Style Advice
Fabrics
- Because of your strong shoulder line and curves, non-bulky double knits, jerseys and crepes capture your shape beautifully.
- Keep fabrics, designs and cuts well-fitted and defined; double knits in simple cuts without too much volume can be divine.
Jackets & Tops
- Look for jackets in fitted cuts, nipped or defined at the waist and with narrow lapels.
- A simple one-button jacket with slender lapels and princess seaming elegantly skims your curves.
- Shawl-collar jackets lengthen the line and soften your curves.
Necklines
- Lots of open necklines; deep V, U and scoop necklines flatter your shape.
- Surplice (mock wrap) and full wrap styles enhance your curves.
Skirts & Dresses
- Sarong styles look wonderful, as do pencil skirts with a back kick pleat.
- Indulge in princess seaming on a dress to outline your curves.
- Soft A-lines and gored, flared skirts flatter by balancing your shoulder line.
- Wrap A-line dresses perfectly hug your shape.
- Fitted sheaths that just skim the body are lovely.
Pants
- Plain-front pants with a flared or boot-cut leg. Width at pant hem should be as wide as the hip.
- Simple, boot-cut slacks elongate the leg while flattering curves.
- Pant hems that skim the top of the heel keep the leg looking long.
Trims & Details
- Keep pockets subtle and soft.
- Cuffs on trousers are always a good idea if your legs are long.
Wrap and A-line dresses in jersey or crepe are a no-brainer for figure-flattering femininity.
