The Clothes Diet

If you're bigger on the bottom...

Don't try to hide your "problem areas" with long shirts or jackets; you'll only make your legs look shorter. Shorter tops (ending above the hip) that enhance your waistline are the way to go for you. The one must-have item is a non-pleated pair of trousers that sits at the top of the hip and has a mid-width leg. Always go with a pointy shoe (fun prints are a good thing)—you'll add instant legginess.
