Printed frock
Make a printed dress your go-to for speedy dressing. Minimal effort with maximum impact, this has a shirred waist for added structure and a swishy skirt for easy movement, creating a flattering fit and flared silhouette. Incredibly versatile, wear with boots now and swap for sandals when the weather warms up.
Longline waistcoat
An on-trend waistcoat is a great alternative to a blazer. Look for a longline cut to wear open, so it skims over your hips for a slimming effect, or buttoned up with a belt for a svelte, waist-defining look. This beige style from V by Very has extra cinching points at the side for a truly fitted outline.
Trench coat
The perfect way to finish any outfit is with a timeless double-breasted trench coat, which will complement your figure whichever way you choose to wear it. Throw it on and leave it open for a figure-skimming ‘window’ effect where the eye is drawn to the narrow area beneath the open coat, or wear it belted for a more va-va-voom silhouette.
Trousers
Wide-leg trousers are a great way to lengthen your legs and balance wider hips. Highwaisted styles are a quick shortcut to add inches to your look and can be worn with trainers – or heels for the illusion of even longer pins. Team with a fitted top half to streamline your shape.
Shirt dress
A shirt dress is a great way to instantly smarten up and works for all shapes and sizes. If you’re big busted, try wearing it with a few buttons undone at the top to create a V-shaped neckline that will flatter your shape. Want to add or define curves? Swap the fabric belt for one
