A Quick-Change Chain
The latest necklace–the lariat–is also a belt and a bracelet. It’s turning up in silver or gold with or without charms, beads, and tassels. Choose one that’s about 32 inches long with a hook or clasp on the end, and you’ll get day-to-night versatility. How to wear it:
Tie at the neck, cowboy-style, leaving ends hanging free, above.
Belt over a sweater, left, shirt, I or straight dress, or through trouser belt loops.
Wrap twice around neck for a dramatic choker.
Wind around wrist for a bracelet; great with a little black dress. Shown: silver-plate lariat with heart charms from Agatha, $57.
If you’re under 5’4″ and need to hide a few pounds, try these camouflage tactics:
- Go for jackets with hems that hit at the hipbone or higher, and straight-leg pants. Both will help elongate legs. “You’ll be perceived as taller and thinner,” says Mary Duffy, executive director of special sizes at Ford Models in New York City.
- If you’re top-heavy, try a tunic or roomy blouse over a narrow (preferably short) skirt.
- Pear-shaped, with rounded hips and thighs? Stick to A-line dresses that show a little bit of leg.
Also look for collections tailored for large petites–the clothes are cut to flatter your share. Our fashion director’s picks: Elisabeth by Liz Claiborne (800-555-9838), Maggie McNaughton (212-719-9039), Ulla Popken (800-245-8552), and For You from Spiegel (800-345-4500).
