Many people are surprised because sometimes they look chubby in pictures than they really are. If this is the case, you can easily look thinner by paying attention to choosing clothes to create a slimmer effect every time you take a photo. Another effective way is to change the pose and apply some photography tips.
Steps
Choose clothes that make you look thinner
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/c/c0/Look-Thinner-in-Photographs-Step-1-Version-3.jpg/v4-460px-Look-Thinner- in-Photographs-Step-1-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/c/c0/Look-Thinner-in-Photographs-Step-1- Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Look-Thinner-in-Photographs-Step-1-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Combine loose and tight clothing for balance. Wide leg pants should be teamed with a well-fitted top. Or, you would wear a loose shirt with a short skirt. Wearing tight clothes can highlight areas of your body that you don’t want to draw attention to; on the contrary, baggy clothes can make you look oversized. [1] X Research Source
- If you don’t want to draw attention to a certain area, choose loose clothing for that area.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/4/48/Look-Thinner-in-Photographs-Step-2-Version-3.jpg/v4-460px-Look-Thinner- in-Photographs-Step-2-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/4/48/Look-Thinner-in-Photographs-Step-2- Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Look-Thinner-in-Photographs-Step-2-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Choose a long cardigan or vest for a slimmer upper body. Both of these jackets with their hip length make you taller and slimmer. Pair one of two tops of any color or pattern with a dark dress, blouse and skirt, or shirt and trousers. [2] X Research Source
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/b/ba/Look-Thinner-in-Photographs-Step-3-Version-3.jpg/v4-460px-Look-Thinner- in-Photographs-Step-3-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/b/ba/Look-Thinner-in-Photographs-Step-3- Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Look-Thinner-in-Photographs-Step-3-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Wear a belt to accentuate your hourglass figure. If you have a small waist, the belt will help draw attention to your slim waist. However, you need to make sure that the belt is the right size for your body shape – a large belt is suitable for tall people, and a small belt is suitable for people of short height. [3] X Research Sources
- Large belts are the perfect accessory to dresses, tops and skirts, shirts and trousers, or any outfit.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/0/07/Look-Thinner-in-Photographs-Step-4-Version-3.jpg/v4-460px-Look-Thinner- in-Photographs-Step-4-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/0/07/Look-Thinner-in-Photographs-Step-4- Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Look-Thinner-in-Photographs-Step-4-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Wear straight leg pants with no pleats in the front to make your legs look longer. You should avoid pants with pleats in the front so as not to make the waist look bigger. Pants that fall from the hips will make your legs look longer and slimmer. Flared, pleated and slightly stretchy pants accentuate the curves of the body. Try to avoid pants with pleats in the front, as they often make the waist look bigger. [4] X Research Sources
- Choose dark pants, such as black, gray or dark blue for a slimmer effect.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/6/66/Look-Thinner-in-Photographs-Step-5-Version-3.jpg/v4-460px-Look-Thinner- in-Photographs-Step-5-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/6/66/Look-Thinner-in-Photographs-Step-5- Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Look-Thinner-in-Photographs-Step-5-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Choose clothes that are black or have vertical stripes for a slimmer look. No matter what clothes you wear, choosing dark tones is always a good choice for a slim figure. Besides, if you like textures, vertical lines will contribute to a slimmer effect. You can also choose other textures, as long as it’s dark, low-contrast, and proportionate to the overall size.
- Avoid large horizontal stripes because they often make many people look like they are oversized.
Styling to flatter your figure
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/3/34/Look-Thinner-in-Photographs-Step-6-Version-3.jpg/v4-460px-Look-Thinner- in-Photographs-Step-6-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/3/34/Look-Thinner-in-Photographs-Step-6- Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Look-Thinner-in-Photographs-Step-6-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Lean slightly instead of turning your whole body left or right. While turning your whole body towards the camera can make you look fatter, turning your whole body to the left or right accentuates your belly. Instead, you will stand facing the camera and put all your weight on one leg. Push the hip of that leg back, release the other leg in front, and bend the knee.
- Push the shoulder on the same side as the weight-bearing leg back, then bring the other shoulder forward and slightly lower.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/1/17/Look-Thinner-in-Photographs-Step-7-Version-3.jpg/v4-460px-Look-Thinner- in-Photographs-Step-7-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/1/17/Look-Thinner-in-Photographs-Step-7- Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Look-Thinner-in-Photographs-Step-7-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Do not put your arms close to your body. Putting your arms close to your body will make them appear larger on screen. Instead, simply relax your arms. [5] X Research Sources
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/a/a5/Look-Thinner-in-Photographs-Step-8-Version-3.jpg/v4-460px-Look-Thinner- in-Photographs-Step-8-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/a/a5/Look-Thinner-in-Photographs-Step-8- Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Look-Thinner-in-Photographs-Step-8-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Place your hands on your hips. To avoid placing your arms too close to your body, you can place your hands on your hips. Or, if you’re wearing pants with pockets, put your hands in your pockets so your arms aren’t pressed against your body. [6] X Research Sources
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/1/14/Look-Thinner-in-Photographs-Step-9-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px-Look-Thinner- in-Photographs-Step-9-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/1/14/Look-Thinner-in-Photographs-Step-9- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Look-Thinner-in-Photographs-Step-9-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Hide a body part behind someone when taking a group photo. When you take a group photo, take advantage of the person next to you! Lean over so that one side of your body is behind the person so you look thinner on camera.
