Cinch in your waist
I always say a belt is every girl's best friend. Wrap one around your favorite summer dress and you’ll look instantly trimmer! Forever21.com, $6
Perk your butt
Look for a pair of pants or jeans that features wide, high back pockets that sit up a little higher and closer to the waistband. They’ll make your butt look like you’ve been doing squats for weeks! Levi.com, $50
Tone your arms
Self conscious about your shoulders? Don’t stress! Look for a blouse with flowy sleeves that hit around your elbows. It will give the illusion of slimmer and toner arms. Nordstrom.com, $48
Lengthen your legs
Everyone knows a pair of heels can make legs look longer and leaner, but if sky-high tacones aren’t really your thing, try some wedge sandals instead. Try a pair that wraps around the ankle to help draw attention to your calves and away from your thighs. Stevemadden.com, $80
Get a flat tummy
Smooth your torso area and flatten your pesky pancita with a control cami. You can layer them under denims vest or light summer cardigans and pair it with your favorite skirts and shorts. JcPenney.com, $32
Push up
There’s a reason why push up bras exist: To give your boobs lift and a rounder looking shape. Look for one that includes comfortable underwire cups and invisible technology that won't cause any cutting or bumps underneath your clothing. Victoriassecret.com, $48
