4 TOP TOOLS FOR STYLING CURVES

1. Tailored shoes

Curvy gals tend to have curvy feet too, so instead of painfully sieving through shoes at regular retailers, why not hit up some of the cracker brands out there that actually cater for wide feet? Ziera, Shoes of Prey, Easy Steps and Bared are all fantastic options.

2. Shaping shorts

Make these your new best friend! Shaping shorts slim and firm from the stomach through to the thighs, creating an all-round fix for this troublesome area. Always choose shorts over briefs to avoid a visible panty line and eliminate any thigh bulge. If you’re worried they look a bit too unsexy, try a pair with a hint of lace.

3. Cinching band

New N on the market, the Wonder Clip is clipped onto your clothes to cinch them in all the right places and give your body more shape. Recommended placements are a) waist level on your back, cinching t the waistline to create an hourglass figure, b) under the bust to accentuate it and make it the focus, and c) on the hemline above one knee to ruche the fabric and create movement in the skirt. The b band is designed to be visible, but can be easily concealed with a jacket.

4. 4 Statement jewellery

Shine bright like a diamond! Statement pieces such as necklaces and earrings are a fabulous way to draw attention away from problem areas and highlight your face like a halo. There’s no need to spend a fortune either – Colette by Colette Hayman, Lovisa, Kmart and Pop Rock Park all have great options that won’t hurt your wallet.