- When taking a group photo with a large number of people lined up, you should not be in the first row if you want to look thinner. Stand in the middle or last row, even if you’re not tall.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/4/48/Look-Thinner-in-Photographs-Step-10-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px-Look-Thinner- in-Photographs-Step-10-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/4/48/Look-Thinner-in-Photographs-Step-10- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Look-Thinner-in-Photographs-Step-10-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Sit with your chest up and don’t stoop. When taking photos sitting, you need to avoid stooping so as not to expose the abdomen. Keep your chest up and your back straight. You can try taking a deep breath to stretch your chest.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/3/34/Look-Girly-Step-6-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px-Look-Girly-Step-6- Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/3/34/Look-Girly-Step-6-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Look- Girly-Step-6-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Cross your ankles when sitting. The secret to good sitting shots is to cross your ankles instead of your legs. Crossing your legs at the knee can accentuate your thighs, especially when you’re wearing a skirt. [7] X Research Sources
- You can also cross any part of your legs during a sitting shot.
- Always sit up straight when taking pictures.
Make the face look slimmer
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/c/ce/Look-Thinner-in-Photographs-Step-12-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px-Look-Thinner- in-Photographs-Step-12-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/c/ce/Look-Thinner-in-Photographs-Step-12- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Look-Thinner-in-Photographs-Step-12-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Lift your chin and bring it forward. In order not to have a “double chin” when on screen, you will raise your head. Bring your chin forward to make your neck appear slimmer. [8] X Research Sources
- Practice tilting your chin up and forward in the mirror to see which position makes you look your best.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/e/ef/Look-Thinner-in-Photographs-Step-13-Version-2.jpg/v4-460px-Look-Thinner- in-Photographs-Step-13-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/e/ef/Look-Thinner-in-Photographs-Step-13- Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Look-Thinner-in-Photographs-Step-13-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight” :546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Place your tongue on the roof of your mouth while you smile. Sometimes smiling while taking a photo can make your eyes narrow and your cheeks look fuller. The way to avoid this is to place your tongue on the roof of your mouth while you smile. [9] X Research Source
- Your smile won’t be as wide as usual, but it will still look good in photos.
- Practice smiling like that in the mirror to see what your face looks like. You can adjust the position of your tongue on the roof of your mouth if your smile seems forced.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/2/27/Look-Thinner-in-Photographs-Step-14.jpg/v4-460px-Look-Thinner-in-Photographs- Step-14.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/2/27/Look-Thinner-in-Photographs-Step-14.jpg/v4-728px-Look- Thinner-in-Photographs-Step-14.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Make the hair slightly puffy. If you tie your hair up, style it in a loose bun instead of a bun, or pull your hair back and tie it up. When you let your hair down, you can style it with curls or waves to draw attention to your face for a more harmonious look, or add volume to straight hair by applying volume at the roots. [10] X Research Source
- Puffy hair will help the head and face look harmonious. Men can add volume to their hair by styling their hair with pompadours or using a volume powder at the roots.
Apply some photography tips
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/3/38/Look-Thinner-in-Photographs-Step-15.jpg/v4-460px-Look-Thinner-in-Photographs- Step-15.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/3/38/Look-Thinner-in-Photographs-Step-15.jpg/v4-728px-Look- Thinner-in-Photographs-Step-15.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Place the camera above eye level. When taking a “selfie”, you should not place the camera below eye level. This angle is often unsightly and makes your face look bigger than it really is. In case someone else takes a photo for you, you will ask the photographer to put the camera up high. The best angle is above eye level. [11] X Research Source
- You should not look down at the camera when being photographed by others or when taking a “selfie” to get the best face angle.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/c/ca/Look-Thinner-in-Photographs-Step-16.jpg/v4-460px-Look-Thinner-in-Photographs- Step-16.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/c/ca/Look-Thinner-in-Photographs-Step-16.jpg/v4-728px-Look- Thinner-in-Photographs-Step-16.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Avoid direct sunlight when taking photos outdoors. Sunlight can make you squint when shooting outdoors, making your cheeks and jaw look bigger. When taking photos outdoors, you should shoot in the late afternoon to avoid harsh sunlight. [12] X Research Source
- If you have to take photos during intense sunlight, try standing with your back to the sun so you don’t squint.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/7/7f/Look-Thinner-in-Photographs-Step-17.jpg/v4-460px-Look-Thinner-in-Photographs- Step-17.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/7/7f/Look-Thinner-in-Photographs-Step-17.jpg/v4-728px-Look- Thinner-in-Photographs-Step-17.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Use a dark filter. Most smartphones or digital cameras have filters that allow you to change the brightness or contrast of your photos. Try using filters that make photos look darker or bronzed to see which gives you the best shots. [13] X Research Source
Advice
- V-neck T-shirts often help the upper body look slimmer and show off the collarbone.
