This fall, why not give your work wardrobe a boost? The modern work environment isn't confined to just a boring black suit anymore, in most cases. Consider your body type and the parts that you want to accentuate or hide when it comes to office wear. Of course, if you work in a conservative environment like a law office, you won't want to bare too much. Nor do you want to call attention to those parts that aren't your favorite. So if you feel a little insecure about your upper arms, why not try a long-sleeved silk blouse? They're super-hot this season and offer a more flattering alternative to a button-down shirt. A dainty bow at the neck can add femininity to larger shoulders. The twinset used to be a work standard for women, but for those who are busty, it may call attention to a larger chest. The solution? Go without the buttons.
The drapey, button-less cardigan styles that are hot this season call less attention to the bust. If you have the opposite problem, then try a loose-fitting top that has a bow or tie in the front. You won't have to worry about filling out a loose-fitting top, and the bow will add volume to the front of the top. If you have an athletic or slender figure and are looking to create curves, then there are a couple of ways to achieve the look. First, a well-cut blazer that cinches - either with buttons or a belt - at the waist can help, particularly when the shoulders have a little padding. A belt paired with a shirt dress or sweater dress adds definition as well.
