Waist-cinching belts to break the length, peplum dresses, shirt dresses, body con dresses; jumpsuits,
Use different colours for top and bottom and pair narrow bottom with wide top or vice versa.

If you are short (<5’4”)

Flare or structured pants with vertical lines and solid colour; straight or skinny denim, high waist bottoms
Pair a high-waist bottom with a tucked-in top; ankle boots, low-cut wamps or pointed toe nude shoes.

We recommend the monochrome style because sticking with one colour creates a vertical line and gives flow to your entire body.
