Structured works best
✓ Looks tall and trim
A blazer that fans out at the hips paired with wide-leg pants that flare at the ankles pulls the eye out, widening the body’s lower half. The fix? The uninterrupted line of a straight, structured style directs focus up and down for a long, lean appearance.
✗ Magnifies the middle
Wide pleats and a thick, bowed belt on a skirt that rests at the hips creates a middle-thickening effect that adds optical inches to even the tiniest of waists.
