| In
those countries where people see a lot of Japanese tourists or those of you who
have had a chance to visit Japan are constantly amazed by how slim Japanese
women are. Many of these people have written to us asking
how they can get
slim like these women. MYNIPPON believes that to get slim like Japanese
women, you have to follow the basic steps of losing weight - that is, eating
healthy food and exercising
regularly. Of course, losing weight also takes
time. In the meantime, here are some tricks to look slimmer just by
dressing appropriately. These techniques are to be used only as
guidelines. Of course, you have your preferences, and you need to consider
specific personal situations. Tips on looking slim
-
Try to wear suits rather than
dresses. Suits provide you with an opportunity to look smart without
necessarily emphasizing specific parts of the body. The more lines and
seams you have, the less attention is drawn to not-so-perfect areas
underneath. (Related:

-
Choose dresses with
high empire
waists — they are more forgiving to trouble
spots like the hips and tummy. During
spring and summer when you are
more likely to use such dresses, make sure that you wear something that
suits you. (Related article:

-
Wear
skinny diagonal stripes.
Stripes have a visual effect and can be successfully
used to create illusions. Horizontal stripes create width; diagonal
stripes give a fluid look. The skinnier the stripe, the thinner and taller
you will
appear.
- Use knits with a small textured pattern. Bigger
texture creates an image of a big body.
- Stay away from
pleats — they instantly add weight
to your body. As cute as you might want to
look, pleated skirts or
pants is just not a good idea.
- Dress in black - it works all the time. If you
absolutely have to choose some other
color, then go for navy or brown.
Lighter colors should be avoided.
- It is
not a good idea to wear skin-tight
clothes.
- Avoid big prints on clothes or
scarf. If you
do decide to choose printed design, make sure that it is something simple
and small that does not invite a lot of attention.
