Waist me!

This post is made upon the request of my friend despina who was asking me what clothes to wear so her waist look narrower. There are some tricks which i use too, even if my waist is well defined, because with some of them you can hide your tummy!!

The perception of your waist is determined almost entirely by the clothes you wear, so you can emphasize, and even create, a narrow waist simply by picking the appropriate clothes.

Draw attention to your waist with belts and dresses that pinch at the mid-section. If you have a straight shape, this is a must because it'll create the illusion of curves. If you have a pear or hourglass shape, this will accentuate your existing curves.

• Avoid this, though, if you have an apple shape (which means you have a thick waist, or you put on weight easily there)--wear tops that "drape" over any love handles, like tunics and flowy tops with an empire waist (the waist begins just below the bust and flows outwards).

• Dresses or tops that wrap around your waist and cross over your chest are only a good idea if you have an ample bust; otherwise it can make your bust look disproportionately tiny (if you're pear-shaped) or your chest and shoulders look flat and square (if you're straight-shaped).
