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!

TorsoPants, like t-shirts but different (somehow)

Filed under: Style in the News, Clothing, Men


What the hell is a TorsoPant?

TorsoPants are pants that have been specifically designed to be worn on your torso, instead of from the waist down. Unlike pants, they have a hole for your head. Like T-shirts, TorsoPants are soft, lightweight and are usually made from 100% cotton.

They sound amazing don't they? To be honest, I can't tell the difference between a TorsoPant and a t-shirt, but as you know I'm simple. Luckily, the company TorsoPants can tell the difference and for a small fee will sell you one (a pair?). I know, it sounds like a gimmick, but look, I have pictures!
