Floral Large, bold prints can camouflage your shape, and a flattering v-neck or plunging neckline draws attention to your neck, not your thighs.

Animal A striking pattern up top disguises a small bust, while a black or solid colour at the bottom will make your bottom and tummy appear smaller. A band or stripe at the waist gives definition.

Nautical Sleek, plain styles in a single colour are the most slimming, while bold monochrome horizontal patterns can help shape a boyish figure.

Stripes Stripes can change your body shape! Vertical stripes elongate the body, making you appear taller and thinner; horizontal stripes add curves. A high cut slims the hips and thighs, but if you have narrow hips, go for boy-leg bottoms.
