While we all possess various body shapes and sizes, there are a few items that we can all agree on that accentuate our physical likes and distracts attention away from our less than favorable assets. You know those items that become our absolute favorite stables because they make us look and in turn, feel our best.

If you don’t own these items, you should. If only for those days that your body isn’t cooperating with you mentally.

1.       Patterns and Prints

Patterns and prints are usually  so busy that they become the focal point of the ensemble. If you’re looking to hide unflattering mid-section fat that seemed to appear overnight, opt for a funky printed or patterned shirt. Of course insure that the bottom is less overwhelming. Even better, prints are a hot trend this fall.

2.       High-Waist Items

Maybe high waist jeans have run their fashion course, but there are other high-waist trends that have straddled their way into this season. Whether high-waist  skirts or trousers, these looks allow cover-up of an unflattering midsection and draws attention away from a unproportioned waistline. In addition, they accentuate curves in all the right places.

3.       Leggings

Besides being one of the items men love to see women in for obvious reasons, leggings can make the wearer’s physique appear leaner. Plus they’re probably one of the most comfortable piece of clothing that a woman could ever own.

4.       Jeggings

An item that over time has gone from cheap to chic, jegging can be a girls’ best friend when she wants the look of jeans but the comfort of leggings. Some even consider Jeggings to define and slim down the leg area. So in addition to comfort you get a leaner, more ‘fit’ look.

5.     Heels

One of those items that can constantly remind you of the ‘price of beauty’, heels are not only Hot, they assist in the flawless appearance of a woman’s walk, posture, and figure (if worn right).

6.     Oversized Sweaters

It’s a good thing that the utilitarian or relaxed look is a hot trend this fall. On the days when we feel ‘fat’, bloated, or just plain out of shape, oversized shirts, cardigans, and sweaters can hide our physical insecurities. From button ups worn over tees, to slouch sweaters, these items are comfortable and still Hot.
