Stand tall: Hunched-over posture can add pounds to your frame. Stand tall by imagining you have a piece of thread running through your body and out of the crown of your head, which is gently pulling you upwards.

Pull it in: Being able to hold in your abdominals is a skill worth knowing. Don’t suck everything in and hold your breath, though. Focus on mastering the rib – hip connection even when you are standing. Training your pelvic floor muscles will also help tone your lower abdominal muscles. To do this, take a breath into the lower rib cage and, as you exhale, draw up the muscles of the pelvic floor, as if you were trying to stop yourself having a pee.

Pile it up: Wearing your hair up adds height to your overall figure and makes your face look slimmer. If you have short hair, try wearing it off your face to slim down features.

Go dark and mysterious: It’s a fact – wearing black makes you look slimmer. If it drains your complexion, go for a dark color such as chocolate brown, eggplant or charcoal grey and wear the same color on top and bottom for a slimming effect.
