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.

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.
