THINNER BY MORNING Tip #4 Make V's

Make V's not boxes at your neckline and thigh. V-neck halters in tops, sundresses and swimsuits are guaranteed transformers that elongate the body. Straight low boy-leg suits and minis that cut your upper leg at the widest point form a boxy shape that makes your rear and thighs appear huge.

THINNER BY TONIGHT Tip #18

Want to look your best tonight when you're out on the town? Load up on jewels! Long necklaces can help stretch a short neck and bring focus from and center, away from muffins, hips, and belly. Shorter mid-chest bibs, chunky pendants, or big chandelier earrings can move the eye from boobs to your face and keep them there. Sparkly cuffs, stacks of bangles, and cocktail rings can call attention to wrists instead of flabby upper arms.

THINNER BY MORNING Tip #3 The Power of Self-Tan

THINNER BY MORNING Summer Tip: Self-tan. If you have a light skin tone, getting a spray tan at a salon or doing your own smearing the night before can hide all those things that shouldn't see the light of day—like veins, cellulite, stretch marks, and brown spots. If you're darker skinned, you're ahead of the game.

Still need to get a swimsuit this summer? Try this tip: THINNER BY MORNING Summer Tip: Buy as close to your dress or pants size as possible when it comes to swimsuits. Going up a size or two to fit in a suit makes your bust and rear droop—you won't be getting the support you need.

THINNER BY MORNING Tip to Stay Looking Thin This Summer

THINNER BY MORNING Summer Tip: Create a diversion! A print with a lot of movement can blur body flaws, and so can shirring or draping. Swimsuits are 90 percent illusion, 10 percent coverage, so take advantage of these strategically placed details. The same applies to beach cover-ups, tops and dresses.
