These foolproof styles work every time, for any body type and occasion.

Comfy Cardigans

Slenderize with fine-textured knits that skim trouble spots but still show your shape. Highlight the thinnest part of your torso — right below the bust — with a single strategically placed button (camel cardigan, left). Choose a V-neck with body-conscious ribbing where you want attention and a generous hemline where you don't (gray V-neck, middle). Select a cardigan that is part shawl, part sweater and artfully drapes around a problematic midsection (red option, right).

Haute Heavyweights

Wear pants in a heavier fabric like wool gabardine or cotton twill. These materials drape in a flattering way.

A Versatile Top-and-Bottom Combo

A short-sleeve crew-neck sweater paired with an A-line skirt slims your silhouette and creates a feminine look that works whether you're at the office or going out on a dinner date.

Distract with Details

An interesting neckline (like this ruffled one) draws the eye away from your hips and tummy.
