Get the Look!

Dressing for your shape goes beyond knowing what works on top and bottom. It’s about putting all the separates together with figure-flattering success! For starters, a sophisticated palette of rich jewel tones and a base of tried-and-true black can hide figure flaws and also bring attention to your hourglass figure. The silky tie belt softly shapes the waist and frames the body, without straying from a simply chic approach to special occasion dressing.

Outerwear

A black leather jacket is a wardrobe-essential for every woman – especially this season! Look for a jacket that’s tailored through the waist and slightly longer in the hip for a dressier feel, but stay away from breast pockets that can make you look even more top heavy. Military-inspired extra detailing such as epaulets on the shoulders and buckles at the cuffs are a beautiful bonus.
