Dress to Impress: Flattering Clothing Options to Show Off Your Best Assets!

Posted Wednesday July 4, 2012 9:22 AM GMT

From mega-toned arms and teeny tiny waistlines to killer gams and statuesque shoulders, we all have something we’re proud of and want to show off – and why not?!

Whether it all comes naturally (must be nice) or you spend countless hours at the gym to maintain a girlish figure, that svelte frame shouldn’t be kept under wraps – especially during summer!

If you’re wondering how to tastefully show off a particular asset, listen up. There are certain articles of clothing and accessories you can wear to appropriately feature a certain area(s) you’re proud of!

Here are our suggestions:

Toned Arms & Shoulders: The underarm area is one of the hardest areas on a woman’s body to tone up! So, more power to you if you’ve achieved some ladylike guns! To show them off, opt for thin-strap tanks, strapless tops and even maxi dresses. All of these options will highlight your upper body area, showing off those stellar arms and shoulders!

Tiny Waistline: Cinching is your FRIEND! Any belted ensemble will look dynamite on you as it will accentuate the smallest area on your body as well as create a sexy hourglass frame, and who doesn’t love that? We also love the look of corset and bandeau tops for you. Pair these with a high-waisted skirt or shorts to make your teeny waistline the center of attention!

Washboard Abs: First of all, if we had rock-hard abs, we’d just strut around town in a bathing suit all day. However, you know what they say, “No shirt, no shoes, no service.” So, covering up is essential (and more socially acceptable). So, cropped tops are the key words here. Loose fitting versions are nice because they subtly show off your assets, rather than forcibly putting them on display. Again, bandeau and corset tops are fitting for you as well, as they will flatter your chiseled bod.

Toned Legs & Thighs: Looks like those spinning class are paying off! (yay!) The options here are pretty obvious – shorts, shorts, shorts! High waisted, cutoffs or regular cuts – it doesn’t matter – all of these styles are perfect to don if you want to show off those killer gams! We also like the look of high-low skirts. They are a more subtle option; yet still get the job done. One last item to don would be wedges! The perfect summer shoe, these babies will elongate legs and cause your toned muscles to become accentuated as well – showing off all your hard work!
