It’s A Cinch

It’s no wonder oversized and relaxed pieces are a staple in many people’s wardrobes, but the harsh truth is that they’re not always flattering for all figures, and unless you’re lucky enough to be statuesque, it’s all too easy to look underdressed. Thankfully, there are ways to instantly add definition to relaxed pieces without needing to trade away your comfort. Tie-front dresses, tops, skirts and pants have that feature built right in, but if your dress or top doesn’t come pre-cinched, there’s always a way to do it yourself with minimal fuss—you can either bunch up a long shirt and tie the hems together, use a belt, or for a touch of luxe, fasten your dress or top with a long silk scarf.
