General tips are great to have in your back pocket when shopping, but seeing them in action makes it easier to visualize what will look best on your frame. We love a cool third piece, particularly a moto jacket in an unexpected color.
This pale, dusty rose can work with many things in your closet. Look how well it matches an olive V-neck cami, statement earrings, and snakeskin belt. Same with a classic pair of dark, skinny jeans—both are excellent and flattering staple pieces. Have a presentation or big meeting on the books? A power outfit helps give you confidence. A printed blouse with high-waisted pants and a comfortable pair of heels is a foolproof combo. Keeping in mind this outfit is for the workplace, a keyhole neckline that draws the eye up without showing too much skin is perfectly appropriate.
We finished the outfit with pointed-toe shoes and tapered pants to create a long line from your waist to your toes. When dressing an hourglass frame, we like to focus on the bust, waist, and hips—a jumpsuit showcases all three of them. The open neckline draws the eye to your collarbone and bust, a fitted bodice shows your curves, and a wide leg adds volume and comfort to the look.

Chino-style shorts in a comfortable length are especially flattering on an hourglass. The age-old battle between button-downs and large busts. Simply find a shirt that fits the largest part of your body, then make friends with a tailor to take the rest of the shirt in.
Although we may advise against oversized clothing on an hourglass shape, there are ways to wear them and still highlight your shape. Tucking in a top or wearing a belt around your waist creates a focal point for the look. Jeans with stretch are key. They have some give in the hips to contour to your shape, and a high rise will complement your defined waist.
Most notably, wearing tops or dresses that highlight your waist immediately flatters your figure. You already have curves and a defined waist, so look for clothes that work with your body to complement your natural shape. Want more style tips?

Draw the eye Use lines to focus the eye where you want it to go. In that case, consider highlighting the sides of your waist by wearing a cropped jacket or high-waisted bottoms. Wear supportive undergarments that fit properly. When you have a curvy figure, it's especially important to ensure your undergarments fit well and provide proper support. For instance, your bra should comfortably lift your breasts, but the straps and back shouldn't dig into your skin.
If you need to, have your bra professionally fitted so you'll know exactly what size works best for you. You can also wear thong underwear to ensure there won't be any lines under your clothes. Method 2. Wear a body-skimming jersey top with bootcut jeans for a comfortable everyday look. Jersey is a knit fabric that's lightweight and soft, and it's commonly used in T-shirts and other casual tops.
As long as your garment fits properly, the jersey will skim over your figure, making you look comfortable and cool while still being flattering. Then, the slight flare on your jeans will balance out the curves of your hips.
Go girly and casual by pairing a skater dress with tennis shoes. A skater dress is a great way to show off your hourglass figure because it fits like a T-shirt on the top, is fitted at the waist, and then flares out at the hips. This casual dress is perfect for wearing to school, work, or just for hanging out with your friends—just toss on some low-profile sneakers and grab your bag!
A choker necklace is a pretty, trendy accessory to add to this look. If your style is a little tougher, try wearing your skater dress with a pair of rugged ankle boots instead. Add an extra in-your-face touch with a pair of ripped fishnets and plenty of dark eyeliner! Wear a miniskirt and a fitted tee if you want to show off your legs. If you love your shapely legs and you want to make them the focus of your outfit, try wearing a fitted scoop-neck tee, a miniskirt, and a pair of low-profile sneakers.
The T-shirt will give you enough coverage on top to balance out the fact that your legs are exposed, giving you a fun, flirtatious look. Toss on a bomber jacket for a cool way to stay warm in chilly weather. Bomber jackets have a stretchy band around the waist, perfect for drawing attention to that area. They're comfortable and casual, and you can make them work with almost any style.
For instance, a leather bomber jacket looks just as great with ripped boyfriend jeans as it does with a floaty dress. Try a satin bomber jacket with skinny jeans, heels, and a colorful fitted V-neck tee for a hip-hop inspired look that's perfect for an hourglass figure.
Method 3. Opt for peplum tops and dresses to emphasize your waist. Peplum tops typically fit snugly at the waist, then flare outward near the bottom hem, while peplum dresses often look similar to a peplum top with a pencil skirt. Garments with a peplum already mimic the shape of an hourglass, so they'll accentuate your curves perfectly. Try an empire-waist dress for an easy, flattering look. Empire-waist dresses are cut so that the waist of the garment hits just under the bust, emphasizing an area that's typically quite narrow on an hourglass figure.
The rest of the dress will flow over your stomach and hips, so it's perfect for hourglasses of all sizes. These dresses can be great for work, too! Use a cropped jacket for another way to draw attention to your waist.
When you wear a jacket that ends at your natural waist, it draws the eye to that area. That's a perfect, subtle way to accentuate your figure when you don't want to wear a belt. Try a dressy jumpsuit that's nipped-in at the waist for elegant comfort. If you choose a jumpsuit in a dressy material like chiffon, lace, or crepe, it can be just as stylish as a dress, but you'll have the added convenience of wearing pants.
Look for a style that will flatter your waist without constricting your bust or hips so you'll be comfortable no matter what event you're attending. Opt for a bodycon dress if you're daring. Bodycon dresses fit closely to your figure, so they're a great way to show off your hourglass figure. However, they're not very forgiving, so if you have any areas you'd rather not show as much, consider choosing a dress made from a heavy stretch material that will hold you in. Style your bodycon dress with tough ankle boots, dark eye makeup, and messy hair for an edgy rock-n-roll look.
Method 4. Wear a tailored blouse and slim-fitting trousers for a smart, dressy look. When you wear a blouse that's been tailored specifically to your body, you'll have plenty of room in your bust area while still showing off your waist. If you pair that with trousers that are cut to be narrow through your leg, you'll look professional and put-together, but you'll still be comfortable enough to get things done throughout the day.
A shirt that wraps at the waist is another great work-friendly option. Top your look with a belted trench if your style is classic. A trenchcoat is a timeless piece that looks good on almost everyone, but it's especially flattering on a curvy hourglass figure. Leave the trenchcoat open over a form-fitting outfit, or wear it belted if your outfit is flowy or boxy, as this will help define your waist. Go for business casual with a scoop-neck blouse, flared work pants, and low heels. A smart blouse, comfortable work pants, and sensible shoes are all you need for a look that's flattering without drawing too much attention to your figure.
In fact, by rotating through several blouses, you can wear variations of this outfit to work pretty much every day, if it makes you feel comfortable. If you're not comfortable walking in heels, flat-soled dress shoes are fine. Wear a wrap dress for an easy way to look professional. Wrap dresses are made to look like they're one piece of fabric that wraps around and ties at the waist. This versatile style looks great on a variety of body types, but it's especially flattering to an hourglass shape.
Even better, it's a no-fuss way to look put-together when you're in a hurry. Wear your hair in a neat, low bun and opt for a pair of sensible pumps to complete this work-ready look. Invest in a single-breasted jacket or blazer to dress up your work outfits.
Suit jackets and blazers are a great way to add a professional touch to any outfit, and single-breasted options are especially flattering on an hourglass figure. They're versatile, too—the same blazer might look just as good with a blouse as it does over a dress, so take the time to find one that fits you well. Also, if you can afford it, don't be afraid to pay a little more for a quality piece that will last a while.
Opt for a high-waisted pencil skirt for a sophisticated work look. Pencil skirts are made to fit close to your body, and a high-waisted version will typically hit right around the narrowest part of your waist. You can wear this versatile wardrobe staple a variety of different ways, like with a tucked-in chiffon blouse and pumps one day or with a cami and blazer another.
