Wrap dress
Wrap dresses do a great job at camouflaging less toned areas(think pesky belly). The belt helps accentuate the waist, making it appear smaller.

Trouser jeans
Dark bootleg trouser jeans are universally flattering. They hug you in all the right places, help tuck in your tummy, and give a long, lean appearance. My favorite part? All you need is a festive blouse and some sky-high heels for an instantly party-ready look.

Illusion color-block dress
The black panels on this structured dress creates the illusion of a slimmer and more narrow figure. I’d add a pair of nude pointy heels to further elongate your torso.

Pencil skirt
This elegant lace pencil skirt works perfectly for any holiday party. It will also do wonders on your figure, as it minimizes thighs but shows off curves and shapely calves.

Add a belt
When it comes to accentuating your waist, a fine belt can really make all the difference. It not only nips at the waist, but gives the illusion of an hourglass figure. I love the way this thin black belt complements this red holiday-friendly peplum dress.

It’s no secret black makes you look slimmer. So if all else fails and you can’t find something that instantly slims you for that next holiday event, opt for a classic little black dress. This closet must-have will never do you wrong.
