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).
Trousers for Allover Control
Appear svelter in seconds with these stealth slenderizers. Trousers with a stretchy, supportive fabric glide over jiggly areas, and the foolproof fit (sleek and just slightly bootcut) flatters every figure.
Skirts for a Sexy Silhouette
High-waisted skirts are diversionary dynamos. They seem to raise the waist, make you look leggier, and hit at the narrowest part of the rib cage to emphasize curves (in a good way).
Career Blazers
Top off your look with a fitted blazer. Give an old one hanging in your closet a modern update by removing the shoulder pads.

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.
A Classic Jacket for Full Coverage
Yes, a bouclé topper is every-gal wearable. The proof: This slenderizing jacket, with its discreet pattern, subdued hues, and fitted, zippered front.
Slacks for Thinner Thighs
Pants with a button-tab waist draw attention upward, while a straight-cut leg, with one easy width from hip to hem, camouflages your problem area without adding too much volume.
Suit Yourself
A suit can make you sleeker — but only if the jacket is fitted and the pants are straight-legged.
A Tall-Order Dress
For a top half that needs extra length, reach for pieces with eye-fooling effects. A deep V-neck empire dress (the waist hits just under the bust) pulls attention upward, while a banded-hem shirt, worn untucked, elongates the torso.
Sheath Chic
An asymmetrical structured dress with lining streamlines your silhouette. Shiny patent pumps and a purse are all you need to go from the corner office to cocktails.
Pants for Minimizing
Hips Take curves undercover with herringbone trousers. The higher waist, the pocket-free front, and the skinny self-belt all work to create an unbroken line — and a sophisticated, slim silhouette.
Distract with Details
Slacks for Long Gams
Taller, slimmer, leggier: That's how you'll appear in smartly pared-down trousers. With no pockets and no pleats, flat-front slacks (left) create a lithe line that subtracts pounds. Pick pants that start slightly above your natural waist and extend all the way to your shoe tops (right), so gams look miles long.
Emphasize Your Assets
A knee-length, A-line skirt made of a structured fabric minimizes thighs and shows off shapely calves.
Love-Your-Body Skirts
Play up hourglass curves — without overemphasizing them — in these two classic styles. Proof that a pencil skirt, right, can be wearable: This precisely tailored stretch number, with a wide self-belt that cinches snugly. The wool gauze A-line, left, balances ample hips with vertical-seamed panels and a floaty, flared hem. Bonus: Wearing a hefty man's watch makes any wrist seem minuscule.
