Attractiveness standards, especially when it comes to body type, are constantly changing. At different moments in history, in one culture or another, the concept of beauty has been and is being interpreted differently. Today, for many, attractiveness is the notorious “90/60/90”, and those who do not meet the “fashionable” parameters try one diet after another and “rack up the miles” on exercise machines. A healthy lifestyle is, of course, good, but if you are by nature a “curvy girl”, you should not “sculpt” yourself into a “skinny” person and look in the mirror with despair when exhausting diets do not bring the desired result.
A woman dressed with taste can become the personification of grace and elegance, regardless of her parameters. For many, it will seem surprising that you can visually “lose weight” simply by choosing the right accessories. They will be able to change the image, hiding flaws and emphasizing the natural advantages of appearance. What jewelry should overweight women choose to appear slimmer?
Rules for selecting “slimming” jewelry
The appearance of every woman is unique. In trying to meet standards, you can lose your individuality - become one of many, mix with the gray mass. On the contrary, it’s worth looking for ways to emphasize your difference from others, to make your image spectacular, arousing the admiration of others.
The correct selection of clothing, accessories and jewelry can help with this. The latter can visually reduce and improve proportions, draw attention to the advantages and “look away” from the shortcomings.
The rules for selecting jewelry for “anti-skinny women” are based on simple principles. First of all, it is worth abandoning stereotypes, dispelling some myths and taking a new approach to the choice of clothing and accessories.
Principle one: give up small decorations in favor of massive ones
The “harm” of miniature accessories is their complete “uselessness”. Small chains and pendants, thin bracelets will simply get lost against the backdrop of curvaceous shapes. While “oversized” jewelry, on the contrary, will distract attention from unwanted volumes and visually make the figure more graceful. Why does this happen?
Reference. The “discoverer” of this effect was the German psychologist G. Ebbinghaus. He proved that two completely identical objects will be visually perceived differently depending on what is nearby.
A clear example of this effect, as they say, in action, will be the following photo. The central object, surrounded by large figures, is visually perceived as smaller in comparison with the same size, but located in the center of a circle of small figures.
Principle two: when choosing large jewelry, maintain a sense of proportion
You should not complement your look with several “oversized” accessories at once.You need to choose one thing - otherwise the conspicuousness of one piece of jewelry will neutralize the catchiness of the other. As a result, the desired effect will be lost. 
Reference. A sense of proportion must also be observed in the number of jewelry worn at the same time. There should be no more than three accessories and they should be in harmony with each other and match the image as a whole.
Principle three: choose accessories with vertical lines
It is known that vertical prints on clothes visually elongate the figure. The same effect can be achieved using various “long” decorations. Depending on which part of the body needs to be made visually thinner, long beads, earrings or necklaces with elongated pendants are chosen.
Principle four: choose the right color for your jewelry
Bright accessories, set off by clothes in subdued tones, will make the image of a plump woman truly luxurious. Black and white monochrome looks impressive on “appetizing” ladies. 
Reference. Silver will look ideal in the “anti-skinny” look. It is very fitting that lately this metal has been at the peak of popularity.
Principle five: give preference to “serious” accessories
Ladies with large volumes and plastic trinkets are completely “non-complementary”. For luxurious women - only precious metals and stones or high-quality jewelry. Excessively colorful, “simple”, infantile accessories with hearts, bows and other “cute and funny” details will make the image awkward and tacky.
What does this look like in practice?
Recommendations for choosing jewelry that visually makes your figure slimmer are quite simple. But examples of combinations, as well as additional “tricks” will help in putting these tips into practice.Depending on which part of the body you want to make thinner, the following jewelry is used:
- bracelets with a wide base will give your wrists more grace, visually making them less voluminous;
- rings with large stones will “stretch” your fingers in length;
- “oversized” beads or other neck accessories will highlight the collarbones and make the neck look like a “swan”.
As for the principle of verticality, several nuances should be taken into account. The best option is accessories located on the neckline. It is preferable that they be medium in length and width and do not fall below the waistline - so as not to draw attention to the “imperfect” stomach.
In general, long neck jewelry is “shown” for those who have a larger upper body than their lower body. Otherwise (that is, when the bottom is more massive), you should pay attention to bracelets, and for an evening look, choose a tiara that will add height.
The principle of verticality can also be used when choosing earrings - long options will make your face look thinner. But hoop earrings are contraindicated for rounded cheeks.
Even if you do not have good taste by nature, these simple recommendations and examples will help you make your image non-standard and memorable and, most importantly, visually remove excess volume.
