To elongate a voluptuous figure, opt for neutral trousers with lots of stretch. Angela Brittain, 28, a children's ministry director, attempts to minimize her chest and hips, but roomy blouses and droopy cropped pants were maximizing both. The side seams on these straight-leg pants (Magaschoni, $310) are pushed to the front, which appears to take inches off her thighs. A vivid, tailored top (Marina Rinaldi, $260) with vertical detail makes Brittain seem taller and de-emphasizes her chest. Together, the separates suit her frame. Bonus: The shirt's appliqués and scoopneck direct attention up to her face. "The blue works well with my eyes," says Brittain. Earrings, Leslie Greene. Bracelets, M.Haskell and Kara Ross NY.
