"Find me a suit that Fits."
Shakira Chin, 30, is a size 8 on top and a 12 on bottom—and her before suit wasn’t flattering anything. The boy shorts cut across her hips and emphasized them; the string top made her shoulders seem more narrow. To the rescue? Separates in two different sizes! The higher-cut briefs of her “after” suit minimize her hips while the white-edged halter draws attention up. Voila—Shakira’s balanced. “I look and feel amazing,” she says.
The Dos & Don’ts of slimming 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.
