Tribal trends to suit every figure
Embrace your wild side and try out safari style this summer, with clothes that hide a multitude of sins, from a skirt to make you look slimmer to a dress to boost your bust.
SLIMMING SKIRT
This thick skirt holds in curves yet skims over hips and thighs. Come winter, it’ll look great with a camel sweater and reaches the knee for those less sure of their legs.

LEG-LENGTHENING TROUSER
Pair trousers with a half-matching print top. A monochrome top with similar horizontal bands will create the same effect.
