If your gym attendance has been a little lapse lately, but you still yearn for that waspy waist to die for, take a tip out of actress Liv Tyler’s fashion book and opt for the latest thing in fashion trickery – side panelled dresses.
The clever black panels draw the eye inwards, giving the illusion of a narrower waist and a slimmer silhouette. And you don’t need to be a movie star to create the grand illusion – Head to M&S and a chic white colour block shift dress and trick your way to a slimmer look for only €50.
Alternatively, why not try the beige square neck Magi Sculpt dress from Marisota. Throw on a black blazer or cardigan for the office and then simply remove it for a dressier evening event - for two looks in one, it’s a great buy at €69.
If you have a petite, rectangle or boyish figure the black and pink sleeveless dress from Pilot is ideal as it accentuates the waist and shoulders with black waist detailing to give you the illusion of more curves. Pick yours up online now for €35.
Looking slim and stylish has never been easier.
