We do firmly believe that we must all love ourselves the way we are, and that having a positive body image is an extremely attractive personality trait. There is, however, no harm in trying out a few tips and tricks that are key to making you look your most slender and thinnest self when the time comes to pose for your next solo or group pic. An unflattering picture can add unnecessary pounds, so here are a few pro trips to use when you are posing for pictures, to look thinner minus using any photo shop or other such apps.

 

1. Stand at an angle:

Standing facing the camera can often make you look unnecessarily wide. A 45-degree angle is the best and most flattering way your can face a camera and look more svelte.

 

2. Keep your arms up: Avoid and unnecessary and fattening squish. Keep your arms slightly away from your body or on your hip if it feels more comfortable.

 

3. Stand up straight:

Perfecting your posture makes you look slimmer then if you are slouching, and, as a bonus, it’s also good for your back. Talk about a win-win.

 

4. Stick your head out forward: To keep your face from looking wide without creating a double chin, tilt your head forward. Stick your chin out a little bit—think of leading with your forehead. It brings the head forward a little bit but slims under the jaw line and the neck. Lower your chin down a touch will keep the pose from looking unnatural.

 

5. Lift your tongue: Yes, you read that right! Try this weird trick to avoid a double chin: Push your tongue against the roof of your mouth. It sounds strange, but the action tightens the muscles under your chin, giving you a slimmer look instantly.

 

6. Cross your legs at your ankles:

While posing for a seated picture, avoid crossing your legs at the knees or any poses that make your thighs look mashed together causing budges and cellulite. Stick to a more ladylike cross-ankle look instead.

 

7. Sit on the edge of your seat:This will keep your posture straight, keep you from slouching and make you look leaner and also more engaged in the picture.

 

8. Angle the camera down:

A top angled photo always makes you look thinner, along with being more flattering and stylized as well. 

 

9. Pick a well fitting outfit and solid colors: If you have the advantage of knowing you will be clicking a lot of pictures, wearing solid colors and choosing a well-fitted outfit can do wonders to your look, keeping you looking stylish as a bonus, throughout your day, as well.
