How to wear Acid Wash Jeans: One heck of a statement piece that needs to be toned down with a basic tee and sandals. Beware, the jeans effect draw attention to your legs and hips and can make them look wider than they really are. How to wear High Waist: This re-occurring trend has become a must-own for women who love the waist cinching style! You can find high waist in all bottom clothings like skirts, pants, jeans and shorts. Look up-to-date and chic by pairing up high waist jeans with a cute blouse or a basic tee. Don't forget your jewelry! Jumpsuits
Ooooh yeahÂ… These hot stuffs both short and long have made their way back into the limelight.
You don't have to weigh 99 pounds for this look, the monochromatic suit itself will flatter your
body shape -
elongating and slimming every part of your body.
How to wear it: These look awesome with strappy sandals and bright-colored purse and/or jacket. Choose dark solid colored jumpsuits like black, dark brown, dark navy blue or olive green. If you choose to wear short jumpsuits make sure they fall right above your knees for for the ultimate flattering look. Body Con/Bandage Dress
Very hot. These 80s dresses will shape your body sexily.
You will look at your butt in a whole new light!
How to wear it: Less is more, but who are we kidding. Bandage/body con dresses are meant to show off your curves from head to toe (not literally)!

For a more covered look you can also choose body con dresses with sleeves or with boatneck. Corset
Vampy trend? Faaaar from it :-) Corsets in simple and tasteful designs are one of the biggest hits this season.
These chest flattering pieces will add a feminine yet subtle sexy flair to your outfits.

How to wear it: Sheer fabrics are made to be worn with a pretty bra or camisole underneath. But do not, in any circumstances make it obvious for others that you're just wearing a bra underneath it.
