Gone are the days when we sacrificed comfort for style. If you think like Us, winter is a time to wear loose, comfortable clothing that makes you feel as cozy as can be without making you look bummy. Oh, and did we mention it should flatter your (beautiful) figure?
Fitted bodices and empire waists are well-known hacks for a flattering fit, but you don’t need anything tight on your body to have an ultra-flattering outfit; in fact, we’d argue that loose clothes can be twice as flattering as fitted ones, so long as you choose the right styles. Loose, flowy dresses are great for hiding any lumps, bumps or cellulite while lengthening the body. They’re a fashion secret that will make you the most comfortable, confident and stunning person in the room — guaranteed!
