You don’t need a full body makeover to achieve an hourglass figure. As any fashion pro will tell you, the secret is in the styling! Certain articles of clothing can help to accentuate your hips and bust while simultaneously slimming your middle. Details such as patterns, cutouts, ruching and more allow you to play around with proportions, creating the illusion of eye-catching curves.

We gathered the most flattering picks on Amazon — all of which happen to be extra cozy and perfect for cooler weather. So, without further ado, let’s jump in!

Dresses

1. Ribbed Knit: Slim-fitting and chic, this mock neck sweater dress is as trendy as it is flattering. We adore the mid-calf length!

2. Pretty Pleats: A wrap tie, V-neck and pleated skirt are just a few highlights that visually elongate your legs and torso.

3. Empire Waist: It’s no wonder reviewers can’t get enough of Dokotoo’s lantern-sleeve mini! The smocked bodice frames your midsection without highlighting it.

4. New Favorite: It’s shiny, it’s sleek, it’s sexy and it’s everything you want for your next cocktail party. The wrap tie is the icing on this flattering cake!

5. Pencil Dress: Hey there, rich mom! PrettyGarden’s ribbed midi dress hugs your body, while the front cutout shows off a little skin.

6. Comfy-Cozy: Buttons lining the sides of this sweater dress showcase your curves in the best way possible. Pockets are just a bonus!

7. Everyday Staple: Instead of sweats, opt for this bestselling mini sweater dress that has thousands of five-star reviews.

8. Twisty Tie: It doesn’t get more flattering than a bodycon midi dress. The polyester and spandex blend fabric keeps it extra stretchy, while the twisted detail adds some interest.

9. Elegant Queen: We’re a little (a lot) obsessed with the design on this expensive-looking knitted number. It looks like a designer find!

Outfit Sets

15. Ready to Go:sleeveless tank and wide-leg pant combo will make your upper body appear leaner.

16. Mock-Neck style: You’re bound to get at least 10 compliments wherever you go in this fashionable tracksuit.
