Wow in a cozy scarf
Subtracts 10 lbs
Worn open, a shapeless coat with a bold print causes the eye to scan all over, adding bulk. But a tailored, button-down style directs focus vertically for a slimming effect from head to toe.
Erases curves
The 3D look of a textured, boxy blouse draped over a busily patterned ruffled skirt magnifies the middle, accentuates hips and thickens thighs.
Carves out an hourglass
Tucking a fitted top into a sleek skirt shows off a nipped-in waist and highlights feminine curves. Bonus: A high-waisted skirt that hits below the knee “stretches” legs so they look miles long.
Looks long and lean
Even belted, a flowy maxi with billowy sleeves overwhelms the body, adding optical heft. The fix: A figure-hugging wrapstyle dress streamlines the silhouette for a trim and statuesque line.
