Pay attention to special detailing and patterns that define the waist, like a cummerbund or pattern detail. Look for a suit with tummy control or one made of Slendertex fabric. Remember that deeper shades on the bottom are visual minimizers, while lighter shades or designs on top draw the eye upward. Shop for suits with attention-getting details like front zippers to bring the eye upward. Look for suits with tummy control to smooth midriff and provide supportive control.
Vertical lines slim the torso and create the illusion of height.
The secret of styling The last thing a woman should focus on, which too often is the first, is the area she'd like to downplay. Learning how to camouflage and de-emphasize these areas are made easier today with the wide selection of silhouettes, fabrics and styling offered by Lands' End. For instance, halter necklines and patterns on the bodice draw the eye up, away from the hips. Textured fabric like nylon and spandex faille with its vertical ribbing elongates the torso and smoothes out the extra curves. For those who bypassed the gym this winter, look for a suit with tummy control or one made of special fabric like Lands' End's Slendertex.
