When the weather outside is frigidly frightful, we naturally go for the warmest coat in our closet: a.k.a. the puffer. Comfy? Oh, yes. Flattering? Ehh...

No more Michelin Women here! We've got five slimming, sexy tricks to help you make it through the winter months in style.
1. Good rule of thumb: The more volume you're wearing, the taller you should aim to appear. Besides sporting heels, consider wearing vertical striped clothing, head-to-toe clothing in a single color (besides black, red is a great slimming color), and jeans or pants with a bellbottom or flare to give the illusion of a longer leg.
2. Belts are your best friends—they instantly slim you down! A thick one will give you an hourglass figure and add a chic finishing touch to your outerwear look.
3. One of the best ways to look slimmer is to dress in only two colors—the eye gravitates to the lighter color, which gives the illusion of a trimmer frame. A black and white combo works best, but any complementary parings work. So if you have a classic black puffy coat, try it over a white blouse, open in the front and with a pair of fitted pants. Add a pop a color with a bag, shoe, or handbag.
4. Even when wearing a giant puffer, you need to keep your proportions in mind. If you're wearing something that's fuller on top, pare down your bottom. Your favorite skinny jeans will help you pull off the bulkier look you've got going on on top.
5. If you haven't bought your puffer yet, keep this tip in mind while you shop: Coats that hit just above the knee also make you look thinner by covering the thighs and exposing only the slimmer portions of the leg.
