Straight

Key Points:

• This can be the most versatile as well as the most frustrating body type to style.
• Because you have basically non-existent hips, you need to add curves or just focus more attention on your shapely bust area.
• You will also need to create a waist.

---

Best Pants:

• You can wear anything! including cigarette and skinny style pants.
• With jeans, look for a slightly higher waist that will create more curves on your hips, very low-rise jeans styles on boyish shapes only exaggerate the straight line from your waist through your hips.

---

Best Skirts:

• Again, you can wear almost any style skirt, just pay attention to details like pockets and contoured waistbands that can add definition to your waist and shape to your hips.
• Soft pleats and gathering under the waistband styles are the best choice for you.

---

Best Dresses:

• Anything will work here, in varying lengths to accentuate your slim legs. from a straight tunic-type dress to a fitted shirt dress, you can pull off almost anything.
• A belt around the waist will help to define it and give the illusion of hips.

---

Best Tops:

• Because your shoulders are a little wider, you should avoid boatnecks, square necks or stripes near your neck or shoulders--they will make your shoulders seem more wide.
• V-neck shirts and sweaters are a natural option for you--they fit your shoulders and taper a bit at the waist to create more shape.
