Whether you're a size 6 or a size 16, you probably have "fat" days. And everyone has fat outfits, fat shirts, fat pants, and even, on occasion, fat hair.

Maybe you haven't exercised in a while, or maybe you had too much salt for dinner last night. If you've ever woken up in the morning feeling the bloat - or the fat, as the case may be - and if you've ever had the haunting feeling that your existing wardrobe isn't exactly doing wonders for your figure, this book is for you.

Divided into 25 short chapters under four sections (Edit Your Closet, Occasion Dressing, Beauty, and Looking Great for Dates) How Not to Look Fat offers cutting-edge fashion tips on how to maximize your slimming potential, from banishing back fat and finding flattering gym clothes, to getting the right haircut and smelling thinner (yes, there's a scientifically proven way).

You'll learn tricks for looking thinner in all situations, whether you're on the beach, at a family dinner, or going out on the town. With tips from fashion insiders, as well as sidebars on what specific brands and items work best, this is the first comprehensive package on defeating fat that encourages women to enjoy their figures, not take dieting (and life) too seriously, and have fun with their wardrobes and make-up. 176 pages. Softcover. 2006.
