What types of clothing are slimming to the hips?

Answer by  Doris59 (1647)

Clothes in a monochromatic color will always make your hips appear smaller, whether you are wearing a dress, skirt or pants. A dark colored slightly flared dress or skirt will have a slimming effect as well. Pants with simple lines, no pockets or pleats that skim the hips are a good option and definitely no embellishments.

No clothing will take inches off, but you can help yourself look slimmer by wearing darker colors (not always black! ) and materials like cotton and luon.

The most important thing is a proper fit. Tailored pants with a straight leg or a slight flare will make you look slimmer than a tapered pant leg. Also, shirts that come down to the widest part of your hip will make you look slimmer.

Well, first you should consider monotone clothing such as black or navy blue. Dark colors work will. and you might want to consider wearing yoga pants or flat front dress pants. They really will slim you down.

For skirts, try an -line skirt that floats away from the body. Wrap style dresses with an empire waist tie are also slimming to the hips and stomach area. For pants, stick with wide-leg styles paired with pointy shoes that elongate the legs.

Suitable clothing to address this issue would be a dress that slides over the hip area and flairs out at the bottom, as in A-line.
