There’s nothing quite like finding an ultra-flattering piece that makes you feel slender, feminine and chic. But we know how hard it is, especially since we’re our own biggest critics! That said, there are certain patterns, fits, styles and even colors that are more flattering than others; the right combination can elongate your midsection and hide any lumps, bumps or cellulite.
We all have different body types, however, so finding pieces that are flattering across the board is hard . . . but we’ve done it.

These pieces are designed to shave pounds off your arms, legs and midsection without sacrificing style.
Whether you’re looking for something casual to wear while running errands or something for a night out with the girls, there’s an outfit with your name on it just a few scrolls down!
