your personality, but it can also help hide lumps and bumps you aren’t confident showing.

These celebrities know a trick or two on how to use fashion to make themselves look slimmer.

ThickLeeyonce

ThickLeeyonce loves to play around with fashion and takes risks other plus-size women are afraid to try.

One way ‘big girls’ can try out the latest fashion trends is by wearing them in black. The colour is known to make you look instantly slimmer.

Minnie Dlamini

Wearing high-waisted pants can help hide flab around your waistline.

If you have an hourglass figure like Minnie Dlamini, it can also draw attention to your tiny waist.

Bonang Matheba

Vertical lines are a girl’s best friend when it comes to fashion. The long lines make you look tall and slim.

Bonang has the right idea with this loose-fitting shirt that not only makes her abdomen appear longer but covers the bum and upper thigh area on those ‘fat days’.

Anele Mdoda

TV and radio personality Anele Mdoda is turning into quite the fashionista! The Real Talk With Anele host showed off her travel style on Instagram recently.

While many fuller-figured women shy away from wearing leggings, teaming them up with a poncho hides any lumps and bumps.

Amanda du-Pont

Make your waist appear smaller by wearing a peplum top like the one Amanda du-Pont is rocking.

This type of top cinches in at the waist and flares out at the bottom to cover problem areas.
