Style SOS: Dressing to define your waist
Whether you’re plus size or petite, or even both, there are a few ways to define your waist to create a more hourglass shape. (Many of the tips for the apple shape apply as well.)
- On top, define your shoulders with jackets or blazers. Create emphasis across the narrowest part of your torso with a belt or empire-waist blouse.
- On bottom, look for shapes that are narrower at the waist and wider at the bottom, like A-line and flare skirts, or trousers with wider legs, like bootcuts.
Play around with the proportions until you find a combination that suits you best. (Then go back to your closet and re-assess. Now that you know what works, it’s the perfect time to edit out the clothes that don’t flatter!)
