STRIPED JUMPSUIT + FLAT SANDALS
PUBLYSSITY |
Everybody knows that vertical stripes make you look taller, even without heels. Take it one step further like Coterie member Alyssa Amoroso, and look for a breezy jumpsuit that shows a hint of leg.

MIDI SKIRT + T-SHIRT + POINTED TOE BOOTIES

An A-line midi nips your waist at its smallest point and helps to create an hourglass figure (even if you’re straight and narrow). Meanwhile, heeled pointed-toe booties give the illusion of a long line from waist to foot, and add extra height. Top it off with a casual tee that will stay airy on hot days (and hide any errant sweat stains).

POPLIN BLOUSE + DENIM SKIRT + STRAPPY PUMPS

Poplin photographs well because it’s super structured like wool or felt, but way more summer appropriate. (It’s actually just starchy cotton.) A dark denim mini ups the cool factor—just strap into some fierce minimalist pumps and you might even be able wear it to the office.

OVERSIZE SHIRT + FRINGED JEANS + BLOCK HEELS

PSA: Anything that shows a hint of shoulder gives a slimming effect. So go ahead, pair an oversize top with those trusty boyfriend jeans. Feminine block heels add a bit of #OOTD polish to an otherwise casual look.

Baring your shoulders isn’t just slimming; it also helps to break up busy patterns. A floral print midi dress is the epitome of summer, while peep-toe flats are an unexpected departure from your everyday sandals. Toss on some oversize shades for profile picture-perfection.

CULOTTE JUMPSUIT + HEELED SANDALS
BARBIE CONGA |
If you’re ever stuck on what to wear, turn to Coterie member Barbie Conga who proves a culotte jumpsuit is always a winner. The slightly cropped fit bares a little ankle, which makes your legs look slim, even with the added volume. Pop on a pair of bold heeled sandals to add a few more inches and leave your arms bare to further offset the billowiness.
Get the Look: Madewell jumpsuit; Steve Madden sandals
