    If you want to slim the hips…

    Don't go wild on bottom.
    The less going on there, well-the less going on there!

    Do bring focus up
    with a top in a lighter color, or with fun details or a pretty pattern.

    Do go for a fairly high-cut bottom
    to create the illusion of longer, leaner legs.

    If you want to flatter your curves…

    Don't run from stripes.
    Just be sure they're vertical or angled across your body.

    Don't say no to bikinis.
    Just avoid thin string ties, which can dig and create bulges.
