It’s pretty hard to maintain a beach bod year round (…or ever) so I’m all about finding those form flattering pieces that give just the right illusion. It’s all about knowing your body…or better yet, knowing what you want to hide.
This particular silhouette is by far my favorite and I insist it works with a huge range of body shapes. The deep V creates the feeling of an elongated torso while the loose sleeves give balance so there isn’t too much skin showing. And of course, a waist tie is never a bad idea – it’s almost like the modern version of a corset to keep it all in.
If a playsuit isn’t your thing, you can easily recreate this shape by pairing a deep V, loose sleeve (long or short) top with a high waisted skater skirt (the ones that bell out at the bottom). Essentially what you’re going for here is an hourglass shape. I’ve linked some options below to give a better sense of what I’m talking about. Happy browsing!
