The world need not come to an end,if you are slightly on the heavier side.You can of course,start by cutting down on food and visiting a gym.And you got to stop being a couch potato.But,while you are doing all this to reduce,it would also pay to pay attention to the kind of clothes you are wearing.Read on....

1) Do not wear low-waist jeans if you have a paunch.It looks terrible when your tummy peeps out from underneath your tee-shirt.

2) Do not wear tight tee-shirts or shirts.They make you look more fat.Also avoid wearing short-length shirts.Make sure that your shirt covers your tummy.

3) When buying formal shirts or tee-shirts,go for stripes.Stripes make you look tall and slim.Avoid geometric patterns.Also try and avoid solids as much as possible.

4) Just as you wouldn't wear a skin tight tee-shirt,make sure that your wardrobe do not boast of too many baggy shirts/tee-shirts.

5) Go for colours like beige,black,white,aqua,biscuit,pastel shades.

6) For that ultimate casual look,go for capris,instead of shorts.
