Article: An open jacket or blazer streamlines your silhouette. The narrow lapels and crisp lines make your body look slimmer, too. For instance, if you're wearing a dress for business or to the office, add a tapered blazer in a complementary color to your outfit. Avoid shorter, hip-grazing sweaters, which shorten the look of your body. Opt for long cardigans that flow to your thighs, instead. A long cardigan is the perfect fall accessory to a dress that hits just below the knee. A wide belt cinched at your natural waist draws the eye to the thinnest part of your body. Skinny belts can get swallowed by the fabric, whereas a wider belt stands out and makes you look smaller. Thin heels and slender toes lengthen your calves' narrow silhouette. Opt for a 2in (5.1cm) heel or higher to make your legs look slimmer. Square toes and thick heels make your legs seem shorter and bulkier, so avoid those styles. Opt for heels that are close to your skin tone rather than those that contrast. Nude shoes lengthen the look of your legs, rather than cutting them off at the ankle. Keep your legs bare and go for a dress that hits at mid-thigh or just below the knee. However, if you want to wear black pumps, for instance, pair them with sheer black tights. Necklaces also draw attention to the top of the body and away from the tummy and hips. Opt for a necklace that reaches to your breasts or lower, rather than choosing a choker or necklace that rests at mid-chest. Many women feel self-conscious about their upper arms. Stack several bangles or opt for a sparkly wrist cuff paired with cocktail rings to draw focus from your upper arms to your wrists and hands.
