Adults love Halloween and they love to dress up. However, there is the age old problem for women: how do I find a cute costume that looks great and makes me look skinny? Men can dress up in most costumes, even take off their “This is my costume” T-shirt, but there’s a lot of pressure on women to find a cute or sexy Halloween costume and look good. So how do you look skinny in a suit?
Don’t worry, if you follow these 3 simple tips you will find that you too can look skinny in your Halloween costume.
1. Wear high heels with your costume. Heels have the advantage of tightening the calves, making them look firmer and smoother. The heels also give the visual effect of lengthening the legs. This is especially good if your problem areas are up. Pair the highest heels you can comfortably wear with a short skirt costume for maximum attention to your legs.
2. Wear a suit that fits you well. This sounds like a no-brainer, but many women will choose the wrong size costume in an effort to appear slimmer. If your costume is too tight, you’re going to stick out in unsightly places and make you look like a stuffed sausage. Have you ever seen one of those fatter girls wearing a tank top? Imagine that in you.
On the other hand, if you choose a costume that’s too big, it will hang on you and create volume where it doesn’t belong. Baggy dresses, oversized tops, pants that gather around the ankle, all of these things make you look bigger than you are. Avoid extra bulk and choose a costume that fits you well, isn’t too tight in any part, doesn’t bulge or sag, and is easy to move around in.
3. Flaunt your good parts. The best way to look slim is to draw attention away from problem areas, so flaunt the good parts. Do you have really toned arms? Try a sleeveless dress. excellent neckline? Show it off with a low-cut top or corset. Big legacy? Take a look at the heels suggestion above. Do you have cool eyes? Do your eye makeup well and pull your hair up and away from your face, which will also thin it out and draw attention to those beautiful eyes.
Using the simple tips above, you too can look skinny in a costume. All you need to do is keep them in mind when shopping for your outfit.
