Filed under: Clothing, Flatter Your Figure

Some women have a little junk in the trunk, but a bit of booty does not a pear make. We're talking about women who have slim shoulders, a smaller chest and torso, and then considerably wider hips, thighs, and legs. While there are some styles you should definitely shy away from, there are plenty of looks that will be just fabulous on you.

Basically, we want to simultaneously draw attention to your slimmer parts while balancing out your top and bottom. Does this mean you're resigned to a life of black slacks? Oh, hell no! You can get funky with your style as well, but we've got a few suggestions to get you started. And, by the way, black slacks aren't necessarily a bad idea.

Flatter Your Figure: Elongating a Short Torso

Filed under: Clothing, Swimwear and Lingerie, Jeans, Dresses, Flatter Your Figure


Most of us have things about our bodies we'd like to change -- you know, the grass is always greener anywhere but here, right? One of the important things to keep in mind when we're figuring out how to best disguise our least favorite body part is that there are other body parts that we do like, and so instead of just disguising, we want to look at how to draw attention elsewhere.

If your problem is a short torso, chances are that you have fairly long legs. While you don't want to wear teeny-tiny shorts around all the time to show off how long they are, keep them in mind while you shop, and don't be afraid to flaunt what you have. However, we have a few tips to help you keep your body looking proportional -- check out what we have to say in the gallery!

Flatter Your Figure: Playing up a small bust

Filed under: Clothing, Dresses, Flatter Your Figure


In middle school, being flat is a bummer. Your friends are developing and going up in bra sizes, and you are still able to wear the training bra your mom bought you two years ago. Not because you needed it, but because your friends all had them.

However, that doesn't mean you want to flaunt the fact that you're barely an A cup, so we've got some suggestions for making the most of what you've got.
