Meghan Markle has made it clear that she's not going to pressure herself to get back in shape quickly after her pregnancy. While the Duchess of Sussex maintains an exercise routine and eats a balanced diet, she isn't on any strict diet and hasn't hesitated to pose naturally after giving birth, with a bit of a bump (as is normal) and a few extra pounds. How can you visually slim your figure while your body recovers at its own pace? We've compiled the foolproof style tricks of Prince Harry's wife. The choice of a particular fabric or accessory can make all the difference. Meghan is living proof.
OPT FOR MONO-COLOR OUTFITS
Elegant, versatile, and perfect for slimming the silhouette. It's no wonder black is one of Pantone's favorite colors for fashion. Opt for a head-to-toe look, in this or another shade, and visually lengthen your figure. Choosing a single piece, like a jumpsuit, also helps achieve this look. A tip? Opt for a flowing trouser style.
V-NECK
Key trends and foolproof tips come together in this Meghan Markle outfit, one of our favorites. In addition to the benefits of monochromatic looks described earlier, the Duchess of Sussex adds a V-neck, the most flattering if you want to look slimmer. Another trick to visually slim the silhouette is to wear a high-waisted pencil skirt. This season, leather ones are the most coveted.
A MATTER OF FOOTWEAR
Footwear is another detail that matters (a lot) when creating a perfectly flattering look. Which shoes are the most flattering? Those with a thin heel and an elongated toe. An extra tip courtesy of Meghan: with skirts or dresses, choose nude pumps; the effect of endless legs is undeniable.
STRIPES
Although solid colors are the Duchess of Sussex's clear favorites, prints occasionally take center stage in her looks. This is the case with this long dress, where the interplay of stripes (she always opts for vertical ones) and color palettes combines to define the waist and create a more streamlined silhouette.
BEWARE OF OVERSIZED CLOTHES
One of the most common style mistakes is trying to conceal a tummy and extra weight with excessively baggy garments, achieving the opposite effect. Dare to show off your curves with a fitted dress. A tip: choose a tailored cut and a knee-length hem.
