Look Leaner Instantly: Fall Fashion Tricks

by Nicole Brewer

The secret to looking leaner instantly is choosing the right style for your body type. This fall, it’s all about sophisticated silhouettes, luxurious fabrics and rich colors that will get you noticed. Here are my favorite tips and trends to make the season’s hottest fashion work for you.

Short Sweaters & Jackets
Cropped jackets and sweaters are hot for fall and can make you look leaner. They hit just at the waist, defining the midsection by drawing the eye to the narrow part of your middle–creating a waist-cinching effect to effortlessly drop a dress size instantly.

Style DB5200

The Monochromatic Look
It’s all about color, especially with red, cobalt and black taking center stage this season. This long column dress is all one color, elongating the body for a slimmer you.

Style F14336

The Cinch
Textured or embellished, wide or skinny, waist cinching wraps and belts work every
time.

Style G21407

Strategic Color Blocking
The color blocking trend continues into fall with rich jewel tones and classic color combos. This high waisted gown gives the illusion of a smaller waistline while the darker skirt helps to make legs look longer and leaner.

Style 6432412

Style Tip: Shop for Smart Shapewear
Controlling your curves is simple: find the right shapewear. Choose a comfortable, high-waisted panty with lycra or spandex to smooth out your torso, regardless of your size. The newest shapewear designs guarantee that your clothes will fit better, without clinging.

Katrina’s Fashionable Vacation to Mexico!
by Katrina Mitzeliotis

After Fashion Week and awards season come to an end, it’s the perfect time to get away and relax—and that’s just what I did! I headed to the Moon Palace Resort in Cancun for a few days, where I enjoyed the weather and a slew of activities. While packing can be a pain, I was excited to get away and show off some of the spring trends that I haven’t been able to break out just yet.

First Night

Our first night, we went to dinner. I opted for a floral strapless dress with an asymmetrical hemline. Florals are everywhere this season, and I love how you can easily take a floral dress and dress it up or down. The strapless style and the gathering under the bust is so flattering on a variety of shapes, and it really enhances my waist.

Get the look with this printed David’s Bridal dress.

Day 2: Sail fishing!

On our second day, we were up bright and early for sail fishing. I kept it casual, throwing on a white belted cover-up over my striped bathing suit. A tribal beach bag completed my look. Whether I’m getting all dressed up or keeping it casual, I almost always cinch in my waist to enhance my shape. Belting adds a nice touch to formal dresses—and that’s exactly what you can achieve with this sash.

Style O2304

Night 2: Cocktail party!

On our second night, we headed over to the exquisite Le Blanc hotel for a cocktail party, so I wanted to get a bit more dressed up. Spring is all about color, and my one-shoulder dress exhibits this trend perfectly! I color blocked with my accessories, pairing the dress with bright yellow pumps and a blue envelope clutch. I swept my hair to one side to keep the focus on the frock.

This vibrant one-shoulder dress is perfect for a cocktail party or summer wedding.

Night 3: At the Enrique concert!

On our third night, we headed over to an Enrique Iglesias concert. Since I knew we would be standing, I ditched my pumps and opted for flat sandals and a printed dress. I accessorized with my blue envelope clutch. An unexpected pop of color is a great way to add a trendy spring vibe to any outfit—even if you’re heading out for a more formal occasion.

Looking to dress up your formal outfit? I love this fun and flirty rosette clutch.

Day 4: Heading home!

We left Cancun bright and early, and I kept my outfit comfortable for the flight home. A flowing striped skirt that I love to wear on lazy summer days got a fresh update, thanks to my bright sleeveless top. Tangerine seems to be everywhere this season, and I love how it highlighted my tan! A long sweater kept me warm on the plane, while my hat concealed my hair from the night before.

This bright shade is perfect for prom or your next event—nothing says summer like a vibrant color!
