RULES TO DRESS BY

Form fitting. Defined waist. Solid colors.  

Do Flaunt that Waist - Garments that are nipped at the waist and are narrow at the knee.  Wrap dresses and blouses.  Tailored pieces with an a-line silhouette.

Do Elongate - Pieces that have clean lines and vertical detailing. Skirts and dresses with slits to show off your legs. Slim-cut pants.  Monochromatic (one color) separates or color blocking in all the right places to accentuate your assets. V-neck tops or any top that reveals skin at the collarbone, shoulder or cleavage.

Don't Dramatise those Curves - Nothing too tight, over-sized or made with a very thin fabric. Say no to jackets that button too loosely at the waist and garments that have over-exaggerated shapes.

Spring 2012 Trend: How to wear the Peplum

Jason Wu

I love the peplum, it is so versatile- it can look sweet, sultry, or modern. Are you questioning the wear-ability of the peplum? Don't worry, you don't have to be a supermodel to pull it off. 

• Be sure your outfit has a defined waist so the peplum flares over your hips to give the illusion of an hourglass figure.
• If wearing a jacket or blouse with a peplum, wear fitted pants or a pencil skirt.  It will balance out the volume. 
• Depending on the length of the peplum and how fit your butt and thighs are, you can wear a peplum with leggings. If your butt and thighs are worthy, wear a peplum that covers just the top section of your bottom.  If you need a little gym time, wear a peplum that covers your entire bottom and balance it out with a pair of boots.
• For a more casual look, wear a loose peplum blouse with fitted, high-waisted shorts or pair with bright colored jeans/leather pants.
