Want to show off your gorgeous curves? Our fashion expert's tips will show you what to wear to flatter your body shape

Style tips to flatter your curvy body shape

- Wide leg style trousers are super flattering for curvy figures. Make sure they are perfectly cut around the waist ensuring that no extra bulk is added. Avoid flared styles that add unnecessary shape to your silhouette.


- Emphasise your curves with dresses that are knee length and nipped in or belted at the waist. Remember to keep the neckline low to break up your bust.

- Choosing clothing made from supportive fabric is best. Avoid loose flowing fabrics that will swamp your figure and go for ones that show off your curves!

- Curvy figured ladies look fabulous in pencil skirts! Just make sure you stick to plain ones in block colour. Belt it to emphasise your waist.
