Here are some fashion strategies that can help you look EXTRA sleek, slender, and smart at every workday and even on dress-down-Fridays!
1. Stop hiding in layers.
A figure hidden in yards of fabric always looks bigger. If you're trying to cover some skin and bulge, make sure to wear something just right - not too big or not too small. Unless it's your pullover day. ;)

2. Think vertical.
Seams, stripes, or a deep v-neck all stretch you out. Be careful of anything horizontal.

3. Find the most flattering skirt length for your shape.
Look in the mirror and take note of the slimmest area around your knee -- that's where your hemline should hit.

4. Emphasize your strongest body feature.
If it's your waist, your neck, or your shoulder, go for it! Remember to use color and pattern to bring the gaze towards your best asset.

5. Refrain from wearing stretch cotton or thin fabrics that will show every bulge.
Use drapes and patterns to draw the eye away from trouble spots.

Make sure it stretches enough that your legs won't look like they're fighting to break free from your pants!

It's also common knowledge that black does wonders for trimming figures and it's appropriate for almost every OOTD! While that's true, as women, we also love colors, patterns, and styling - that means we don't have to stick with black all the time to look slender and smart.
So there! We hope these simple tips inspire you to be more adventurous and unafraid of showing off what you've got.
