Hi Nina, thanks for your question! Based on your description, it sounds like you have an hourglass figure. Accentuate your shape with a nipped-in coat. A great trench coat or an A-line coat with a belt, for example, will flatter your figure nicely. Avoid long coats, which swallow small frames. Instead, stick with a cut that hits right below the hips or an inch or two below that, but remains above the knee.

Nina, since you're petite and describe yourself as more bottom-heavy than vice versa, try these suggestions:

• If you're wearing jeans, opt for a dark rinse, slightly flared or boot-cut fit.
• Opt for an A-line skirt, which gently flares out and minimizes the appearance of trouble spots.
• Wrap dresses are a cinch in just about any situation: They're eternally flattering and adjustable to fit you just right.
• V-neck tops are great for broad shoulders. Opt for tops that are either wrist- or hip-length - no shorter or longer.
• Heels add length and create the illusion of an elongated figure.
