How To Look Like You’ve Lost Weight

Drink dandelion leaf tea. Herbalists swear you can flush out four pounds of fluids in one day.

Splurge on a skin-firming body wrap. It can give you a slimmer silhouette in a single one-hour session by compressing fat cells. And the effects can last up to a month.

Get a fake tan; a bronzed body always looks more slender than a pale one.

Go to a lingerie store for a proper bra fitting: Wearing the right one can make you look pounds lighter.

Ditch any baggy duds in favor of clothes that lightly cling. It may sound strange, but oversize clothes actually make you look bigger than ones that gently hug the body.

Pick dresses and skirts that stop at the slimmest part of your leg; when other people see you, their brain will automatically register that your entire leg is just as slim.

Choose shirts with side vents, and wear them over your pants to create the illusion of a tinier waist. To camouflage a stomach paunch, wear a shirt that has ruching around the middle.

Dab on a floral/spicy scent. A study found it makes men perceive a woman as four to twelve pounds lighter than she really is!
