A thin waist makes the figure more feminine and graceful, adds curves to the body and brings the figure closer to the hourglass type. If you did not get a naturally thin waist - it is not a reason to worry, because it is easy to make it thinner with a few simple style tricks.
Ways to make your waist look thinner:
In addition to 9 ways, corsets and corrective underwear can also help create a narrow waist. These methods are not recommended on a permanent basis, since overstretching the waist leads to a disruption of blood flow.
Clothing with a high fit is an effective way to visually reduce the waist. Due to the accent created by the belt it looks narrower and more emphasized, and brings the silhouette closer to the hourglass body type.

With a high waist can be any option for the bottom:
Allowed and fashionable jumpsuits, in which the belt is placed not at the level of the hips, but above.

Christian Dior knew exactly how to visually correct a figure with clothes. He invented the new look skirt - a flared sun skirt with a high waistline.

Due to the volume in the lower part of the figure, the top looks more elegant, and high rise emphasizes the waist, making it visually slim.
Giovanna Battaglia
The length of the skirt can be anything - just below the knee, as Dior willed, or shorter.
Another way to tighten the waist without a corset is to use a belt. Place the accessory at the narrowest part of the torso and not a centimeter above or below. Straying from this rule, you will get the opposite effect - an enlarged waist and lack of curves. The belt helps to fit things around the figure and not let them blur the waist.

It is important that this method is suitable only for those girls who have a waist and want to highlight it. If you do not have a waist - look at other ways.

The width of the strap also matters. If you have a small belly, give preference to thin and medium straps. If there is no belly, you can use any strap, including a very wide one.
To accentuate the waist and hide the belly will help a striped print. It can be a vertical stripe - it will additionally make you visually taller, or diagonal. Stripes on the abdomen and waist create the illusion of slimness.

But it is better to avoid horizontal lines in the upper part of the figure - they will make the waist wider and emphasize the bulky belly.
V-necklines on dresses, blouses and tops are great for girls who have beautiful breasts, but the waist is not as thin as needed.

If you have wide hips and narrow shoulders, as in a pear body shape, change the colors in places - wear white on top and black at bottom.
