{Wearing sheer clothes can make you look sexy, but you have to make sure that you are very careful about how sheer the clothing is and in what area. Wearing clothing items that are sheer in private areas can make you appear trashy rather than classy.

|Wear darker blouses and pants if you want to appear slimmer. Dark colors help emphasize your good parts and tone down the overweight extras you don't want people to notice. You should wear skirts with elastic waistbands if you are concerned about comfort.

|Before you spend money on extras, make sure you have the essentials covered. Choose items with timeless style and versatility. For example, you might start with a typical black pencil skirt, but change the coordinating shirt or outerwear based on current trends.

|Avoid any horizontal stripes if your weight is higher. This puts emphasis on how wide your body is, making it look even wider. Instead, pick a pattern that is linear or vertical which can make you look thinner.

|Wearing white after the end of summer used to be considered a huge fashion faux pas. Any color, as long as it is flattering, is appropriate. So, if it's white you want to wear, wear it proudly and ignore people who say you shouldn't. Most people don't even think about what time of year it is when regarding your outfit.
