10 Sneaky Ways To Make Your Waist Look Smaller!

Let’s not kid ourselves, ladies! No matter how amazingly balanced our diet is, and how regularly we exercise, we still love a sneaky cheat sheet to fake an hourglass shape! That’s why we bring you 10 super ways to make your waist look smaller – go on, try them NOW!

1. Go High-Waisted

Moving the waistline of your jeans and pants higher will help accentuate the smallest part of your waist and bring more focus there. This also makes your curves stand out more!

2. The Right Belt

Find the right belt for your figure and stick by it! Especially when you feel like you’re drowning in a dress or a jacket, just add a wide belt to create a better and more interesting silhouette for your mid-section. This, of course, makes your waist appear smaller too!

3. Embellish Up Top

Focusing attention on your other assets can automatically help your waist appear trimmer! Opt for tops and tunics with an embellished neckline or detailing at the chest (and preferably just a solid colour at the waist). It works wonders in creating an illusion of narrowness at your waist!

4. Side Panels

A colour-blocked tunic, kurti or dress, which has panels on the side in a contrasting shade, can really create the illusion of a slimmer waist. Try it for yourself, you won’t ever want to wear anything else!

5. Fit And Flare

A dress that almost instantly trims the inches off your waist is the classic fit-and-flare! It flatters your curves and skims over all the problem areas, while simultaneously making your waist look tiny!

6.  Tuck It In

Tuck in those loose, flowing tops! They don’t always do good things for your figure since the fall completely hides your waist. So neatly tuck it into the waist of your pants or skirt and pull it back out just a bit for it to be comfortable.

7. Wrap It Up

Wrap dresses are definitely worth your money since they won’t ever go out of style! And they are very comfortable and flattering for all body types and gives the illusion of an hourglass shape always. Plus they automatically cinch your waist subtly.

8. Sky-High Stilettos

Add a pair of heels to your look! It’s not as useful as a belt, of course, but heels do elongate your silhouette – which automatically makes your frame look narrower, and your waist tinier. (Of course that also means you need to know how to survive in heels all day!)
