slenderizing

Reducing body width

Slenderizing means making something appear thinner or more slender.

The word almost always describes clothing, colors, or styling choices that create a leaner silhouette: Black is supposed to be slenderizing, a slenderizing vertical stripe.

Less commonly, it can mean actually reducing in size, as with a diet or exercise program.
