Looking Good At Any Weight or Fitness Level

There really isn't any reason not to look as good as you possibly can, even if you are overweight or not fit right now. Looking good at 40 or more isn't difficult. A recent TV program called "How to Look Good Naked" has drawn attention to the fact that the average American woman is 5 feet and 4 inches tall and weighs 140 lbs. Many of us (especially postmenopausal women) carry around a lot more weight than that, if you ask me. And that's just fine, it's normal. If you're happy with your weight or haven't yet succeeded with weight loss or fitness, there are things you can do right now. Unless you are dangerously or morbidly obese, here's how to appear thinner and fitter than you are now:

1. Wear good undergarments. They are literally the "foundation" of your wardrobe.

2. Simply cut garments, relaxed-fit jeans and pants, A-line skirts, mock-wrap tops or dresses, will all help to hide the fact that you're overweight.

3. Never wear anything that's too TIGHT. Nothing brings attention to lumps and bumps more than a garment that doesn't fit right.

4. Wear darker colors. An overall monochromatic look does wonders for the fuller figure. Shoes with even a small heel can make legs look slimmer and sexy. Darker pantyhose and matching heels are marvelous for that taller, thinner, look.

5. All important in looking good if you're not as trim and fit as you'd like to be....a great haircut and a decent manicure. Shop around for the best you can get with the budget you can afford.
