It’s time to plan for the Christmas Eve party and the smoking hot looks that will last through the party season. If you want to look slimmer, here are some tips:

• Go for darker shades as they create a slimming look. Black never fails to trim you and colours like blue, brown, purple also help to shape you up.

• Avoid large prints as they make you look broader. Go for small prints dresses and mixed print clothes and small print design.

• Try rapron dresses as long skirts make the body look more proportionate. Try out soft lining rapro which hides the heavy areas of the body.

• If you have a short neck and double chin go for a narrow and deep neck, preferably the V-shaped deep neckline.

• Don’t forget the sleeves. Long sleeves make the arm look more stretched and slimmer. Try structured sleeves and cowboy sleeves.
