The illusion of a waistline can be created by defining the smallest area of your abdomen with accessories and styling.
This creates curves at the waist and hip.
To create a waistline, you can:
– Wear longer tops to lengthen your torso.
Tops should flare from the waist and end below the hipline.
It will draw attention away from your shoulders and into your waist and hips.
– Belt your clothes at your natural waistline.
Buy waist-tie tops. They are specifically constructed to create a more defined waist.
Alternatively, you can use any belt on top of your garments.
– Tight-fitted tops look flattering but must be paired with waist-fitted bottoms that add volume to the legs.
