A voluminous skirt hides larger thighs and makes your waist look "tiny by default," says Adam. How to Wear It: A fitted top always works, though a chunky sweater is a fun alternative. Full skirts look especially pretty with pointy flats and kitten heels. If You're Short: Match the color of your tights to your heels. If You're Tall: Anything shorter than knee length looks juvenile. What to Avoid: Boxy tops and full coats and jackets. Sweater, August Silk, $68. Skirt, Eva Franco, $320. Purse, Marc Jacobs. Ring, Anna Pellissari. Watch, Michael Kors. Bangles, Varelli and R.J.
