Continued from How to Lose 5 Pounds.

Want to lose 5 pounds a week? But what if you don’t want to diet and exercise? Can you still do it? These simple tricks will have you looking trim and fab in a pinch.

Voluminous dresses are fun. Go for short or knee-length styles; longer ones will add bulk.

Accessorize according to your size, if you’re petite, go small. If you’re curvier, try something chunkier.

Avoid clingy or oversized tees and dresses.

Go for sharp, monochromatic colors to elongate your figure instead of blocks of color that will break up your silhouette.

Floral prints are in, the smaller the better.

Avoid horizontal stripes, which make you look wider. Go for vertical stripes that give you the illusion of being tall and slender.

Wide-leg pants are hot right now. If you’re tall, you can go really wide; petites should try a more tapered flare.

Dark-wash jeans will give you a leaner look than light-wash or distressed jeans.

With shorts, opt for lengths according to your size. If you’re petite, go shorter. If you’re curvier, Bermuda-length flatters best.

Cropped jackets are perfect for cool summer nights. Pick a style that hits at your hips so it won’t cut you off.
